This trick is part of the Diabolo Trick Roadmap (also 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.
This start is fairly easy to learn and very useful, especially if you don’t have access to a level floor to do the rolling start. It also unlocks some pretty cool tricks.
With the spin start, you have 3 options to choose from, so try out all three hand positions to find the one that suits you best.
