The answer is yes.

There's a street performer who regularly visits Brisbane who's damn awesome at Diablo.
His name is Terry (don't know his last name)

His brother is one of the best unicyclests in the world (aparantly).

Talanted family.

I can hit fairly consistantly now: double cradle, suicide attempt (i'm having trouble finding room to do these), and most of the tricks you taught me.

I also hit 3 whip catches in one string, but it's still inconsistant. I figured out all the different ways to catch it though :)

learned some new sun combos today. The most I can get is 3 consectutive suns. It's super fun. Also I learned a really fast acceleration with a wrap. It tends to get scary though after a while.


EDIT: And by consecutive suns, I mean suns that leave the the string open.

I love the Silver Creek Juggling Videos.
I spin a little. Might post a video sometime soon.
Everybody at my Boarding School did it.
I want to learn boxjuggling. It looks so cool.
