General / Diabolo article on CCTV

« on: October 16, 2006, 12:20:27 AM »

This was posted on a yo-yoing blog a couple of days ago. CCTV (a chinese-oriented station) aparantly did a short profile of an older diabolo player. Not super-long, but still makes for interesting reading:

I did notice that they seem to have all of their episodes online. Judging from one of the screen captures, this was Culture Express. And the transcript is dated 9-18-06. They didn't mention "Kongzhu" in the preview portion, but perhaps it is still part of that episode. Or it might be in one of the episodes from a couple of days earlier. If someone has the time to watch through some of these, it'd be awesome to see the actual video for it.

Here's a short video from Japan with some diabolo and yoing. Not super hard stuff, but I find it funny that they're doing it at a playground. I wonder if it was inspired by the Smile video??
