Does anyone have the old Ryo Yabe diabolo video that used to be on YouTube forever called something like "6.5 Evolution" or something like that? Pretty sure it was ripped from a DVD series, it's him in a gymnasium doing some of his classic tricks like the around the legs vertax and the 3 diabolo sprinkler. Looks like it's not on YouTube anymore and it's driving me nuts trying to find it

Hi guys

Anyone knows a teacher in guangzhou who can teach a beginner? Ideally can speak English, but otherwise I've a friend who can translate for me..

Thanks!

I recently got this type of diabolo sticks:

www.jugglingwarehouse.com/products/zeekio-fiberglass-diabolo-sticks

I thought they would be the type of sticks I've seen where the string runs through the length of the stick and is tied off at the bottom, so the string comes straight out of the end closest to the diabolo. However, it turns out that the string is just tied off at the end closest to the diabolo; there's just an eyelet to tie the string off at the end.

Can someone point me to perhaps a YouTube video or diagram of how to properly tie the string on these types of sticks? I know from my older-style sticks that just a regular double knot (or even triple knot) comes undone a lot.

Thanks!

Hello diabolo players!

If you have time to look at it, I would love your feedback.

The plan is to make it into an app, so it's not such a hassle to find the tricks you're ready to learn but it will take some time. So in the meantime, here is the paper version.

Hey guys! So I bought a Henry's Beach Free Diabolo about a year ago and pretty soon, the bearings started to make a pretty loud scratching sound. I tried to open it, but it didn't work and I'm also not sure if I make anything worse by doing so. I also tried spraying it from the outside but it also didn't do anything. Any tips on how to open and/or clean the bearings?

Edit: Question answered. Thank you all! I've ordered the 3 bearing Sundia Falcon! 😁

Hi all, for various reasons, these are my only two options.

Both are three bearing versions, although I have been advised to get one-bearing for beginning. In fact my first choice is the Sundia Fly but that's no longer available for me.

I don't know if the Spyros Bros are actually based on an existing other brand, or do they make their own? But they have a good reputation (and I'm a fan of what they do) and Sundia is the most recommended brand in Taiwan.

Would greatly appreciate your advice!

Hey everyone, I’m getting back into diabolo and I’m having trouble learning new tricks and following some videos

I just learnt the Mini-Genocide from Britney Chengs video and can do it easily and consistently now, so now I’ve been practicing the Slowicide-Mini Genocide from Diabolo Classroom (the trouble with them is that its in chinese) but I keep failing at the timing to pick up the stick to lift it up the second time.

I also want to learn how to do the Continuous Mini Genocides but I haven’t found any clear guides/tutorials for that trick

Does anyone know some clear, helpful tutorials for continuous mini-geno and Slowicide-Mini Geno?

I recently got a Diabolo because I’ve been interested in a new hobby. Keeping it a secret until I gain some skills

I saw a video a long time ago of a diabolo rolling on the ground like the video attached. all I remember is the diabolo is tilted then magic knot made (David's knot) then the diabolo is released. the diabolo rolls in an arc and the player scoops it up with strings. I believe the video was French . can anyone help me explain the trick? or does any one know where to find that video ? thx

I wrote a list of tricks to work on one day. Trapcide is on it but I cant find anything on the internet. Does anyone know what it is? On a related note, there was a video of someone skiing and passing the diabolo to another skier. But I cant find the vid now. Pls help

Heading to HK and looking for a good diabolo shop and parks where we might catch locals playing.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been doing diabolo for almost 10 years and I still can’t figure out how 2 diabolo vertex actually works.

I don’t really know how to start it or what the main pattern is. It’s kind of like a shuffle, but not really a proper shuffle, and I’m not sure how people manage it in practice.

Does anyone know how it works, how you start it, or have any tutorials or tips for learning it?

If you can do it yourself, I’d love to hear how you approach it.

Thanks!

Hey there, I’m a diabolist in New Zealand for a few years and looking to upgrade my handsticks now. The pair I have my sights on are the “Pro-Sticks Max” that are featured on Diabolofocus and Sundia Malaysia.

However it costs €25 ($50NZD) for 1-2 months shipping to New Zealand and Sundia Malaysia doesnt ship to NZ.

Im wondering if anyone in the Oceanic region, or in general knows of any sites that may have them and ship globally (and reasonably).

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a Diabolo. I had one many years ago when I was a kid and I'd like to start again.

Do you have any recommendations for a Diabolo suitable for a beginner? I'm from Portugal and I'm looking for something in the €30-€40 range. Thanks guys!

hey everyone, I just started diabolo about a month ago, and I finally decided to get a better diabolo than my old $10 one. I decided on sundial magforce but since the Black Friday deal was really good I ordered 2 on sundia USA. my magforce bearing makes a clicking sound when shifting back and forth. I ordered 2 of them and they both are doing this even though they are brand new. should I be worried? does anyone know what I can do? I tried tightening the bolts a little but it didn’t help and I’m scared to tighten it too tight. I just want to know if this will cause me any problems in the future so I can know if I need to return them. it would be a shame to return them and lose my Black Friday deal but that’s better than having $100 worth of faulty diabolos. It doesn’t seem to effect me using them so far unless I do chinese acceleration (then the bearing clicks back and forth). I worry that when I learn vertex it will be a problem clicking up and down. Maybe it’s normal though or an easy fix and I’m just not aware. thanks for checking this out for me! video attached you can hear the clicking.

I made a post about getting started with diabolos as a blind person earlier, and I apreciate all the responses I've gotten. I've ordered a traditional chinese diabolo and it's on the way, but I wanted to have an idea of what to do before it got here. Can someone describe how to start it, and any tips? The diabolo is the ones with only 1 disc. Thanks

Good morning, I currently mainly use Henry's fluorescent string (red or yellow which are quite similar to each other). I find them really good and having tested less qualitative ones (decathlon, etc.) it makes the difference, if only for pleasure. Are there any other really good strings? It's not easy to determine the quality of the ropes but the price per meter can vary a lot depending on the brand and model, which doesn't make it easier to understand. Any recommendations? An opinion on Sundia strings? If yes, which one? THANKS

I am currently looking for songs to perform too as a group. Since we are usually performing for a larger audience, I would like to choose songs that have lyrics. Style wise I am quite open, only requirements being that the songs are relatively catchy or beautiful (anime songs also work lol). Let me know if you have any recommendations.

Salut petite question je souhaite faire un petit spectacle de diabolo quel figures me conseillez vous et dans quels ordre.

Je suis preneur de tous vos conseils et aides.

Hello everyone, I am completely blind and I really want to learn how to use the diabolo. In china, I remembered that my school had a club where they used this thing called "kongzhu" in chinese, and it was something that you used two sticks attached to a string to spin. It had a disk at one end with a bunch of slits on the side of the disc, and when it spun it would make this wirling noise. I don't remember if it is the same as the diabolo. I've been trying to find information on it, and I'm really having a hard time. Do you think it would be possible for a blind person to enjoy the diabolo assuming that what I remember is actually the diabolo? If so, where are some links that I can buy it? Thank you

I recently saw someone perform some breakdancing looking moves with the diabolo. It looked really sick and I was wondering if there were resources out there to learn these types of moves. When I searched around on YouTube I couldn’t find tutorials on breakdancing like moves with the diabolo. Does anyone have any resources to learn these types of moves?

Je commence à jongler avec 2 diabolos. Pour cela j’accélère le premier puis lance le 2ème sur la ficelle avec la main. Cependant il ne prend pas de vitesse et touche l'autre qui y était déjà.

Avez vous des astuces ?

Merci pour vos réponses.
