@TheVoidTLMB fun! Thanks for sharing that!
I coined the term "solid loop" or "loop diabolo" back in the day, which I think is still a common term today (even though the style never really caught on). Small world. Thanks again for sharing that.

@docpop I don’t think I’ve seen that before. V neat playground/mirrors/style/skill. I read the desc, & now I wonder what I saw in the 90s.

@docpop This was more or less the vid I was thinking of. Saw him in '04 at EJC, & 05 @ French Yo-Yo Nats. https://juggling.tv/3559

@TheVoidTLMB yeah, Yukki was amazing (I believe he passed away 11 years ago, sadly). He came from the yo-yo community too, as you can probably tell by his style, and was one of the first folks to really push loop diabolo into a more fleshed out style. Here's another video of him doing his loop routine https://youtu.be/3IiNtT49IJE?si=2jo3v7ftFq1FwmC8
And some cool footage of his yo-yo routine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt2sxGCSHKE
