Hi guys, maybe you have already discuss this, but there was a version of America's got talent in Colombia, and a lot of "tromperos" showed up, just do a search in youtube for "Colombia tiene talento trompos" and you will find a lots of videos of the show, here are some of them:

Traditional Colombian Trompo:


Two guys, circus style:



Theatrical performance using a plastic top:

Some additional videos are found in this earlier thread =new talent

Thanks for the new ones.

In this one we see for the first time evidence of bearings in a traditional Colombian style top.   Plus a bonus tiny top.

I just now had time to watch the videos.  They are all worth watching.

We have seen quite a bit of Felipe Gaspar.  I bet I will have him on the Figaro gallery one day (Colombia is in my future, but it would be great if he could also come here).

The two guys seem to belong to the Juegos de la Calle team of Enrique Leal.  And yes, their show is reminiscent to the circus Los Valentinos show we have seen before.

Jim, what do you think of John Lopez freestyle? That was a lot of dancing and choreography! I believe you have been asking for some of this on our freestyles.

On Alex Maldonado's show he appears to be using bearing tops, both on the tip and the crown, but I am not 100% sure.  We have seen some amazing grinds before using fixed axles.  What do you all think?

 

Thanks for the videos!

I love the looks of the tops. And great top throwing. I am still looking for Colombian string.
