I just learnt to... (2007)

[OLOBAID]

Edit by Sean, November 12 2009:
--------------------------
This is one of many "I just learnt to..." threads which was started by mrbpink back in 2005. Its intended purpose was as follows:

When you learn a new trick you want to show it and tell others that you have achieved something new. This is a thread where you can tell about your latest achievements, doesn't matter if its the string climb or a solid four diabolo shuffle you just learnt, tell us about it! And let others be inspired by what you do!

The original "I just learnt to..." thread wasn the most popular thread on the forum. Long forum threads induce an extra burden on the forum database server, so to keep things running smoothly around here I have started archiving these threads by year.

If you really feel like reading them all, there are about 1000 posts per year (2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005). There may also be more years of threads since this message was written. Have a look around. Otherwise, just post in the most recent version of this thread. It should be near the top of the Tricks section. It almost always is.

this is my first day of using a diabolo and i just mastered my first trick (other than just controling the diabolo) it's the right Right Trapeze. also i can now use the disbolo with my left and right hand (left handed).

Hah cool. I've been messing around with left handed diabolo a bit, I can do inf. suicide, genocide, 2D shuffle and 2D suns when I'm lucky..

in the past few hours i just learnt to do jamicides (do a sun, let go of both sticks after the diabolo reaches 10 o'clock, and catch sticks) , magic knots, and whip catches (too lazy to master the basics before moving on lol )
