Wow that sucks about the music and handsticks. But anyway, I have a few pointers. I'm assuming these people know nothing about diaboloing, and when working with an audience like this, they're going to set the first few things they see as the "baseline" of what's possible and judge everything else that they see off of that. So, start with the extreme basics. Do a few trapezes, lots of suns, and then do some tosses. People looove tosses. They also love whip catches, elevators, and infinite suicides. But back to what I was saying, you kinda have to acclimatize them to it, so they aren't confused about what's going on. Like you did that infinite suicide right off of the bat, and most of the people probably had no idea what to expect from your performance at that point. Look at my talent show performance: [noembed] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyMXIDkESv8 [/noembed]We did really easy tricks and got an amazing reaction. Secondly, slow down, and take time to let the audience see the tricks. When holding a pose, wait until you think you should get out of the pose, then wait 10 more seconds. If you had done this with that hand stand cradle, the audience would have gone crazy. But the slowing down applies to all tricks, not just poses. Lastly, accelerate less. You really don't need as much speed as you think, and this will allow you to spend more time doing tricks. But nice performance, and awesome tricks.
I like your energy but you forget to breath take more rest (will make stuff more solid).*Thumb up* keep it up
Do you mind explaining the under the leg backcatch sun (2:49)? I really want to learn it and I tried it but I got confused. Thanks.
Thanks for replying. I'm very sorry for no being more clear. I meant the part right after that. The backcatch after doing the 180 turn from around the leg. My string ends up tangled (and I would have to sun it) when I try doing your trick.
Thanks! I think i have an idea of what is happening now. I'll keep practicing. You've been a great help.
