An orbit, as the name suggests, is a trick where the diabolo has a regular, repeating path around something (arm, leg, …). In this trick, the diabolo orbits around your leg and you perform the orbit with both sticks in one hand. The one handed leg orbit, like any orbits done clockwise for righties (or […]

An orbit, as the name suggests, is a trick where the diabolo has a regular, repeating path around something (arm, leg, …). In this trick, the diabolo orbits around both your arms. The 2 arms orbit, like any orbits done clockwise for righties (or anti-clockwise for lefties), gives spin to your diabolo. It’s a body

The rewrap mini-genocide is a great trick to include in a mini-genocide combo. Like any mini-genocide, this trick accelerates your diabolo when your pull the string up with your right hand, so you can theoretically do this trick forever. As always the tutorial is described for righties so if you are left handed switch right

The umbrella is a succession of suns alternating between clockwise and anticlockwise where you stop the sun before the diabolo comes back down. This trick slows down your diabolo, so make sure to have plenty of speed before starting the umbrella. You can start the umbrella from either a clockwise or anticlockwise sun, but to

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 flair is a mix between a sun and a grind. The grind part of the trick is easier than the basic grind as the string helps stabilize the diabolo and prevents it from excaping. As always the tutorial is described for righties so if you are left handed switch right and left in the

The leg stall is very easy to learn. You can do the leg stall in minutes if you already have mastered the prerequisite. It is also a useful trick to learn as it can help you start tricks like the mini-columns or ping-pong easier. As always the tutorial is described for righties so if you

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). Even though you can learn it before #88, I recommend having the normal vertax start first to build up a good foundation. As always the tutorial is described

The bridge is a cradle (ie a knot) with a grind and a stick release. It’s a pretty cool trick that is easy to learn. It is a nice crowd pleaser because if you have a lot of speed, your left hand will be free for a long time and you can wave to the
