Sundia Evo all the way, they are by far the best fixed diabolos out there (in my opinion
![]() I would highly recommend the EVO G2, they are exactly like the G1s but more durable, the stability rings do not deform, since they are made from resin instead of metal, which is a huuuuuuge plus for me since it means grass, mud, sand, small rocks and other small debris cannot get caught in them. Also the cups are made of a slightly softer plastic, nothing like the finesse diabolos although probably comparable to Taibolos and Epics (if not a tiny bit firmer than them). 23
Practice / Re: NEW concept« on: April 10, 2016, 12:11:36 PM »Quote Daniel Dodson actually did this back in 2009 with fixed axles from shuffle Don't forget about Zack, he didn't do it as clean as Dodson but he did it way back in 2006, nearly 10 years ago!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAJbAQJQLtg And then he did an even cleaner version at the BJC in 2008: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-2IM_vlLfU&nohtml5=False Also Tino does similar tricks pretty much on a weekly basis thanks to his weekly series, although he usually unwraps the sprinkler with the diabolo that goes by instead of using his hands. Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful transition into the vortex, especially since you are using bearings which make the 'elevator' part of that trick much harder, the thing is that is isn't a new concept, just an awesome variation ![]() 24

Also the beautiful fts combo before it is certainly possible with fixed axle diabolos but the way he only needs to accelerate it a bit to go into another combo doesn't seem right, I would also be expecting the diabolos to wobble waaaay more than that and the suns to be slower, those kinds of very fast suns are a result of using bearings. There's also the fact that he uses his left hand quite a lot during his shuffle, likely due to the fact that he is using bearings. 25

I think that the problem with doing the voting for the editor this early in the year is that many people will decide to leave the filming to later and eventually they will forget about it after a couple of months. Another solution could be to try to make the collab bi-annual (since 6 months is an arbitrary a measure of time as 365 days

Ok I have spent the last hour trying to figure out some patterns and I came up with these:
Shuffle (5) = 3B7 64 = 93B53B 753 = b3B73B33B 8642 = d3B93B53B13B 56[73]45 = 3B73B93B[b3B33B]53B7 574[73]635 = 3B73Bb3B53B[b3B33B]93B7 567[82]345 = 3B73B93Bb3B[d3B13B]33B53B7 58483[82]72625 = 3B73Bd3B53Bd3B33B[d3B13B]b3B13B93B13B7 Also there is this massive combo: 3B73B73B73B73B93B53B73B73B73B73B73B93B53B73B93B53B73B93B53B73B93B53B93B53B93B53B93B53B73B73B73B73B73B73B73B73B73B73B93B53Bb3B73B33B73B73B73B73B73B73Bb3B73B33Bb3B73B33Bb3B73B33Bd3B93B53B13Bd3B93B53B13Bd3B93B53B13Bd3B93B53B13B73B73B73B73B73B93Bb3B33Bb3B33Bb3B33Bb3B33Bb3B33Bb3B33Bb3B33Bb3B33B53B73B73B73B73B73B73B93Bb3Bd3B13Bd3B13Bd3B13Bd3B13Bd3B13Bd3B13Bd3B13Bd3B13Bd3B13B33B53B7 I think that although this is very complicated compared to DSSS I can see it being more useful for things such as reverse throws and things like that which I am going to try doing right now. I recommend setting the speed to 7.5 beats per second and setting the dwell beats to 1.0 for a more realistic looking shuffle ![]() 34

Nev is the best haha Quote could you compare it to the fixed axle sundia EVO and other bearing diabolos.

They are all so nice, I am tempted to buy some but they are quite expensive, especially considering considering they come without the lighting kits
