So there are a couple of forums about this crazy technique involving certain videos or how to start and/or basic tricks

but I can already do all that

so I thought how about a forum for more advanced stuff. What are people trying. where are we going

there's already a 2 diabolo excalibur thread so i guess I'm thinking more about stuff with 1

I'm working on infinite vertax trapeze suicide (on the right stick at least three rotations)

i've started getting genocides back on the string so now i'm thinking about mini genocides

and I haven't figured out quite how but i'd like to try some sort of magic knot

anyone got any body rotations going on?

also I haven't even started working on it BUT if we can do chinese whips above our heads what about below the hips exaclibur! around the legs anyone?

bring it on everyone lets get this Bolo rolling

around right leg - i can do sometimes 2 rotations..

Jester · « **Reply #2 on:** July 03, 2005, 02:04:25 PM »

what sort of technique are u using for the orbits ?
could you describe it.

suns around the body + passing it around your back looks good

So i guess noone cares about excalibur ?

Unfortunately can't describe it.. Will learn this things and make video

Anyone know how to get into around the body/ legs?

I was messing with a body wrap to mini genocide way into it yesterday. Looks like its gonna work but still have to nail it. Any easier ways into it?

Ryo did an around the body excaliber at the IJA. Instead of going into excaliber by tilting the cup closest to you down, he would tilt it up, like inverse excaliber. The easiest way he got into it was doing constant correction while going around the body. I hope you can understand this... If not heres a picture

Did you see how he got into that position by any chance?

Nope was looking for a more lh bw circle right over head etc kind of explaination

CM · « **Reply #11 on:** August 02, 2005, 01:30:45 AM »

Ummmm can't really explain the other way he got into around the body.... Maybe someone else who was there could help me explain this.

Sharpes · « **Reply #12 on:** August 02, 2005, 02:39:33 PM »

I would assume it went like this:
in inverse excalibur, unwrap clockwise (to the right), jump over string and diabolo, then start orbiting.

ming · « **Reply #13 on:** August 02, 2005, 06:16:11 PM »

Found an easy(ish) way into it from normal excalibur. ufo grind, set up string throw the grind across catch and bob's your mothers brother

ming · « **Reply #14 on:** August 04, 2005, 07:10:46 PM »

norbi · « **Reply #15 on:** August 04, 2005, 08:35:33 PM »

hi i have just been able toget into excalibur with a chiese whip ( i think thats what it is called) and can do basic tricks but when the diabolo lows down i try doing more chinese whips but it keeps tilting and falls of

anyone that can help

jakethecakebhs · « **Reply #17 on:** August 05, 2005, 07:25:09 AM »

sorry if im annoying

Elmeri · « **Reply #18 on:** August 05, 2005, 08:16:37 AM »

If you´d watched seans vid about basics in excalibur you´d now that you are suppose to turn yourself if diabolo starts tilting. If that´s not gonna help just practice. Practicing is the key for this whole hobby.

I haven't seen anyone else mention this one these threads.. but I saw in a video of a guy who was doing infinite suicide. While still doing it, he tilted it into excalibur style and then turned his body 360 while still doing it.. and then tilted it back into normal infinite suicide.

Anyone else done this? I'm guessing it needs a pretty short string so you don't hit yourself, but it looked really cool. I could try to find the video.. was in the middle of a hong kong yo-yo vid I think.
