VotW: August 22-28, Sean

[Sean]

This week I'll jump in myself with a little extension on a trick from the "Smile" video. It's a single, double, and triple version of the trick I'll call the "propellor" (unless someone comes up with a more creative name ).

Hopefully many of you will find this a doable and fun trick.

Enjoy...

Wow, that trick is cool. I like when it keeps going around multipully.

[Punkerpanda]

that is a really cool trick, i will have to try it tommorrow.

do you give it a flick of the wrist when you release the diabolo?

[diabololi]

haha that's great! I wonder if it would be possible to do a finger grind variation so the diabolo doesnt stop

[chris_cabry]

[Will^]

Looking good.

Nice trick Sean Maybe you can call it 'infinite suicide propeller', or something like that? There already are 2 tricks named 'propeller'. Confusing huh?

[Marc]

nice trick i thought i have seen it before when my brother showed the video to me. Its a great trick.

[Dracodragon]

How bout infinite duicide? or the whirlpool or something, since there are other tricks named propeller, just like Martijn said.

[Chiok]

I'm all for the hyperbolic, over the top names like "Flying Handsticks of Death" or "Whirling Dervish".  I guess another term is needed when you hold onto the diabolo, kinda like "integral" is when you hold the string.  Though I guess not many people thought of holding onto the diabolo, kinda defies the point a lil.  Looks real nifty though!

i like this trick sean, it shows off a newer category-- "diabolo in hand" tricks which are smooth and show a flow (like if they were a finger grind or something). there really needs to be a name for it...the new bertrand/dai video has a great diabolo in hand trick too.

I like the 'Infinite Duicide' Idea too, but its probably not infinite, so 'Semi-Infinite Duicide' would be more fitting. Very nice trick though.

Sod that name, the only name I'll ever think of when I do that trick is "Whirling Dervish"! And thanks for the great trick. I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to, and I think that will be the first trick of the week I will have even tried so far.
