Longest Stick Grind

Group Size: 2 to 40 players
Difficulty: mittel
Material: Diabolo and handsticks, stopwatch
Duration: approx. 5-15 minutes

Game Description¶

Players grind the diabolo on a handstick and try to keep the grind running as long as possible. Time starts when the grind is established and stops when it falls off or loses control.

Everyone should use the same axis type (either free or fixed). For this type of game, a fixed axis is preferable - as free axis are bound to rotate seemingly forever.

Variations¶

Allow moving grinds or trick changes in advanced rounds.

Safety Notes¶

Keep the playing area clear and define the limits before the round starts. For contact games, target props rather than bodies. For throwing, riding, balancing or acrobatic games, leave enough space for failed attempts and stop the round if the group starts taking unsafe risks.
