Diabolo

A huge variety of tricks are possible using the sticks, string and various body parts. Multiple diabolos can be spun on a single string.

Diabolos come in different shapes and materials. Large/heavier diabolos tend to retain their momentum for longer, whereas small/light diabolos can be thrown higher and are faster to get spinning quickly. Rubber diabolo's are less prone to breakage, metal diabolos can be set on fire.

• grind - To balance the diabolo on a stick
• Wip - A method to accelerate the diabolo
• Sun - The diabolo is pushed round in a large circle.
