hay i have been teaching circus skills since i was 12 so this is what i think
1.you need too work on getting yourself right back into it after a whip
2.try not to move about or reach out so much
3.u need too work on making you routine flow abit better you take too long between tricks
inpossble needs abit of work too
all esle seems cool the vid too
hope this helps man and do not take this in the wronge why
cheers es

i just got back into it so im sorta rusty.
yea i know for the whip, but i juest learned it about 3 days ago so i need to practise it some more
when you say impossible?
is it when i let go of the stick and make it spin around in a big circle? or the one when i make a smaller circle while letting go.
^^ i agree they need some work
Il try to combine tricks faster, but ive got one combo going quite well i find. The one where i catch it from above then throw it to catch under the legs to grind.
thanks for the tips!!
I really appreciate it since ive only taught myself and this is about the first time i see what im doing.
Also each trick is cut in, you do know that?
thanks again!
Il try and make a good video with a juggler but i need to meet up with him and i dont have much time now...

Hard to do stuff of yourself when your the only camraman but it is still posile to make a good vid from a standing cam... your got a nice set up in the back garden there... Try setin up the cam in different places. low angle high angles from the bank behind you, to the side, far away, up close etc.. and do all your tricks / routein through a few times for each shot.
May seem like a lot of work but when you put it all together cuttting from one shot to another from each trick/sequence the results look fantastic. I love double/tripple angle sequences!
(just make sure your standing in the same spot each time... mark the floor or somthing.!)

my string is starting to thread and is getting sticky, my diabolo is fine but my sticks are bent.

two diabolos! new set of sticks (maybe even times 2) and a roll of string.
