40 Upvotes

Happy to announce, with the help of some amazing people, we've upgraded the BegleriTricks site!

It has a brand new look and functions, and most importantly, it no longer takes a decade to load!

What's new:

- Uploading tricks is easier

- Have profiles where you can create playlists and add favourites

- Leaderboard for contributors

Please make an account, try it out, explore, and leave your feedback here or on Discord.

There are a handful of tutorials which are missing because creators privated or removed those videos. So we will need a community effort to update tricks on the site, and also get new tricks because Begleri has evolved!

We especially need to update the dealers list - so please inform us of current sellers!

Discussion Be careful guys

6 Upvotes

Please avoid Komboloi club in Athens they ship internationally which seemed appealing but they are scammers, I ordered from them and they sent me fake amber beads (copal) i thought id let the community know because there is a lot of bad rep around Greek komboloi and Begleri suppliers especially for the American market which is wrong and gives us a bad name.

It breaks my heart that I have to write this honestly but it has to be said I don’t want people to miss out on the opportunity of owning classic Greek beads or to be ordering them and receive bad products because of a few bad apples, especially since our American/Canadian brothers gave us such great products. I’m looking at you around square 😏

If anyone needs an unbiased recommendation or ten let me know 🙏

I've been prototyping new Chetki designs that highlight different aspects of Chetki play. I think Ive settled on the first design that feels really special and plays uniquely enough to share.

Are there any Chetki lovers here? Post a short video of your best Chetki skills and I'll send the top 3 videos one of these heavy heavy heavy phat paddled skeleton boiiis.

EDIT: lack of videos has given me a new strategy. I'll pick 3 comments at random this Friday at midnight and send those users the sets!

Hi guys when you do rolls do you keep your finger tucked in or bend the finger you are doing the roll on and keep others strait? Becouse i cant tell which is better and keep doing mix of bouth. Also i noticed i have guess bad habit of pinching the bead somtimes. Is it something to work on?

I’ve picked up quite a few begleri over the last several months and I feel like my game has kind of stalled out. I think it’s because I just keep cycling through sets. I see people talking about using the heavier sets to learn the fundamentals, but I’ve always liked the lighter ones. Decided to pick up my OG Titans (in Peacock) and commit to those until I improve my game significantly.

Picture Mi colección actual de skilltoys.

[ESP]

Llevo tiempo leyendo el sub desde la sombra, pero me apetecía compartir mi colección de skill toys.

Colecciono todo tipo de fidgets, pero mis favoritos siempre fueron los juegos de habilidad.

Siempre intento obtener los materiales y realizar yo mismo la composición final para que cumpla mis expectativas y necesidades.

No solo me gusta buscar un aspecto que me guste, también su textura, sonidos que producen... Etc

1, 2: Estos son mis dos begleris favoritos.

El primero usa unas cuentas de titanio de Key Unity.

El segundo son dos cuentas que conseguí por AliExpress.

Ambos tienen el peso ideal para realizar trucos, pero el segundo suele castigar mucho más a los nudillos al tener esos filamentos en su base.

Ambos son silenciosos excepto cuando chocan entre si las cuentas. El segundo es más ruidoso que el primero.

3, 4: Estos son mis dos chetki favoritos.

El tercero tiene cuentas pesadas en sus puntas, cuentas de madera y cuentas ligeras en su cuerpo. Es equilibrado y muy ligero para realizar trucos.

El cuarto es pesado y resistente en su conjunto. Al ser un poquito más largo permite realizar buenos trucos.

El tercero es silencioso, el cuarto produce un pequeño ruido metálico agradable de rebote entre las cuentas centrales.

5: Mi komboloi favorito. 33 cuentas pesadas, hilo y nudo brillan completamente en la oscuridad. Me encanta poder utilizarlo en completa oscuridad y el sonido que producen las cuentas en sus diferentes modos de juego. Estoy enamorado de mi komboloi.

6: Chetki con cuentas que brillan en la oscuridad. El centro del cuerpo es de madera.

Al ser más ligero en su parte central y pesado en sus terminaciones permite hacer finger roll de forma más sencilla.

Produce un sonido mixto entre plástico y metal muy agradable.

7: Un chetki experimental de paracord. Bonito, pero en su práctica es muy tenso en su cuerpo, lo que dificulta poder utilizarlo con regularidad.

El paracord es muy duro y con el uso continuo resiente la piel de las manos. No lo utilizo...

8: Aquí me puse creativo. Chetki con forma de raspa de pescado.

Cuentas metálicas pesadas en sus extremos y cuentas metálicas ligeras separadoras en su cuerpo.

Tanto las cuentas transparentes y el paracord brillan en la oscuridad.

El patrón del cuerpo emula las propias espinas y en su uso es bastante escurridizo, realmente parece que tienes un pescado entre las manos.

9: Pulsera begleri con 33 cuentas metálicas planas. Sus extremos son magnéticos, permitiendo unirlos y usarlo de pulsera.

Suelo llevarlo y utilizarlo a diario cuando no tengo otro skill toy a mano.

10: Chugleri (XD). Me apareció un tutorial por YouTube y me decidí a probarlo. Está interesante, me gusta hacer finger rolls aprovechando su parte central y el peso de los mismos nunchakos.

11: Chetki con cuentas de madera en su cuerpo, cuentas metálicas ligeras separadoras y pesadas en sus extremos. El sonido que produce al utilizarlo es delicioso.

12: Candy chetki. Aquí también me puse creativo. Las cuentas de plástico brillan en la oscuridad y su parte central contiene una cuenta metálica pesada al igual que las de sus extremos.

Al ser la parte central más pesada es la contraparte del chetki número 6, permitiendo centrar el peso y practicar finger rolls de forma más sencilla.

13: Mi primer begleri, yo creo que casi todos hemos empezado por aquí.

14: Begleri super ligero. Paracord y cuentas de plástico de estrellas brillan en la oscuridad. Solamente una cuenta metálica pesada en sus extremos.

15: Begleri super ligero con cuentas de madera.

16: Begleri pesado hexnut con tres tuercas en cada extremo. Al pesar tanto permite hacer trucos con más lentitud para aprender las dinámicas. Además fortalece los dedos y luego al practicar con otro más ligero es más sencillo hacer trucos.

17: Begleri estándar con una cuenta pesada y una tuerca en cada extremo. El paracord brilla en la oscuridad. Este es mi begleri de batalla el cual no me importa si lo pierdo.

Cada x días termino deshaciendo uno y creando uno nuevo, intentando innovar... Y satisfacer mis manos y mente inquieta.

Si os gustaría ver alguno de ellos en acción, hacérmelo saber.

Un placer leeros siempre y compartir aficiones con vosotros, saludos a todos!

[ENG] (Utilizaré el traductor de Google, lo siento! 😅I'll use Google Translate, sorry! 😅)

I've been lurking on this sub for a while, but I wanted to share my skill toy collection.

I collect all kinds of fidgets, but skill toys have always been my favorites.

I always try to source the materials and create the final composition myself so that it meets my expectations and needs.

I don't just like to look for something I like, but also its texture, the sounds it makes, etc.

1, 2: These are my two favorite begleris.

The first uses titanium beads from Key Unity.

The second uses two beads I got from AliExpress.

Both have the ideal weight for performing tricks, but the second one tends to be much harder on the knuckles because of the filaments at its base.

Both are quiet except when the beads collide. The second one is noisier than the first.

3, 4: These are my two favorite chetkies.

The third one has heavy beads at the ends, wooden beads, and light beads in its body. It's balanced and very light for performing tricks.

The fourth one is heavy and sturdy overall. Being slightly longer allows for good tricks.

The third one is silent; the fourth produces a pleasant, subtle metallic bouncing sound between the center beads.

5: My favorite komboloi. 33 heavy beads, thread, and knot glow completely in the dark. I love being able to use it in total darkness and the sound the beads make in its different playing modes. I'm in love with my komboloi.

6: Chetki with glow-in-the-dark beads. The center of the body is made of wood.

Being lighter in the center and heavier at the ends makes finger rolls easier.

It produces a very pleasant mixed sound between plastic and metal.

7: An experimental paracord chetki. Beautiful, but in practice, it's very taut, making it difficult to use regularly.

The paracord is very stiff, and with continuous use, it irritates the skin on my hands. I don't use it...

8: Here I got creative. A Chetki shaped like a fishbone.

Heavy metal beads at the ends and light metal spacer beads along the body.

Both the clear beads and the paracord glow in the dark.

The body pattern mimics the bones themselves, and it's quite slippery when used; it really feels like you have a fish in your hands.

9: A Begleri bracelet with 33 flat metal beads. The ends are magnetic, allowing you to connect them and wear it as a bracelet.

I usually wear and use it daily when I don't have another skill toy handy.

10: Chugleri (XD). I came across a tutorial on YouTube and decided to try it. It's interesting; I like doing finger rolls using its central part and the weight of the nunchucks.

11: A Chetki with wooden beads along its body, light metal spacer beads, and heavy beads at the ends. The sound it makes when used is delightful.

12: Candy Chetki. I got creative here too. The plastic beads glow in the dark, and the center contains a heavy metal bead, as do the beads at the ends.

Because the center is heavier, it's the counterpart to Chetki #6, allowing you to center your weight and practice finger rolls more easily.

13: My first Begleri. I think almost everyone started with this one.

14: Super Light Begleri. Paracord and glow-in-the-dark plastic star beads. Just one heavy metal bead at each end.

15: Super Light Begleri with wooden beads.

16: Heavy Hexnut Begleri with three nuts at each end. Its weight allows you to practice tricks more slowly to learn the dynamics. It also strengthens your fingers, and then practicing with a lighter one makes it easier to perform tricks.

17: Standard Begleri with a heavy bead and a nut at each end. The paracord glows in the dark. This is my trusty old begleri, and I don't mind losing it.

Every few days I end up unraveling one and creating a new one, trying to innovate... and satisfy my restless hands and mind.

If you'd like to see any of them in action, let me know.

It's always a pleasure reading your posts and sharing hobbies with you. Greetings to all!

Other Skill Toys WTB a Worry Bricks set

1 Upvotes

Hello, I know this is a Begleri page, but I`m going INSANE trying to find this skill toy, so pls, help me!

I’ve followed the Worry bricks project since the beginning and fell in love with this skill toy from the first moment.

l’m from Brazil and unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to buy one because it was too expensive for my country’s currency (not to mention the shipping taxes and fees). However, they are now out of production for a long time and probably won’t be manufactured again, and the idea of ​​not having one makes me very sad.

So I would like to ask if anyone are interested in selling/donate me a set... I would be very grateful and happy. I even tried to talk to the project creator, but he replied that he didn’t have any left and suggested I try talking to the community... Anyway, please let me know if you are interested in selling a pair.

PS: A friend of mine is in the US as a tourist; I would have it shipped to him, and then pick it up from him when he returns to Brazil.

Came across this glow paracord string and it has not disappointed. Too bad I didn’t know about monkey fists or begleris back in my true Dubstep days.

But, it is still pretty fun. I apologize for the volume and the quality. Couldn’t figure how to turn the video volume down, and it is difficult to record yourself in the dark, for myself that is.

Discussion Looking for drills for beginners

Post image
20 Upvotes

Hey all!

For context, I am a juggler, contact juggler, and poi spinner. I'm fairly familiar with weight manipulation, planes, etc. I'm on the hunt for drills you can do as a beginner to set tricks on stone. Pics are just what I've made, the only way I've found to carry them, and a set I bought forever ago before I actually got into this.

With learning my other skills, I developed drills, and combos to help solidify motions and make them easier to set into muscle memory. I'm having a hell of a time landing the finger rolls for some reason, and I thought you all might have some good drills that I could run through! Tutorials for tricks themselves are abound. But drills I'm having a harder time hunting down.

Finger rolls are not the only ones I'm working on, so any drills are welcome! I've figured out the level 1 stuff, and a few of the level 2 from Begleritricks.com but I hesitate to move faster than the progression. Gap transfers are where I decided to hold until I can land the rolls better, and hopefully build into the ladder.

I made a few different lengths and weights to try out thinking my issue was length. But alas, it is skill.

Videos are wonderful, but really any starting point would be a godsend!

I love to tinker too much. The old case design was fine, but I opened my 3d print program and designed a new one. I love the way it turned out. Especially the screw driver stow away on the back.

The beads shown here are my TipTops. I just put a few different varieties in my shop for those interested. Thanks for watching!

I almost forgot to mention that this community is so awesome. Even as a seller for what seems like a century now, my favorite posts are the ones where people come up with the cheapest begleri possible and have hours of fun with them. That's what makes this hobby so great. The entry point can cost you a few dollars, and you could stop there and be set for life if you wanted. What other hobbies can you do that?!
