The bicycle is a variation of the throw and catch, similar to the orbit because the diabolo goes from the right of the string to left then gets thrown and caught close to the right stick. The bicycle also accelerates your diabolo. The big difference with the orbit is the diabolo isn’t moving on the […]

The alarm clock is a nice variation of the loop knot starting with a variation of the trapeze. This trick can be done on the left and on the right, but you will be using the alarm clock on the right more often if you are right-handed. It will also help you with integrals later,

The tipping start is the easiest vertax start in my opinion and when you’ve mastered it, you will never go back to the normal start (trick #88).

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.
