There are many other possible starting or stopping static positions. Here are
some other positions to try to start or stop during different static tricks.
On your leg - Have one end of the devilstick rest on a handstick while the
other one rests on your leg.
On your foot - As above, but rest one end on your foot.
On your neck - Lean over and have one end of the devilstick end resting
on the back of your neck.
Crossed arm - This is the standard static position except that your
arms are crossed. This is the starting position for quite a few good
tricks like the Static Mess.
Behind your back - In this position the handsticks are pointing behind
you and the devilstick is resting on them.
Here are a few ways to get out of this position:
Roll the devilstick down the handsticks slightly, then toss it over your
head with both handsticks (back into static start position).
Give the devilstick a toss with one handstick and go into
Behind the Back.
Let the devilstick drop off the handsticks, then kick it with your heel
back over your head.
