hey was just wondering who here has an interest in diabolo's as in these

http://www.freewebs.com/samiotto/diabolo-harlequin.jpg

if so what tricks have you learnt and do you have any vids of it.

so far i would say that im good on my poll since i have learnt all the basic tricks (except whip catches i cant seem to land those for some reason) and some more advanced ones or made new tricks entirely.

one of my new tricks is to put my left wrist in an upright position and make the stick parallel to my arm and wrap the right stick around the left and my arm and under the diabolo so it looks like a basic trapeze. once i have done that i make the diabolo go up and over my left arm to unravel the trapeze follow it up with the momentum to get a trapeze on the right and let it fall into a suicide and catch the stick.

also what diabolo model do you have. im currently using the babeches finesse and carbon fibre sticks (i snapped my old wooden ones by whipping them to hard to get speed up)

I would say my skill level is low...
When I was younger I tried to get into it but due to a short attention span got bored. Still, kudos if you're good at it. It's definitely something you can't just pick up and do.
