Is the dice bead also a sort of begleri or just tactile? Also can you recommend begleri communities? I tried to learn awhile ago and not much traction on my own. Not much on YouTube from what I saw.
The dice bead is just tactile. It could be used as a begleri if I had another one and set them up as one, but it would probably be too heavy - at least for my play preference
On Lemmy, sadly there's not too many yet. I'm personally working on getting [email protected] (general skill toy and fidget community) and [email protected] going, and there's also [email protected]
I mainly participate on Instagram, since that seems to have the most contributors begleri community wise. I can link awesome people to follow, if you're on instagram
There's a few Discord servers that are active too, a begleri one and an Aroundaquare one. I can get you links later on if you like
In terms of resources for learning:
I got my first set in 2018, and stopped for a bit because I wasn't really getting anywhere with it. For me what made a difference when I picked it back up again in 2021 was trying different physical combinations: bead shapes and weights, cord diameters, joiner lengths, etc. as well as finding a few clips online and downloading it to my phone so I could put it in slow motion and try to replicate it. It's also a lot easier to learn if you're just sat on a bed or carpeted floor or something similar. With dropping it, you're just right there it's a lot less frustrating when you don't have to crouch down every two seconds to try again and it's a lot easier to adjust the timing and whatnot when the attempts are closer together - I think I learnt at least half of the tricks I know being sat outside on the grass during a nice day. I would also recommend just having a set with you and doing rebounds when you have a chance, because getting a feel for how the momentum is carried will really help with getting the timing for other tricks
Hopefully some of this is helpful!
Thanks for the detailed reply! I’m familiar with Musclebones and Aroundsquare, but the others I’ll have to dig into. I made my own set awhile back with some hex nuts, I wanted to level it up with some nicer beads but didn’t find anything locally. I’ll probably wind up ordering some kind of bead online. I have trouble consciensing buying something that seems like it could be made so easily haha. I’ll check out those communities too. Thanks again!
Yeah a lot of people love their homemade ones, and I've made a few myself, but at least for me the beads specifically designed for begleri are worlds better. I feel like it's easier to make a really nice set when you already know what your bead shape, size, and weight preference is - if that makes sense
Do you have any recommended vendors that won’t break the bank? (Looking at you, Aroundsquare)
