nice hair man =P

[paintballvice17]

hey srry for this stupid question but are blu diomands better then aqua for begginers

[joebr0]

@paintballvice17 - Aquas have smoother play, blue diamonds have lights. You choose! (actually I reckon aquas would be better)

[lprocker189]

did anyone have a problem with the aquas liquid dissapearin for no reason and no sign of leaks??? i liked the aquas up to that point

[joebr0]

@lprocker189, yeah the liquid evaporates gradually through the pvc skin. You can help slow this down by not leaving them in the sun etc. The new blue aquas come with a thin coating of some weird oily stuff that seems to help prevent this, but they still seem to be losing water, albeit very slowly. Aquas are still very playable even when dry, most of my sets are less than half full but I still use em. You can refill them with any color you like, use a syringe to inject liquid, then glue the hole.

[Chloreta]

ok, sorry, for my "stupid" question, but what is the difference between aqua and simple saturn? which one begginer should buy?:)

[joebr0]

@Chloreta Aqua is a bit bigger and is filled with water, best feel and smoothest play for beginners. Saturns light up with LEDs, they can't be beaten in the dark! Glo Aqua are great in UV too.

[CameronKerzic]

sick stuff!..... how long did it take you to grow out your hair it looks crazy !

[drangra]

Name of music?

[SHAMIRMCLEISH]

is your string longer than the one aquas come with or is that how long they are when you buy them...just curious...wanna pick up a set of aquas and try em out

[joebr0]

Hello, sorry for the slow reply.

When held out straight, it is about as long as a normal set of plus or saturn astrojax, it can look longer when the loop is opened. It feels like there's a lot more string in play.

Aquas Nice

[arlrir]

umm mayt i thnk wot ur foin her is awesome and everythin but ... why not use the time ur practisin this ball thing to like ... find a girlfriend ... or mybe just get a haircut ... either one realli ... just a surgestion

[IAM18ANDOLDER]

Maybe if you could spell we could take your comment into some consideration. His choice of hair length/style is totally his and the fact that he has hand eye co-ordination skills that are higher than most average people is pretty awesome as well.

O,M,F,G.

you are now Mr.Insanity

w-o-w

[1NG4M3]

thanks..its a bit strange to do jax like this but you have different tricks that you wouldnt do with a regular rope

[1NG4M3]

cool. how have you melted them together?with a normal flame?

[joebr0]

Yes, a candle is ideal, or use a lighter with the button taped down. Hold the string next to the blue part of the flame, easier to get an even temp gradient that way. Leave your string long in case the first attempt doesn't work.

[InfinitiM13]

What AJs do you prefer? I might be getting a new set (my V-maxes and Saturns suck) on sunday, so what is better? Plus or Aqua? I've been leaning towards Aqua.

Thanks!

MK

[joebr0]

:-) i've been using imagine edition v-max and saturn the most, recently. Blue diamonds with flouro painted or uv shells.

Aquas are my fave though.

[InfinitiM13]

I just found out that the glows are $20 when the other two are $15. Now I'm really torn!

[louiedaparrot]

how did you connect the string like on the video the thingy and the thing....

[jammerockAJer]

aqua glows all the way for me

[Shamengoamusic]

good music... great rasta man! progressive psy foreva'...the guy is very good ball handler.. :)

[1NG4M3]

your astrojax rope its different.how have you done it?

[joebr0]

The string is a loop, a piece of string twice normal length with the ends melted together.

The string goes through the middle ball, through an end ball, back through the middle ball, through the other end ball, then joins to the beginning.

[vultovids]

Great video! How long have you been playing?

[joebr0]

Since early 2003. Saturn strobe mode got me hooked.

[louiedaparrot]

dont you get knotts in thoes things??

[louiedaparrot]

man ur ar the one i need to surpass i have to do it to become as good as you, god i have no idea how you do those moves????

[shinysocks12]

[Lovebattallion]

Sweet work! Inspiring to say the least.

[smrtspr]

[astrojaxingsm]

Joebro you absolutly rock can you do some vids on some of your string tricks cause they are awesome

[flyingskwyd]

[dylad]

.oO HOLY SHIT! DUDE THE WAY YOU HANDLE THOSE THINGS MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I"M ON DRUGS!!!! AND I"M STRAIGHT EDGE!

[mcookrowe]

i LOVE your string tricks! :O

[kristianscottswank]

amazing but it think its time for a good ol' hair cut =P

[Nya010]

Hmm..and how the string is fixed?

[yoyoguy1994]

howcome ive never seen string for ajs that color. is that the thick string for the astrojax

[joebr0]

That is string I found at a local sewing supply shop, it's pretty much the same thickness as regular saturn/v-max string although a little coarser. Remember you'll need a length just over twice as long as usual to keep the same string scale.

[yoyoguy1994]

oooh. i understand what your sayin because ive made yoyo string before. how long does it last?

[zabuzamomoshi]

Dude,your the best, no one is better than you!

[Nya010]

Crazyyyyy stuff, teach me xD

[rainshelekhov]

perfect

[fivefoflow]

How to you loop the string on this? Dide you just tie it somewhere?

[joebr0]

The ends of the loop are melted together, using a lighter. I fray the ends and try to overlap them a few mm before melting, then once joined I soften the lump and roll it between a thumb and finger to smooth it out.

A knot will work but will also stop anything from flowing down that part of the string unless you use very thin string.

[fivefoflow]

Clever. Thanks, I might try that sometime. My shiva's arrived yesterday.

[fivefoflow]

Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is hampsterkeyjax from the forums. I hope you remember me, I've got your AIM, you should get on moore.

[fivefoflow]

It's brilliant. Like controlled chaos.

[jasim99]

Looped aquas.. Nutty! So many shapes, triangles, circles, I think I even saw a rhombus in there. It's geometric astrojaxing!

[joebr0]

Yes, that's right! Plenty of triangles but they don't present the danger of knots like with a normal aj. There are lots of 3D shapes too, bent kites and twisty hourglasses. Amazingly enough knots don't occur any more than with your usual aj.

[jasim99]

yeah man, I checked it again and really like the stuff after 5:30, good luck in the contest, man.

[CizreK]

I cant believe you can pull off the

"Swing hair to back"

Your dreads are long
