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.

haha rory, that video was awesome! A little too "routiney" for me, but still he does his infinite suicides SOOO fast with all those damn genocides, it's amazing! Hard shit.

I haven't spun since shredmonton. Have you done anything new Rory?

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

Chim-Chim · Post by **Chim-Chim** » 01 Aug 2006 10:44

ever try a suicide where you let go of both sticks at the same time?

habitat · Post by **habitat** » 02 Aug 2006 01:19

I actually hit that the other day. It's sweet. I want infinite suicide>genocide !!!!

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.

Down at Spokane Hempfest, a guy was shooting a documentary and filmed me hitting a run with some magic knot throws, double suicide, and then genocide>seal
