wait can circular accelerations and horizontal be done with 2d?
heres wat i can do, i speed one diabolo, throw the next one in and speed it up with the chinses vertical pretty nicely
when i try to speed the original one it wraps up the string. WHY!!?? its driving me crazy
Also, im trying the continuos acceleration with the chinese vertical, i can do around 3, the one not being sped up flies off too fast. Please give me some advice could holding the stick from the middle help?

Tricks / Re: Am I doing an S-fan, AC Fan, C Fan? [was: Man I suck at...]

« on: January 16, 2008, 07:47:23 AM »

I changed the subject at bit. This is a common bit of confusion and I think it's worth having a thread on it... unless there is one devoted to this and I just can't remember it! I know it has been discussed before, but it is a bit hidden.

So again:
S-fan - both diabolos speed up (or both speed down depending on the orientation). Named after the true 'S' shape of string around the diabolos. One diabolo is on the backside/darkside/opposite side from normal, and the other diabolo is on the normal side.

AC Fan - "Anticlockwise fan" (typically assuming a right handed diabolist).
Also known as the normal/traditional/regular fan. Regular orientation of string. One diabolo speeds up, one slows down.

C Fan - "Clockwise fan" (typically assuming a right handed diabolist). Opposite direction of rotation to AC fan. One diabolo speeds up, one slows down.

Lots of good threads about all the above in the trick and video archive sticky.

OMG thank you for that post
now u cleared the whole fan thing
we all now no the difference between c fan, S fan etc
thanks from the world!
 
just made my day

now, to figure out how to get in and out of the s fan
