New Trick!!!!!

I've been using the site Diabolo Tricks for my home teaching, and after finding that I couldn't get my head round some tried some of the links and came across The Diabolo which has videos which you can slow down, reverse, (which is really cool when you can't quite see that slight split second move!) and came across a trick called "The cross (combo)" in the sticks chapter which looked pretty cool so thought I'd try it. kept getting so far with it but kept losing momentum at the end or not getting even the first step. So I explained the trick to Dan Mahers and asked him if he could see what I was doing wrong. He noticed that I was throwing the diabolo a little too high on the first movement so I just gave it a little nudge and soon found (once I managed to catch it on a regular basis!) that every following move flowed perfectly into the next. I'm quite proud of that!!! there are a few other tricks in the same chapter that incorporate some or all of the moves used in this trick so hopefully within a month or so I'll have mastered at the absolute minimum the sticks chapter!!! once all are mastered it'll be on to the two diabolo tricks....WAH!!!!

Oh and I also have two new diabolos (although technically it's three until my niece takes ownership of a little orange one Dan's mum bought for 99p!) one is a lovely white LED one and the other is a red one that Dan had in his mother's garage for the last 15 years or so!!!

So all in all I've had quite a productive and exciting few weeks!!!!
