Obviously, these are the links that I have used or enjoyed over the years. In particular, there are some tasty diabolo web links as well as some Japanese websites that not everyone will be able to read, but contain quality stuff nonetheless. Enjoy!

The Juggling Information Service My first juggling website and still a sentimental favorite.
The International Juggling Database If the JIS is old and busted, then the IJDB is the new hotness.
Rec.Juggling This is juggling at its wonky-ess. Anything goes.... (I use the Google version.)
Luke Burrage's Thing on the Net I first met Luke at the 2003 EJC, but I had enjoyed his website long before that meeting.
Juggling Animators I still use these to figure out siteswaps. A deep bow of respect to Ken Matsuoka and his original Juggle Master, which I still use, as well as to Jack Boyce, whose JuggleAnim and JuggleLab are my latest finds.
Diabolo by JiBe Quite simply, one of the two best diabolo websites on the Internet.
Art of Diabolo by Priam Here's the other one.
Diabolo Tricks Before Priam and JiBe, most of us worshipped this site. Jim-san, arigatou!
Diarhythm The first site to show us how far the Japanese had taken diabolo.
Multiple Diabolo Trash's website. It's in French, but it's worth it.
2 Diabolo Net Dave Barne's nice website that's got more than just diabolos, but when I was just starting out with 2 diabolos, I came here first.
Diabolo Kaitai Shinsho (New Diabolo How-to Manual)--This site has some clips of the latest in Japanese diabolo flava....there used to be more, but I don't know where they are now. Bummer.
Norbi's Site Norbi and I met at BJC 2004 and he impressed me with his diabolo skills. He's definitely up and coming and has a site chock full 'o videos.
Sean's Site Sean and I hung out at IJA 2004 in Buffalo. If you want the future of North American diabolo, go to his site. He's working hard...
Juggling Insanity Cool 3 ball clips and routine videos from the inventor of "drop" swap, Michael Karas.
The Cloon Brothers This site first inspired me to start bounce juggling seriously.
Mark Probst's Site Also known as Schani, I met him at EJC 2003 along with Thomas Dietz. Both are monster jugglers. If you go to Mark's site, you'll find some good videos of him doing 4 and 5 ball siteswaps.
Mark Thomas Online Mark has some great ball and club clips--I've learned some great siteswaps just watching his videos.
Peter Bone Next to Ben Beever, the best siteswapper in the business. He has some burly clips and ideas for tricks on his site.
Ryuhan's Cigar Box A nice look at what the Japanese are doing with cigar boxes from a Japan Juggling Federation competition finalist.
Sumita's Deep Juggling Movies If you want to see some REALLY funky cigar box and ball tricks from Japan, this is your site.
The Encyclopedia of Cigar Boxes Mark Weston recently put up a great resource for people just starting out. He's got good clips of THE standard cigar box tricks.
Kendama Flash Animations Check this site out if you want to see both fundamental and advanced Kendama tricks. Don't forget to click on the "2" in the bottom right hand corner for the second page.
Kendama.com The clearing house for Kendama on the Web. It's all in Japanese, but if you dig around, you will find video clips and images galore.
Super Performance Want to know what they're doing in Japan with Kendama these days? Here's where you find out. Prepare to feel small and insignificant.
Dube I get my cigar boxes and silicone balls here.
Renegade I used to get my balls, clubs and diabolos here--quality products for sure--I've just swtiched to other props recently.
Naranja THE Japanese prop vendor. If you want kendama or Japanese goodies, contact Jun-san. He speaks English and is quite the stud juggler in his own right.
Juggling Thingies John Nord in Texas makes the balls I currently use. Plastic filled so you can wash them and not get hassled by customs. Customer service is top notch.
Gballz Greg has got some great momentum going for his company. Quality product and highly responsive to customer suggestions. I used them in the 2005 IJA Cascade of Stars show.
Sport Juggling CompanyThe Heir Apparent to Fergie Bags. Doug Sayer's mom makes them and they are, if anything, even better than Fergies.
Henry's Axles by Jurgen Jurgen Kreisz put together these axles for the Henry's. They decrease the weight considerably more than usual, and are fantastic for hand grinds. I used them for a while with an eye to replacing the 4erlei axles, which I love, but cannot get my hands on anymore. I think Jurgen's got a winner here...
