That is awesome!!!  And this is another example of why this forum is so magical!  It is certainly more full of magic than Disney's kingdom (in my humble opinion).

This is a beatiful event, It makes me happy *sniff* tears of joy here folks

Roll starting is definitely the way to go with tops 5" or greater.  I patiently await what is to come from Jack and the Magic Bean Top :D

It's what you did at 0:12, I just call it a roll start instead of a snap start because... there is no snap.

I'd call that a lasso from a snap, a slow snap, but it was spinning in the air before it was on the string... a roll start wouldn't be in the air, it'd already be on the string, or do we call that something else?

Also, thats awesome! I like how it looks when it's just spinning in your hand...

Ahh rope burn... is the rope a braid or a twist? I always thought the braided ropes burn me worse than twists... ive got a pair of polyester gloves that work great for fighting rope burn (although they do have some melty spots on the pointer finger from joker choker... also, the pumping regens are your friends in staving off rope burn... but you probably already know that.


Thanks for the vid!

mmm indeed its braided, some line that came with a large tuoluo i got awhile back. i tried electrical taping my left pointers around the last knuckle and it went pretty well but it did get hot from the friction eventually  :'(. i shall try to find some gloves  ;)

I love the top. You should have a lot of fun with it. I would like to see it do all the basic tricks.  Like stairway to heaven wire walkers, and double body cork screw. This top and you can do these tricks. I hope you keep this top in the air. Take a shot at Tyler.
