The side saw mess is a method of doing the
Side to Side Saw with stopping and
reversing the direction of the devilstick. Start out doing a left hand
forward Side Saw. After the devilstick
has rolled over the left handstick, stop the devilstick spin with the
right handstick and start a reverse spin with the devilstick (left hand
reverse side saw). Roll it back over the left handstick, then
the right handstick, and on the next left handstick hit do a
Side to Side Saw transition. This should
put you in the position of doing a right hand forward side saw. Now you
just need to stop the forward spin with the left handstick, transition
into a reverse spin, and do another
Side to Side Saw transition.
The transitions from forward to reverse spins as you go from side to
side is a nice effect. It looks like the devilstick is rolling from one
side to the other.
