The leg 180 is a throw 180 done with one leg over the string (like in the leg orbit). As in the throw 180, this trick adds speed to your diabolo when you are facing forward and slows your diabolo down when you’re facing backward, so starting with a decent amount of speed will help […]

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 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

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.

The back to front suns are two suns back to back, one going behind you and one in front of you. It’s a really nice upgrade to the basic sun. This trick gives spin to your diabolo, so you can use it as a fancy way to accelerate it. As always the tutorial is described

The darkside arm orbit is an arm orbit done in the darkside string position. Although you’re in darkside, because your arms are crossed, the trick still adds speed to your diabolo. As always the tutorial is described for righties so if you are left handed switch right and left in the step by step explanation.

The arm orbit backcatch is a cool variation of the arm orbit. This trick, like the arm orbit, will add speed to your diabolo so you can do it as long as you want or include it in the middle of a combo to accelerate your diabolo. As always the tutorial is described for righties

This trick is pretty easy to learn, especially if you already know the leg orbit. When you’ve mastered it, like any other orbits, this trick will accelerate your diabolo. The body orbit is a body move, so it helps if your string is on the longer side. As always the tutorial is described for righties

Scisors are tricks where you start in an orbit position (arm, leg or body) and instead of throwing the diabolo around the arm (or leg or body), you do a darkside catch to the left (for righties). This trick, like all scisors, is done on the left for righties and on the right for lefties
