Behind the Back
| Difficulty:
| 
|
Start by doing an Idle. When the devilstick leaves
your right handstick bring the handstick around your back to the other side.
You should have enough time while you hit the devilstick with your left
handstick to get your right handstick around for the hit. If not, you
could give the stick a full flip as it goes to the left side. Once the
right hand behind the back has hit the devilstick, you can either bring
it back around and go into an idle, or leave it back there and idle with
one hand behind your back.
One nice looking trick is doing continuous behind the backs. Once on the
left side, once on the right, etc.
Hint:
When bringing the handstick behind your back try to point it straight
down so that it will not catch on your body or clothes.

rollover.

people it may be easier to get the behind the back hit doing this.
