From Vertax to Horizontal Diabolo The XYZ Terminology
Let’s delve into diabolo terminology and tackle a term that’s piqued the curiosity of many: ‘Vertax’ or ‘Vertical Axis Diabolo,’ also known as ‘Excalibur.’ Over the years, it’s been characterized as a style in which the diabolo is ‘turned vertically’ and consistently spun in an upright position. However, I suggest a shift in perspective that…

Flippers, a dynamic diabolo trick
A flipper, aleta in Catalan, is a short and precise hit on the axle of the diabolo. Usually it’s done with the stick, but the key is the clean contact on the axle and the immediate release. The stick strikes with a quick gesture, the diabolo reacts, and changes direction clearly. The name comes from…

Diabolo grinds Friction, sound and balance
Since I started with the diabolo, I’ve enjoyed grinding. I train a lot at skateparks, and there I’ve learned that when a grind comes out solid, you recognize it by the sound of the friction and by the body line, clean and stable. I like the glide, the clean noise when everything fits, and knowing…

Diabolo stick slaps Decorating the twos
A slap, “batzac” in Catalan, is spinning a stick with a sharp hit when it is already in the air after being thrown. These are short and dynamic tricks that usually work as an accent within a more complex movement. There are three clear moments. First, the throw. Second, the reading of the flight to…

Fluffy Sticks How the grip bleeds into the body
This research looks for vocabulary around the sticks, a look toward diversity: the same basic movements unfold through contact, bounce, drag, a sharper hit or a softer gesture, and each variation leaves a different texture on the diabolo and on the body. The video condenses these ideas into a short piece, edited from trials showing…

Slow spirals HMHW S01 E08
Exploration session with the diabolo at a slow tempo and gentle beat, where movement and sound share the table like in a conversation without hurry. The spirals stretch until they thin out, the circular trace drifts without closing, and the music, evolving at a calm pace, invites you to listen to the edges of the…

Sync Flippers HMHW S01 E07
Improvisation session with the diabolo where movement and sound meet as if sitting at the same table: the body looks for the pulse, the object responds with echoes that bounce and stumble. The delays change direction and force you to fine-tune your listening; when the wave returns, the arm is already preparing the next step…

Don Flamingo HMHW S01 E06
Session where the diabolo traces unusual orbits at a slow tempo and organic beat, like a train moving in slow motion. The rebounds are heard with space, and the consequences mark new routes: when the trajectory enters the dark side, the body modulates balance and the sound softens. The work unfolds with pistons that push…
-
Side by Side HMHW S01 E05
Recording of a routine focused on the repetition of lateral oscillations, with continuous movement from side to side of the body. The motion steps out of the axis and avoids the usual diabolo line, opening up exploration toward new fronts at very low speed. The changes are subtle, cumulative, never settling into a pattern. Comes…
