Sorry, no, I didn't pay that close attention. I am re-watching the video tonight.

There's been a trend in the diabolo scene to use the monobolo(not the Chinese ones) as more of a spin top once they get up to speed, mostly getting it spinning on the hand. I wouldn't have thought to use it as if it was a spin top in freestyle.

Marbled black and white? Like the Worlds logo?  :-\
Sorry, I didn't notice.

Did you notice the color of the medal ribbons? I chose it white and blue because of the ice and water of Iceland. I guess I missed the red of the volcanoes fire, which is on the flag.

Nice colors on the medal ribbons.  Everything about the medals looks cool!

So, ta0, you may not have recognized an old friend of yours.  The monobolo I used on stage was the one I bought from you.  It was also the one I used to get disqualified back in 2011.  The other two monobolos up there were just for show.  I was not going to use them.  Even if my bad boy monobolo rolled off stage I was going to get it and finish with it!!!

Ha! That's funny!
Maybe I owe you a refund.  :-\

A refund?  For a great story?  The biggest knot in freestyle history!  Heck no!!!  No refunds needed.  I have gotten way more than my money's worth with that little baby.......a dq, a knot, a third place in the diabolo championships, a lot of good practice time and so much more.
