Hi Lucas,
Yes, its Duncan from D.ca. I knew this video was coming out soon because of the votw submissions, so I had to wait very impatiently to post it here.
I'd been trying a similar body roll, but from vertax with a high speed diabolo. Didn't work very well.

It'd be awesome!
A chestroll on Vertax... hahahahah but it's probably hard to control the diabolo spinning...
I got a pretty simple shoulder to hand roll. It looks cool!

Footcatches with diabolos are hard!

Hey robbydebry
here's the roll I was talking about, it's simple but I think it looks cool.



I'll try to have more ideas and record them...

Nice! I've been wanting to get started with diabolo a little more; Finally got to try some a couple weeks ago for the first time and have to say it was rather fun.

What "stage" would you say you're at? Just getting started or far enough along that you've begun practicing some tricks?

The most newfangled stage that I can be at...I was trying to learn that and balloon animals at the same time between our shows, so only got in about ten or fifteen minutes of it. Only got down the basic spinning and balancing, and tried some throws and catches. It's definitely something I want to invest in when I can!

Keep at it :). Its a fun prop that has a lot of interesting variations being tried out these days, particularly if you like contact.

E.g. 3:31 - 5:54:
