Thank you diabolo.ca

[J_J777]

I have made a video of some of my newer tricks (mainly two diabolo) but I want to dedicate this video to diabolo.ca and to Sean for making diabolo.ca.  This site has helped me a lot so yeah....

(also I noticed my shuffle is slightly asynch?  is that normally how it's suppose to be for 2 diabolo?  Will 3 asynch be easier or synch for 3 because I normally do asynch now?)

Pretty cool  I'm just learning fans and ani-suicides now that will help a lot.

[fildas]

how old are you?

[J_J777]

everytime i post a video someone always asks that question....  (I've posted two movies)  I'm 14.... yes I'm short but that isn't a bad thing

[Spooned]

Nice dude, and a great idea too. If you have the time could you post a qucik tutorial for the thrick at 1:50 - 1:58, called swinging, i belive i posted a while back on it   . Ive been trying for sooo long with no success.

[Arjan]

I like that last before and after shot.
Creates the illusion that everyone who will join this forum will be very very good with diabolo in a month or so... Happy that is just an illusion.

[J_J777]

Arjan I did diabolo for about a month before I joined i could do trapzee and a few simple knots but three months later I'm as good as I am now.  so I've only been diaboloing for 4 months maybe a tiny bit more but yeah...

Spooned, swinging requires SPEED like if you think it's going fast, speed it up more.  then do a stick stall and put the other stick in the middle and swing the diabolo on the right over like you're paddling a kayak.  (for those that can use a bo staff, it's like swinging it around and around.)

three months later ...

3 months? Man, I've been practicing like a madman since I joined three months ago and you've got me licked in every department!
You're awesome!

[I_Ko]

I cannot say anything but really nice work! I really like the video both because i also have a great use of diabolo.ca, and because I am about the same level as you, and therefore there is alot to learn from the video atm! I really like it! Good work!

(Say to Matt that he should make some 'single' video to)

Have fun!

I'll say this for "matt"  It's MattHEW not matt.  and i'll tell him.

[Mithew]

thx J_J777, by the way, you said in your swinging instructions "put the other stick in the middle and swing the diabolo on the right over like you're paddling a kayak", i find that also, for swinging, you should start by carefully moving only one diabolo at a time (slowly), and always moving them in a straight line, if you break down the movements, it's a lot easier

[J_J777]

yeah and you can do more rotations the cleaner it is because if the string isn't hitting the sides then you lose less spin.

HeHe i know "Dont call me Matt"

[Sean]

Thanks for the big up, J_J777. It's great to know that people are benefiting from the diabolo forum.

I never envisioned it getting as big as it has. The forum has become the friendly resource that it is thanks to its many generous users and moderators. Keep it up everyone!

[Pete]

THat was great, you seem to have progressed really quick. It took me a year to learn 2 diabolos, but i had absolutely no decent help, and i didn't have diabolo.ca so that just shows how useful it is. Thanks sean for making this site it is so useful.
