We have another moderator stepping in today - Martijn's got what he dubs "mini-suicide madness" for you try out.

totally in love with you're style martijin, the music was good too.

Hathaway · « **Reply #2 on:** October 20, 2008, 01:23:10 PM »

Martijn would really love to see a glow version of this!

That would be ace if you found an easy way to swap the swinging hand mid trick - especially with glow sticks

Cool. I think I can combine this with Hugo some way or another..

martijn · « **Reply #5 on:** October 20, 2008, 03:04:52 PM »

I don't quite get what you mean looby? during the sun move, or during the turn-around?

Glowsticks is an excellent idea

I'll try to film that tonight.

Loved that! A great idea and there's lots of combinations to explore.

Funty · « **Reply #7 on:** October 20, 2008, 06:32:24 PM »

the first little bit, 12-15 second bit is brilliant and yes it would work well with a hugo. i think it definately calls for teeth getting involved on the static stick if thats possible:)

That`s some gangsta ****

I think if you just combine tricks with some swinging like that it can make them look much better!
good work.

Marijn · « **Reply #9 on:** October 20, 2008, 08:45:48 PM »

Liked it a lot, nice to see suicides that aren't ''flat''.

Arjan · « **Reply #10 on:** October 20, 2008, 09:01:33 PM »

Dope ****, a real good find!

Dude since when is diabolo getting so girly again btw?

martijn · « **Reply #11 on:** October 20, 2008, 10:20:09 PM »

I beg your pardon? girly?

Arjan · « **Reply #12 on:** October 20, 2008, 10:21:46 PM »

Lol, I mean poi-ish maybe

Which I'm totally okay with

Ceri-Anne · « **Reply #13 on:** October 20, 2008, 10:22:01 PM »

What's wrong with girly?

martijn · « **Reply #14 on:** October 20, 2008, 10:35:04 PM »

Secretly, I've always liked poi.

On a more serious note, the greatest tricks in diabolo are poi crossover tricks. Lutin's 2d swing moves, mini suicide tricks (although these can also be seen as 5A yo-yo [counterweight] crossover tricks) and more recently Sergej's butterfly integrals. Arjan, eat your heart out!

Arjan · « **Reply #15 on:** October 20, 2008, 10:36:44 PM »

Okay... I'll shut up.

Can't forget the fan airwrap/hyperloop from poi that has become popular today.
