Akselj Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Yes, Diabolo. Not Diablo. It's not an typo.You know what an Diabolo is? For those who doesn't know…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiaboloYeah, that's what I wanna talk about.Here's a pic of my diabolos:On my pic you see:Green: Henry's KolibriTwo Blue: Henry's JazzOn top: Henry's Aliminium SticksI'm thinking to buy some more(not Henry's, I want some Mr. Babache Diabolos this time), and when I get 16 (darn I have to wait long :sad:) I can finally buy fire Diabolos!I love Diabolo, fun and addicting hobby. Anyone ever tried it?I don't think this will be a big topic… So why not talk about general juggling? Feel free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 they are those juggling thingys right? you have the string and flip them up and catch them on the string? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akselj Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Yup, though there are much more to do with them than throw it up and catch it… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Yeah, I broke someone else's bone using those. I might tell why. They're pretty fun but boring after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jna Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Ya my friend had one. They are very cool. Especially since you can throe it very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khachaturian Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I've seen those around, they're pretty cool, never figured out how to do it though, sounds like a cool hobby though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Can you do the stick one? where you smack the one stick with two other sticks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akselj Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 @ Jna I threw on eso high I broke it…. There got air bubbles inside the rubber of the drop... And trust me, you don't want a bumpy Diabolo.@ Bone It's actually really simple, what you basically do is "fish" with the hand you accelrate with. For beginners, start with it on the ground, lett it roll to get some spin and lift it up. It's very simple, I actually got it first time I tried.@ Gwen Umm... I'm not sure what you mean...

Akselj Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 You gotta buy quality Diabolos, those I have definitivley are. Well, you can tell it easily, are they made of rubber or plastic? If they are made of plastic then it's those sucky Diabolos…. I hate those.... If it's rubber it's probably quality. And I still don't get what Gwen means....
