The first diabolo trick is often considered to be the "throw and catch". This simple maneuver involves tossing the diabolo into the air and catching it on the sticks.
Here's a breakdown of the steps:
- Preparation: Hold the sticks firmly, with the diabolo resting on the string.
- Throw: Lift the diabolo slightly and swing the sticks upwards, propelling the diabolo into the air.
- Catch: As the diabolo descends, lower the sticks and guide them underneath the diabolo, catching it on the string.
While the throw and catch might seem basic, it lays the foundation for more complex tricks. Mastering this fundamental skill is crucial for progressing to more advanced techniques.
