martijn Its a really great website, i was just wondering which sprinkler do you find the easiest to do and which you learned first.
(These are from your website)
Sprinkler (left backwrap)
Sprinkler (lbw) > suicide out
Sprinkler (lbw) > sun out
Arm stall to sprinkler

I'm New / Order of learning 2 diabolo tricks.

« on: April 03, 2005, 05:34:36 PM »

This was how i learned it:

1.learning to wrap start.
2.succesfully learning to shuffle and carry on shuffling.
3.Attempted correcting(success rate  5/10)
4.back wrap on passes to speed up diabolos.
5.standerd diabolo sun to the left (success rate 8/10)
6.Correcting diabolos (success rate 7/10)
7.360 sun and standerd diabolo sun to the left
8.correcting diabolos (success rate 8/10 i was finding correcting on passes hard and one of the diabolos kept leaning up or down, but not to the side)
9.Attempted spinkler (left back wrap) still cant do them)
10.correcting 2 diabolos (still can't do to perfection!)
And still learning new tricks.

I have to say i've found correcting the hardest thing so far.

the light kits are probably up there because i think they're being redesigned. I ordered some back in november from butterfingers and first of all they said there was some problem at the factory but last week  they said they still haven't come because they're being redeisgned or something. Anyone else know anything about this?

Someone told me that the redesign will be that the light kits light up as the diabolo spins so when the diabolo is not spinning it wont light up(is that good or bad?)
