Martijn's still kickin ass!
It was tricky to see the sticks sometimes infront of the brick wall, but still a great video!

[-Leo-]

 

Now that I've used my smiley quota up: That was fantastic!

Good to see you're still diaboloing, I thought you might have been having a break, seems like anything but that. Great video, keep on doing what you're doing. Your site was one of the first to motivate me to pick up a diabolo and practice, so it's good to see that you're still active.

(So what've you got for the collab? [insertextrasmileyhere])

[Funty]

i liked the bit where the diabolos bounce off each other:)

[fzzyrn]

Darn you, moffet.

I'm just poor. I'll get crystal suns to learn 3 for christmas if jugglingstore doesn't get taibolos in.

I figure "if the taiwanese can use them for 3, i should too"

[Sharpes]

Awesome stuff, I liked the creativity, and it was hilarious! I also really liked that it was only two locations, each had a really nice aesthetic. Great work! take a smaller break between videos this time please!

[iroQuai]

..most of the time when people use only two locations in a video other people tell them to put some more effort in finding locations - now it's a good thing?

Anyway, there were some creative tricks in the video! fun to watch

[nev]

just watched this in Southampton Airport - had a relative crowd of 4 people behind me by the end

Nice work there Tijn - well worth the wait

..most of the time when people use only two locations in a video other people tell them to put some more effort in finding locations

I think the 2 good locations fit well with the "work in progress I'm letting you in on a practice session" kind of theme (or rather officially "stuff I'm working on"). But, no, I guess a variety of interesting backgrounds is not usually a bad thing either. Anyways...

1. Is that a Jack Johnson shirt?
2. Your white suns have a kind of hyper-glow look to them outside. Lovely.
3. Took me 3 watches before I realized that "look! a worm!" wasn't the name of a new move.
4. Bob and weaved de-interlacing rocks.
5. I like the little suicide move at 0:40
6. 1:34 "The backscratcher" There, the move has been named.
7. 1:41 Nice grawlix
8. 1:46 I think I remember you making me learn something like that in a video tennis match way back when!
9. 2:02  No, really, what the hell? Nice reaction.
10. 2:07 love that move
11. 2:56 My favourite part
12. "The neck greaser" ... makes you looked possessed
13. 3:15 Ha! Don't worry, I closed my eyes.

Awesome.

Once you're suitably emabarrased we'll change the frame-shot.

Ha yeah, what Sean said. I wasn't even planning on releasing this on the forum - it's just a practise vid, I know a brick wall or a bush with lotsa tiny leafs is not a proper filming background (boy, I had to use a high bitrate to make it watchable!) I did put a bit of effort into the editing though. Glad you all liked it! Thanks for the positive comments.

@ Leo: don't worry, I'll have some stuff for the collab vid

1. Is that a Jack Johnson shirt?

Ha! It's not actually. It's from a Dutch rapper. I don't know if it's clear, but the print is a tree with hands for leafs (just like the cover of his debut album).

2. Your white suns have a kind of hyper-glow look to them outside. Lovely.

Yeah, that happened on a few spots where the sun shines through the tree above me. Fly's look great on video!

8. 1:46 I think I remember you making me learn something like that in a video tennis match way back when!

Not really... the tennis move was something like an under the leg crossed catch. These backside bounces are a bit different. (although there's nothing new about backsides or backside throws ) They don't look very impressive though.

10. 2:07 love that move

To be honest, that one is stolen from Arjan as well. I tweaked it to my own style, so I thought I could pull that off

[fasilevi]

amazing just amazing   

[Arjan]

To be honest, that one is stolen from Arjan as well. I tweaked it to my own style, so I thought I could pull that off

I don't agree. Because I wanted to show them first what a kewl move I found! I'm very childish about it really...
Well since I haven't put out a video for a while it's always a risk someone stealing your thunder.
Other than that, I found the majority of this video not soo intresting. Except for the use of comments and lines on the video material and the happenings.

What I do have to say is that I'm glad you gave the credits for it, that's fair enough.

[garner]

thankyou arjan

[Arjan]

That's just what I wanted to hear Garner, thnx! I live for that stuff!  Apparently.. 

[garner]

i'm not going to sleep with you

[Arjan]

Wow! You're a feisty one! Do you think I would consider sleeping with you again?

[barnesy]

Come on chaps, this isn't the place for flirting.

[Squiggle]

Wow! You're a feisty one! Do you think I would consider sleeping with you again?

I have a new form of respect for you now, Arjan.

Video is downloading...afk dial up.

[Ethan]

changing the subject a little... awesome video!

[Diabolo88]

Liked it, solid video and nice music. Very much liked the style with some stickhits, you don´t see that very often. "Frenchcombo" looked good too.
What were you doing when you bowed your head down in that one clip though?

That last trick looks a little like something I´m working on currently (same start except I only throw one stick). What´s the thought in your trick (it looks interesting)? Geno both? That´ll be difficult...

[Aaron Z]

What's the White diabolo that you're using?

I tried pausing the video lotsa times so I could see what color the hubs were, which would decide between Sun/Fly but I can't pick it out.
