_VT_ klu al ha'technika Registered: 15/07/03 Loc: Clarksville,TN	I just got my diabolo today.I got a henrys circus. I've been trying to practice about half the day, but can't get through accelerateing the thing. Every time i start to get speed up, the diabolo spins around and the strings twist together. Someone please help. _________________________ Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them! -Albert Einstein-

_VT_ klu al ha'technika Registered: 15/07/03 Loc: Clarksville,TN	Ok, i figured how to not get it all spun around itself. Now i just have to wait until the 19th of this month to get my cast removed. I'm pretty sure not being able to move my wrist is inhibiting my progress past accelerations,throws, and basic trapeze moves. _________________________ Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them! -Albert Einstein-
