Please enjoy!
I want to make my routine better, so I want your opinion!

Thanks!

[Sean]

I'll just jump in and mention that Fariu's routine is definitely worth watching. The routine just keeps getting better throughout - the final 1 diabolo section is stunning. Some great original stick throwing and finger grinding moves, near perfect timing with the music, and a well choreographed routine.

Don't miss the ending!

Great job Fariu.

 I love it, the only thing i would say that you could do is to catch the suicides where you try to kick it back up to your hand. The rest was amazing, esp the 1d suicide section and the part where you caught it between your legs. I also liked the way you broke up the flow of the routine with the hand grinds. Awesome. Keep it up.

[Martijn]

Some original stuff in your routine fairu! Nice suicides. I like the cradle between your legs Fun that you begin with 3, then 2 and end with 1 diabolo. Seems so obvious, but I don't think I've saw someone do that before.

Keep it up!

Loved the suicide-music-synchronised part, really great.

[diabololi]

That was beautiful   .
Perfectly synchronized and some lovely original tricks there.
*goes off to try the fingergrind to duicide*

That was very good - I'm a great admier of suicides - those were excelent, what a classy way of getting into around the leg!

The suicides syncronised with the music was also amazing.

Another thing I really liked was the finger grinds - in particualr the ones where you only actualy touched the diabolo for a few moments to flick it back in another direction.

Altogether an amazing selection of tricks - best of all, they were strung together very smoothly.

I was very intrested that you went straight into 3 diabolo and then down to 2 and then 1 - its a different way of doing things that I hadnt thought of, im not sure if it works or not, the great thing about going from 1 onto multiple diabolo is that initially newcomers to diabolo cant quite get their head around how 2 diabolo on 1 string works, on the other hand, 2 diabolo tricks can seem a little slow after a very fast paced impressive 1 diabolo routine like you did there.

Alltogether im very impressed - thanks for putting that on the web

[Purplegirl]

Very impressive

hi

would also like to say what a great routine this is both as a jugglers routine and i think the general public would find this entertaining aswell. my only thought was maybe to finish on three diabolos, rather than start on it.  although this is a refreshing idea to start on 3 i think it may confuse the non-cultured audience members and trivialise the one diabolo stuff however amazing it is.  

this is only being constructive criticism and in no way detracts from one of the best routines i have seen, just think that if the idea is to sell this routine, which by the looks of the choreography, it is, then it might be better to put the three diabolos on the end. start strong, fill the middle with good-ish stuff then finish on a high is the general rule but hey rules are there to be broken i spose.

Thank you for commenting!

>arnie

Yes, I also think finishing with 3 is better for non-juggler.
Thank you!

I like to see acts that don't go 1, 2, 3.  I guess it's a speed thing - 3 high is obviously big and impressive, but 1 diabolo stuff is so much faster than most 2 or 3 tricks.  I think it can be more exciting for an audience.

[arnie]

got to agree there barnesy (sp!) :>

what about 2 diabolo fans and sprinklers? they are pretty fast and impressive, I think some 2 diabolo stuff has moved on to a point now where it can be fast and exciting

[Hoop]

Wow!  Wonderful routine.  Otsukasan is quickly becoming one of my favorite players.  I have to take a diabolo world tour soon.  I will start in California to visit Matt Hall, fly to Japan to see Yabesan and Otsukasan, stop in France to see TMFP, pick up some Henry's in Germany, then bring all of my footage and stories(and a couple of things from Henry's) to Canada so Sean can post them.  Anyone else want to go?

[w35ku]

Nice video Fairu, I have seen you in IJA 2004 and that video, do u have a homepage ?

want more vids

[norbi]

.... fly to Japan to see Yabesan and Otsukasan, stop in France to see TMFP...

Might wanna drop in on Ryo and Makky while your there.

i love how people say 'stop in___' as if its a small town, the FP live all over France, it sont be A stop.  It's like when i say i live in England someone from America says "oh cool, so does my Auntie, do you know_____" (lol, maybe not that bad, but if you've had it you know what i mean)

[Capitaine buisson]

nice routine   with some very good idea

[Hoop]

Norbi, I think Ryo is the Yabesan I was talking about.     And how could I have forgotten you?!!!  I will have to "stop in" and see you too.  You are my suicide hero.  The way I learned infinite suicides was to pretend I was you and whistle the A-team theme song!!!  It worked.     I was showing it to a neighborhood kid and I said "this is called suicide."  I messed up and hit myself in the leg and the kid said, "Now I know why!"  

[Mattias]

Yabesan=Rya Yabe, no? (bleisk, man im slow...)
But definately Makky, my favorite diabolist at the moment, so fast...

[norbi]

Norbi, I think Ryo is the Yabesan I was talking about.     And how could I have forgotten you?!!!  I will have to "stop in" and see you too.  You are my suicide hero.  The way I learned infinite suicides was to pretend I was you and whistle the A-team theme song!!!

Oops, i feel a little silly now, that was so obviously (but you still forgot Makky   )
Thanx for the compliment, not sure about A-Team, i dont remember doing anything to that (although interestingly i do sing the theme tune whever i am trying hard stuff)

[Hoop]

Norbi, I have a video called D2.mov.     I'm pretty sure it's you, and not many others encode with quicktime.     It looks like you are doing genocides and suicides, and the A-team theme is playing.
