maintaining sprinklers

[phil12321]

i can sprinkler (or hyperloop as ive seen it called i believe) quite well, but i am unable to make one last for over a couple of seconds and so cant bounce them or do suns which is quite frustrating.
so what i would like to know is what is the key to keeping sprinklers going? is it speed or something else?
all advice is greatly appreciated and if there is already a thread on this could you please post a link
thank you

keeping the diabolos strait without tilt and inline is important... i heard it helps to point the sticks downwards a bit and also inline with the axels.
im having the same problems but those things helped abit.

im not terribly experienced myself, but i find that the main issue in maintaining sprinklers is having the diabolos spinning very fast and also keeping the stick tips level. i had issues with one stick falling and that put more force on the other side and collapsed the sprinkler
