Here is the footage of the first ever diabolo freestlye contest at the world yoyo contest. Make sure to check out rei's freestyle, his style is very influential.  Although this is a world contest the diabolo freestyles do not give a world title. enjoy

Thanks for posting Shane looks like it was a lot of fun! Thought your ending for your freestyle was original, bouncing diabolo off your fro' into whip catch!? But the slack trick to the fro' was the best.

The 5A yo-yo winner was the BEST, EVER.

Ryuya Kaneko at 1:30. That is a sweet fan entrance.

Prick.


They are good at yoyo and diabolo a second choice.  Props to 2nd though he could have won if he didnt drop so much

The 5A 1st (Takeshi Matsuura) was a mighty fine performance for one so young.

Some nice diabolo stuff aswell - thanks for sharing.

I especialy like Rei Iwakura's artistic performance! I'm not so much in to yoyo but it looks quite creative to use two or three strings on one yoyo!
