Angry_Gumball Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 ^Yea, those things... I finally learned to toss it in the air and successfully catch it. My brother also got one (We bought Duncan Phoenix's, I like the Duncan brand, they've always made great yo-yos) so him and I are kind of learning together on this via Youtube and stuff. What kind do you have, just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewheeled999 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I've got a yellow Higgins Brothers one, I've had it for something like three or four years now. It's gotten pretty scratched up from throwing it like 30 feet in the air and having it land on cement, which is expected, but it still works like a charm. Â I think I'm gonna go online and look for some new tricks to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, from 30-foot launches and only catching it 50% of the time...all out in the street. I thought my brother was going to land it on the telephone wires...which would have been impressive!

amyzoo Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 So today I saw a mom smash her kid into a door with her shopping cart. Â Little boy, probably 3, started running towards the exit door. She wanted to stop him from running outside so she chased him pushing her shopping cart. When he got to the automatic door it didn't open because he was pretty small, and she didn't stop in time, smashing him into door so hard the doors popped open. I had to turn away so wouldn't laugh in front of her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Gumball Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 ^Yes, definitely amazing. Â I'm now tempted...is it worth starting a Diabolo thread on here? Or will it probably end up dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewheeled999 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Maybe a general juggling thread would be more appropriate, diabolo-ing is just a single division of that general hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebl Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 ^ Poi is a paste made from the root of the taro tree. Hawaiians have it as part of their diet. But that isn't important right now... Â Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwm1444 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just checked my Libsyn stats and discovered every episode of my podcast so far was downloaded by someone in Japan (in the Hyogo prefecture, so pretty far from the epicentre) in the last two days.
