The elevator
Topic: Diabolo tricks and moves.

Hi readers, it's Joe again. No surprises, eh?

Anyway, this time I'm going to teach you how to do a cool new trick called, The elevator.

The objective of the trick is to make the diabolo climb the string, by creating tension in the looped string. So this is how you do it.

 First get a lot of speed up. Now, loop the diabolo (if not already looped).

Now, bend your legs ever so slightly and then get ready to point the right stick's string end towards the diabolo's axle.

Hold your left stick above the diabolo, horizontally. Now do what i said to do with the right stick.

Now create more tension slowly, until the diabolo starts to climb, after a while of practising you should begin to notice where the point of "climbing tension" is.

The following movies will only play on "Quicktime" you  can download this for free on the internet.

Keep practising,

Joe. 

Beginner tricks
Topic: Diabolo tricks and moves.

Some beginner tricks this time. Suns and orbits.

 

A sun is when the diabolo circles around both sticks, in a clock-like fashion.

A clock-wise sun.

Swing the diabolo to the left over both sticks, now, the string should be crossed over. To undo this, do an anti-clock-wise swing back to the right.

 An orbit is where the diabolo jumps from left to right on the string.

An open orbit

Jump the diabolo, slightly tossing it over to the right, catch it with the right half of the string. Repeat.

I'll add a video as soon as my producer/director/cameraman/brother can be bothered to film.

 Keep practising.
