This trick is part of the Diabolo Trick Roadmap (available on Amazon) which is a skill tree (containing 337 tricks from 1 to 3 diabolos) designed to give you a personalized list of tricks you’re ready to learn, taking into account the tricks you already know.
Once you are comfortable with the infinite suicide, the infinite suicide 180 (also called 360 because you have to turn 180° twice to come back to the infinite suicide position) is pretty quick to learn. It looks harder than it is and when you get the timing right, you have plenty of time to turn.
This trick continues to speed up your diabolo when you’re facing back, so you can take your time before steps 2 and 4.
As always the tutorial is described for righties so if you are left handed switch right and left in the step by step explanation.
Prerequisites
Step By Step Explanation
1. Do the infinite suicide. Try to keep the diabolo as close to the right stick to slow down the trick.
2. When the flying stick is at 6 o’clock (ie pointing straight down), go around the diabolo and stick from the left. Your feet are drawing a semi-circle clockwise on the floor and you are now facing backwards.
3. Continue the infinite suicide motion with your right arm. When you’re facing back, your arm is moving clockwise (from your point of view) instead of anti-clockwise when you face front.
4. When the flying stick is at 6 o’clock (ie pointing straight down), go around the diabolo and stick from the left. Your feet are drawing a semi-circle clockwise on the floor and you are now facing forwards again. This is the exact same movement as in step 2.
5. You are in the normal infinite suicide, so you can now exit the infinite suicide or carry on with the same or another infinite suicide variation.
