Hi guys,
as you probably know, me and Jakub are running czech website about tops, we also introduced eshop with S8, Duncan and Energia tops a month ago. Our new project is called Trick of the week and I think that it speaks for itself. Every week we are going to upload a video of some interesting trick or variation on our YouTube channel. You can expect POV videos with slow-motion footage at the end. This topic is here just to let you know about new tricks, but feel free to comment them or let us know about something new to try.
Here is a list of all the videos: https://youtu.be/w1tnTlGkqBc?list=PL-XAs_P0_hwWjdBKNyDHQh3DbdbNZpSA3

First trick is Jakub's variation of Jorge's Jump Rope, enjoy!
https://youtu.be/w1tnTlGkqBc

ooo thats exciting news, its quite an opportunity to see tricks pov from such skilled players as you guys eh!!!
-
The Trick of the Week is a wonderful project!
I am sure it will be motivational for many players.
It will be fun to try to reproduce them every week! :)
Thanks!
-
Very nice!
An ambitious project.
A second camera angle would be cool too.
-
excellent news!!
we need e-shops for spintops!!
looking forward to your arrival in France in 2 weeks !! :D :D

I tried to do the cross jump today. I thought it was going to be easier, but it was difficult to get out the habit of the normal jump.
I was getting close when the string caught one of my shoulders and made the top swing onto my lower back: ouch! :'( I had to quit after that.
Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. Or perhaps I'll just practice the Miguelanchelo patch tricks: it is safer! :P
-
Great that you've tried the trick ;) Sorry for your back, I hope it's getting better.
Other jump rope tricks should be possible too, like backwards toad:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkdYhklYi84
or backwards EB:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t3H5ft7aas
About Miguelanchelo patch, I asked him to send me better quality of video then I crop it and turn 90° some tricks. Now it's much easier to learn tricks from (especially if you download video and play it frame by frame). I've sent him also video file so he can upload it on his youtube channel. Now it's just on our spintop.cz youtube channel as private video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fBVRIkiPD0
-
Those jumps look pretty crazy to combine with a top! ::)
You had a great idea to improve the quality of Miguelanchelo's patch video. I was thinking in doing the same but I have been lazy. However, when I watched the video you linked to, the sections with the tricks rotated 90 degrees are shown black. Can you see them on youtube?

Aaaa, you're right, probably some rendering mistake. I'll have to repair it.

New week is here and with it also a new trick. I added a little whip at the end of Chris's Wrist Wrap Whip, it's not as easy as it may look :D

New TOTW is out! This one is Jakub's variation of World Hitchhiker combined with poi tricks.
https://youtu.be/qFPRDL0YYGU
-
holy hell :o
-
Monday mornings are nicer when there is a trick of the week to watch! :)
I would describe it as a variation of boleadoras butterfly plus a pirouette ending on a (Mark Hayward's) suicide. Definitely a trick to do with lots of space around!
The slow motion POV is great!
Thanks!
-
Wild! That is a trick that would most definitely get the judges flinching or running for cover!!!
Nice job.
-
So here is number four. I haven't got enough time, to share it with you yesterday, but it was on YouTube, so maybe some of you have seen it already.
PS: I forgot to change a number in the beginning of video, sorry.
https://youtu.be/PUSU-L_SDqQ
-
Thanks again!
When we had compulsories, one-hand-lasso was my less reliable trick. Add a pirouette and it is a race to see if I can get it before becoming dizzy! :P
PS: I forgot to change a number in the beginning of video, sorry.
You can superpose a note with the correct number using the youtube editing tool.

excelent!!! i need to work on this one, great view of the string placement. i dont know how your managing not to get a copyright strike but i tell you sir those last 2 tracks brought back good memories for me ;D
-

Yes, I'm planning to do that as soon as I get home. We are in Czech Republic for an hour now, but still not home. :)
I want to work on one hand lassos too, I sometimes get few, but it's not ready for stage.
About the music. I'm sure it's blocked in some countries (only without sound) and/or on mobile devices somewhere. But for now, since I don't have any source of open-source music, I would like to use anything I like across all genres, so everyone enjoyed them.
And thank you all for the support, we have already many of them prepared for next two months at least. And a little sneak-peak, next Monday I'll post one from France, people from festival know, that I stayed up for a long time to get it.
-

https://youtu.be/BUde8SE92R4
I am inspired to see you have put the two together.
You're absolutely right, it's harder than it looks, and ta0 is right, you make it look pretty darn easy.
The reverse WWW is what I was trying to to with "Bird Go!"
https://youtu.be/75z1IlkA42A
-
Chris: The hardest part I think is not catching the top, but getting the loop of string moving other direction. I actually let one wrap of string slip down my hand during the trick, so it's not that perfect. I've never seen that Bird Go! trick, next thing to learn, you are master of these whips Mr. Neff! And happy birthday!
And it's Monday and that means new Trick of the week is out! I wanted to share with you different one, but the camera angle on it was quite bad, so I have to film it again later, now the weather in Czech Republic is cold and rainy, not good for outdoor play at all >:(. But this one is also from Loon-Plage festival. I inspired with Trompillo's Finger Nest and added a simple "spiral" (system of this forum won't let me use "c*rl", with 'u' instead of star, but I'm sure, it's the right name of this trick). Enjoy!

GREAT TRICK
TOTALLY IN THE LOON MOOD

Another nice but very challenging trick!
Sunday I completed my first TOTW: boomerang pirouette with one-hand-lasso. A few more tries and I would have fallen on the ground, dizzy.
The reverse WWW is what I was trying to to with "Bird Go!"
A reverse WWW shouldn't be called MMM ? :P

I LOVE your post Jack. And I wish I could do these tricks. To Old?
-
Amazing tricks, Daniel! Looking forward to future installments.
Anyone: Having twirled many a top by various means but never having thrown one, l'm curious about string design -- for example, the measures taken to reduce friction against the metal tip. Besides a judicious choice of string material, are coatings or lubricants used?
-
One way to reduce the friction is to use a bearing tip. But for regenerations the friction is necessary to add speed to the spin.

Thanks for straightening me out on bearing tips, Dick! Should have known that they're not just to reduce friction when the top's on the ground. Seems like many if not most of the tops flying around on this forum (pun intended) rarely touch the ground.

This week it's more about place than a trick :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z55MsdzaJuw
-
Oh! The memories! The difference is that your top did not finish floating in a fountain like on my attempt! :-[ ;D
This is a trick I definitely would like to try again ;)
-
;D ;D
-
That is a cool trick of the week. I did the same thing nine years ago but I was at the Tracadero. I need to relearn the trick and go back!!!

what trick is that my good man???
-
I did the same trick Hroch did, the Eiffel Tower string trick. I am wondering how many people on this forum have done the same thing.......Jim (of course), ta0, Hroch, Ludo and others in Paris. Some of the Italians?
-
It's 3 PM on Monday in Czech Republic and that means, it's time for another Trick of the week! The normal Magnetic Wire part is much harder than the UD one in this situation because the top is just not spinning at all after waiting a moment to get a full turn on it.

damn that transition from right side up to upside down was so smoooooooooth :o
bravo

I need to try that! Thanks!

Yes, the transitions are very smooth.

OH OH VERY GOOD TRICK
the slow mo is a great tool to enjoy what's going on
thanx CHAMPION!
jim
-
So far #7 is my favorite TOTW! As Jack mention the transitions are prefect.
-
Thanks guys, I'm pleasured you like it! Since the top is spinning slowly, you just wait a moment when going to UD Magnetic Wire and the tops tilts nicely for it, try it too!
-
Hey, I did #7! :)
I used a QuickSilver with diabolo tip and a narrow string. I was trying to do Michelangelo's Patch 4X fixed-tip Mach 5 but I got frustrated and changed to this one. I was surprised to get it in just a few tries. I did regenerate a little more out of the snap start than on the video, but I think the top also ended with a little more spin on my hand.
-
ta0: Nice one! ;) ...just two days to #8 :)

Today's trick - One Hand UD Boomerang ;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHvE6Ft10L4
-
Wow! I never tried that one! But I will!
Thanks for posting it!
PS:
Perhaps you should include some easier tricks on this series. The level so far has been very advanced.

woooh
great! you make it look so easy >:(
thanx

Today's trick - One Hand UD Boomerang ;)
wow :o
-
Thanks guys. I think it's more difficult to come up with new and easy trick but we'll try ;)
-
Very nice! It is interesting that you are chasing the top with your hand as it comes by on your left instead of leading the top as it comes to you on the right.
Thanks guys. I think it's more difficult to come up with new and easy trick but we'll try ;)
Perhaps some interesting combinations of simpler tricks would be interesting to your fans. There are so many three trick combination possibilities. But there is a bit of a puzzle to figure out which tricks can be done with less spin and therefore be at the end of the combination.
-
Very nice! It is interesting that you are chasing the top with your hand as it comes by on your left instead of leading the top as it comes to you on the right.
Because chasing the top on left side is much easier for string setup and for starting merry go round ;)
-
This week something easier, I hope you all try it! A little hint, just do a normal rollercoaster, but don't let the end of the string go off your left hand, when you throw the top in the air.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh75TwHEzIw
-
Did it! :)
A little hint, just do a normal rollercoaster, but don't let the end of the string go off your left hand, when you throw the top in the air.
Yes, doing several roller-coasters (or sewing machines) without letting go the string from the left hand (like when using a ring) before going into the trick really helps.

ooooooo i like this one :o took me a little while to get it right but this trick is definatly something ill do on a reguler basis from now on.
3 thumbs up sir!!! and thank you very much for recording that, that trick should be required learning amongst top spinners ;D too fun 8)
-
im finding it really makes life easier if you intentionally throw the string over your throw arm as if your starting a WWW ;)
loving this trick @-@
-
I'm glad, that you both enjoyed number nine. And here is number ten!
https://youtu.be/-NwaWatLfyA
-
One-handed trapeze used to be part of the old advanced compulsories but I don't recall anybody doing this "inverse" version. I need to try it. Thanks!
-
I'm glad, that you both enjoyed number nine. And here is number ten!
i foresee another deep scratch on my blue QSH in my future ;) ;D
this would be an excellent freestyle element, im gonna go try to learn it :o
salutations sir!!! i salute you!!!
-
And here's next one!
https://youtu.be/wTg9wqreSaE
-
very nice tricks!thanks for showing!
I ´ll need to look for some time to try them!
-
A pirouette pass in the middle of the neckties (corbatines) trick?: I guess the trick was too easy as it was! :D
The video could also serve as a tutorial for neckties, I guess, although it would miss a frontal view.
Thanks for coming up with these new tricks and posting them. I love this series!
-
Thanks guys! Yes, corbatines is probably right name :) The only tricky part is throwing the top up before pirouette. You have to be absolutely sure that top has left the string before you start doing pirouette :D
-
And here's next one!
sinior mui fantastico will be your name name now @-@
all joking aside, very impressive :o
-
You have to be absolutely sure that top has left the string before you start doing pirouette :D
I can see why that could cause a big problem and even be dangerous. Thanks for the warning!

Number 12 is a quick one, check it out!

-

you are officially cooking with a higher grade lard than most :o
very impressive, and very difficult :o
now if youll excuse me im going to go fail at this trick for the rest of the day ;) lol!!! ;D
-
Thanks again for the weekly challenge!
Although that trick with the top UD is for elite players, the boomerang-behind-the-back-lasso with the top straight would be a good and fun trick for any advanced player to try.
-
Thanks guys. I know that this trick (and many others from series) are probably difficult to try for many players but as ta0 says, all of you can try easier variation like BtB lasso, BtB lasso from boomerand, UD boomerang...and after some time if you master these trick you can join them together ;)
-
Check the new TotW:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo0mmSlpvr0
It's an idea of continuous corkscrew (we were discussing it with Taka at EYYC) but this way removes one loop around arm in each repetition. Last year Johnm sent me an message with an idea on closed loop continuous corkscrew but I don't manage it yet.
-

i just tried that for 15 min and never managed to get into the second corkscrew, your new trick is deceptively difficult sir :o
i shall master this trick........eventually ;D
utmost respect to you and your godmode skills sir!!!
-
Mondays are not that bad with a Trick of the Week! :) Thanks!
I find the "open" (no bind) corkscrew easier to do with fixed tip than bearing tip, I don't know why. But obviously for attempting multiple corkscrews it is better a bearing top.
Your way of getting more slack to start the second corkscrew by eliminating one wrap is elegant. But to do more repetitions I would do what players use to do in the early 2000's: opening the wraps one by one by pinching them with the fingers.
-
I did the TOW double corkscrew.
I also practiced the open (no-bind) corkscrew. Using a Chico 2.0 I could do 2 open corkscrews in a row many times and once 3 in a row. I think with a little more practice I could do 5 with one throw. The limit is the spin of the top as it is difficult to do the open corkscrew if top slows too much.
-
Nice work! So were you opening wraps one by one to do more corkscrews in a row?

-

Yes. Not by much: just enough to get the button to the end of my fingers plus a slight slack.

I recorded a little video with four. Off camera did five and started a 6th. The big tip of the Chico top probably helps.

Nice one, opening wraps looks faster that I could imagine so it's pretty usable way to do multiple corkscrew ;)

I am sure Jack will get it in a few tries as he is the king of the finger nest. It may take the rest of us a little longer. ;)

ooo i quite like that title ;D
im actually having a bit of trouble geting that cross arm catch to work..........jack be not so nimble it appears ;D
-
Next one coming up!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1UB9dz31UU
-
Next one coming up!
wow :o
i think thats gonna take awhile to learn lol ;D
ive never seen that kind of lasso before, if you hadnt recorded that i would have said it was impossible, bravo as always bravo sir :)
-
I am with Jack: I am impressed by that "trapeze" with the top almost vertical. The rest of the trick reminds me Zorro.
Challenging but very nice! Thank you for posting it!
-
As you're saying, the interesting thing should be start from boomerang. It's not that hard just try it! :)
-
It's not that hard just try it!
so sayeth the man who has done the impossible!!!!! ;D
i will try though >:D
-
waoooww superb trick !
jakub : you RULE !
the first catch and transition reminds me of salvador
i can't foresee a world spintop contest without you and daniel
;)
we'll see to that in the future years ///....°
jim
-
Nice looking. Thanks for sharing.
-
This is for sure one that I would love to see a second camera angle. It is SO cool. I love the cable car trick and this one is super.
-
I really liked that trick!
-
Another one is here, this time it's twin spin boomerang! And it's from another angle, it would be hard to see from POV video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYEwB1lNE-M
-
Wow! That is great!
In the 60's Duncan trick list they had the twin-spin thrown behind the back and caught on the front: Twin Orbits.
(http://www.ta0.com/papyrus/images/Duncan_Trick_Book/DuncanTrickBook_p29.jpg)
That trick is not very easy but yours should be much more difficult.
Thanks for the challenge!

question: what top is that??? is there a new twin spin top in production!?!?!?
-

It's Trompos Cometa Twins, they're very light, so almost no hard tricks possible, but you can get you can get a one repetition of both handed crazy 8's on a good day.

You can see the list of tricks on the page on the right:
(http://www.ta0.com/papyrus/images/Duncan_Trick_Book/Duncan_trick-book2.jpg)
Circle the Globe is boomerang around the back (by the way, it seems they mistakenly swapped the photo with Twin Orbits).
Crazy Maze is hand passing under the legs and behind the back.
Double Trouble is twin boomerang. Double Daze is twin under the leg boomerang. Gemini Jump is twin sky rocket.
-
the anticipation is delicious @-@

:D Here it is. Behind the Back Boomerang to Whip, not very clean but prove of concept.

well the next few days of my life are going to be working on this now ::)
do you have long arms??? cus ive noticed you seem to be able to get your arms way further back around then i can :o
-
I guess it would be a good combo to do in front of public: the top disappears behind you and after a few seconds of suspense appears again in dramatic fashion ;)
Keep them coming!

wheel played Jakub
isn't that freehand spintop?5A division! ;)
Unkle Steve would be glad to C that!
jim
-
wow :o
-
Wow is right! :o
The second part of the combo, the sun with release to the elevator (lift) is really original.
Thanks a lot for posting this and being an inspiration!
-
Perhaps my favorite TOTW
-
18 looks great.
-
I want to be a Konecný when I grow up
-
Thanks guys, funny comments :) Original idea is not to catch the button (and then throw) but just kick the button and then catch it between foot and ground to do elevator. But it's too difficult :D
For practising, start learning:
1) suns
2) suicide
3) elevators
Tip: Top has to spin very fast (turning slow on string) to easily make a loop around the tip.
-
Number nineteen guys and this is a special one, at least for me. I did it few times on Toupie festival in France, but the camera angle was quite bad, so I recorded it again. It's still not the best shot, but I think you'll get the idea.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2j0uewCD3k
-
wow!Daniel !
very high class trick: the final catch with the twins reunited is really fantastic
BRAVO ! ;D
jim
-
Wow! :o When I tried the 3 top cascade from the boomerang on my Juggle Top Fest (http://www.ta0.com/forum/index.php/topic,532.msg4218.html#msg4218) video I never dreamed that I could reunite the double spin on the fly. That really completes the trick. 8) 8) 8) I am very happy to see it done. I tip my hat to you!
By the way, I practiced a little the TOW18 (suicide to lift) and was close. I need to change the hollow point to a top that can actually climb the string. The move of the sun with release (actually more like a M. Hayward suicide/comet without releasing one hand) is a new move that I had not seen in any other tick. Fun to do.
I also did TOW17: had success on the second try (I already had down the behind-the-back catch.)
-
Wow. I have no words. Wow!
-
daaaaamn daniel....back at it again with an impossible trick ;D
but seriously wow, thats impressive.
do you have to fight the gyroscopic effect of the top when your shifting your hands???
and if so i bet its really confusing correcting the pressesion of that many tops lol ;D
niccccccce 8)
-
Wow! Very nice. And what a clever way to start and stop with three. Very impressive!!!
-
>:D
-
Thanks guys!
ta0: I've never seen that Juggle Top Fest video, very impressive! I have to try to juggle with four tops too.
Jack: I actually don't do any special movement with my hands, I just juggle like with 3 balls and hope that all tops stay straight ;D
-
ta0: I've never seen that Juggle Top Fest video, very impressive! I have to try to juggle with four tops too.
No, Daniel, what I did was just experiment a little. What YOU did was impressive! I would even say it was epic!
When I originally posted the Juggle Top Fest video I said that the only juggling with tops I would like to continue practicing was from a boomerang with a the nested (twin) top. But I never did. After watching your achievement I may start practicing it again (but I doubt I can get the tops to nest at the end).
-
After watching your achievement I may start practicing it again (but I doubt I can get the tops to nest at the end).
I hope you do! Once you get juggling with 3 balls dialed in, it's only about few hours of practice and you get there! One interesting thing, at the end, I can't just throw the smaller top into a bigger one because they are in a wrong order when I'm juggling with them. So I throw the smaller one from my left hand up, catch the bigger one to my left hand and then the smaller one just hopefully falls inside it. In other words, when ending the combo, I don't throw the smaller top from my right hand to the bigger top on my left hand, I just throw the smaller one from left hand into the air and catch it again with my left hand (to the bigger top). I don't think anyone noticed that, it would need a better angle, normal video, not POV.

Number 20 by Jakub is a new way of regenerating a top, check this one out!

It looks like you are forced to rotate with the precession :-\ I guess I need to try it to get a better idea of the trick.
Twenty tricks already!

mmm this is a goodie @-@ this opens up the possibility for new tricks from this setup aswell eh :o
bravo sir!!!

21 is a quickie, I'm sure I'm not the only one doing this, but it's quite fun. If you have a twin-spin top, give it a try!

Dale Oliver does that trick, he calls it Split and Catch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz5CFoXe2f4
You can find it in his old list of spintop tricks, now at a new address: www.scienceofspin.com/spin-top-tips---videos.html.
If I recall correctly, I tried it a few times but was not successful (that was a long time ago). I guess I need to try again: thanks for the motivation!
-
This one from Jakub is quite insane in my opinion, hope you'll like it too!

Little nice trick! The insane part is finding a way of making any trick (in this case snap start) more difficult! :D
I'll try it.
Keep them coming!
-
The insane part is finding a way of making any trick (in this case snap start) more difficult! :D
I'd say that finding a more difficult way of doing tricks is not that hard. Thinking of easier tricks is definitely harder for me. :D
We got our order from Taka few weeks ago and that means few Japan themed tricks are going to come soon, here is a first one. Doing normal top tricks with koma is definitely harder, but way more fun too! These new MajiKomas with SS weight rim are so awesome and I definitely recommend everyone to buy one or more, you'll have a lot of fun ahead!

ooo thats unexpected, i look forward to seeing these koma tricks :o
that looks like it would be damn near impossible with a traditionally tipped koma lol ;D
-
Jack: Definitely not an easy one with normal-tiped koma, but I think, that some Japanese koma players are able to do it.
Number 24 is koma again!

Jack: Definitely not an easy one with normal-tiped koma, but I think, that some Japanese koma players are able to do it.

mmm delicious, that must be pretty difficult with that koma, isnt that the heavier version?
bravo, your snap is on fleek......as the young people say these days @-@
-
Actually, I had little problem doing the arm walker with a normal koma tip, both with and without the weight ring. I think this size of koma are pretty easy to snap start.
I guess I have done about half of the tricks on this series. Keep them coming that I will try to catch up one day! ::)

After so many boomerangs caught behind the back, I don't recall trying a trapeze BDB. If it is not raining tomorrow I'll try it.
Thanks!
-
Jakub moves his One Handed Trapeze abilities even further!
very impressive, am i right in thinking its a blind catch? or can you see the catch from that angle?
-
You're right Jack, it's a blind catch. It must be very hard to catch it regularly but if you are trying it for few minutes you'll probably catch it without problems ;)

Well, I don't think I would call it simple and I doubt that very many players can do it! ::)
I have actually practiced quite a bit the part after the lasso but I was not consistent enough to do it on stage.
I would say that it is a great combo for those who want to take their play to the next level.

i love this trick, ive got the grind down pat but the pop coming out is still giving me trouble :P
i wonder how many people would notice if you did this in the middle of a freestyle ;D
excellent trick!!! excellent trick!!!
update: finally got the pop out to work ;D
really liking this one
-
Wow! You made it into a trick! 8)
A few times I have landed a top on the crown in a trapeze by mistake. Once or perhaps twice I could save it, but it looked too difficult to make it into a regular trick.
I love the name Royal Grind!
-
Just like Ta0, I have never thought to make this into a trick. A must try!
-
your "royal grind" was the last trick ill be doing for a week or so :'(
had a bit of thigh surgery yesterday afternoon ;D
im glad i got to taste victory learning this before though eh!!! ;D

A bit of surgery?!? Hope you are doing a bit better after all of that!!!

Surgery? I hope you're doin' okay. Rest up, I'm sure you'll be back better than ever. ;)

Fast recovery Jack!
And as every monday, here's new trick!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wOh4ehwhLw

Great horizontal whips! I have never tried whipping against the precession. Nor have I tried the loop slapping reversal that yo-yo players are fond of doing.
Thanks for the ideas!
PS: With the POV camera I have difficultly telling who of you two is doing a trick.
-
Fast recovery Jack!
thanks ;D
And as every monday, here's new trick!
fantastic whips!!! fantastic!!!
im gonna give that a whack in a sec :o

I like it. Thanks for sharing.

Nice whips and cool music, too!!!
Thanks.

Thanks guys!
ta0: It's me in the last video ;)
Today it's lassoing behind the back with 180° turn. It might be a regen but it's quite difficult to keep the top straight so I can do just about 4 lassos.

thats very impressive, a similar motion following a chonkakegoma. as soon as i can manage to catch behind the back rollercoasters im gonna learn this, i think it would make a great freestyle element eh :o
bravo!!!
p.s where are you??? that looks like florida!!! ;D
-
Nice! I have to try it!
I am sure it regens . . . if you can control the tilt.

So I see the TOTW did not take the day of for the US holiday. :)
Are you pulling up with both hands to reduce the slow down due to the left hand pull? It looks like it will be hard to keep lots of spin. It is a very cool trick.
-
Sorry guys for late reply...
Jack: Florida would be nice, but it's exactly here (https://www.google.cz/maps/@49.0624891,16.0925987,17z?hl=cs).
ta0: exactly...if you can control the tilt :)
Kirk: When I'm throwing the top up from string I'm pulling with both hands (maybe left hand a bit more) and I think that it doesn't slow down the top at all because top is sliding on the string all the time so you almost can't notice any slow down.
NEW trick is here, Daniel comes up with quite funny name so enjoy the trick ;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxmZYZTLHr8
-
Wow! :o The combos are getting really complicated! Impressive!
For a moment I thought you were going to catch the top in the triangle/loop around your neck. ;)
I think for the time being I will just practice the sun with release (counter-weight sun?) ::)

Wow!!!! One-handed regens from a snap start! :o :o :o Impressive!
Spinningray should see this. At one time he was big into one-hand-lasso regens.
-
I hope JohnM sees it too. I remember watching in amazement as he did dozens of a similar trick with a big top.
Well done. It makes Monday a bit more fun.
-
New trick is coming :)
It's called Infinite Bondage. In first left (hand) to right transition right hand goes "inside" and it unwraps one loop from right hand. In second left to right transition right hand goes "outside" so number of wraps is unchanged. You can combine this moves as you like ;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y641c7hojdg
-
Wow! I have to untwist may brain now, but that was a lot of fun! :o 8) :)
Super trick!
On the first set it seems that no twists were added around the tip, but on the second set it started to accumulate twists. I have to think about it (after I untie by brain knot).
-
SUPER FANTASTIC TRICK !!
in fact it reminds of a crazy eight but with the wraps and unwraps around the cubitus/radius
jakub and daniel : vous êtes de vrais champions! real champs!

Salvador would be proud of you!
Do you do footbag? Salvador learned to do that first with the goal of translating the tricks to tops.

Thanks! I thought about Salvador when learning this trick.
I bought a footbag two years ago especially for this purpouse. I didn't dedicate much time to these tricks, but I will, there is some great potential I have yet to explore.

This could become a new type of "cork the bottle" trick.
Here is your challenge: wrap a string (the most difficult part), throw a boomerang, invert the sombrero cap and quickly put it back on the bottle. :P
(https://megasauruspackagedesign.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/02_sierra.jpg)
-
ta0: funny challenge :D ...today's trick is a variation of your pencil sharpener ;)
Some tops require pencil instead of finger for this trick. If it looks easy for you, add pirouette between throw under the leg and UD catch ;) I didn't managed to do it with pirouette but it's just about practise.

Boomerang the sombrero cap and then cap the bottle by inverting the hand into the bottle (probably not completely upside down, but enough not to spill tequila if there was any inside.) ;D

I tried the Infinite Bondage trick today. I used a Chico 2.0 as it makes it easier to keep the top on the string.
I had some trouble bringing the top back to the right without hitting the string, but it was lots of fun.
Thanks guys for all the innovation!

Today it's Daniels video of Cast Whip inspirated by offstring yoyo trick (https://yoyotricks.com/yoyo-tricks/cast-whip/8280/).
BTW: Daniel is a junior world record (http://www.yo-yos.net/world%20records.htm) holder for offstring whips (104 in a row).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciLjzZeYE5s
-
The difference between the regular whip and the cast whip seems very subtle. Perhaps it is more obvious with a yo-yo.
On the video the top body goes through the loop: is that necessary for it to be a cast whip?
Well done!
-
Jorge: Maybe it is hard to see it on a video, but there is a noticeable difference. In normal whip, you catch the top into a loop, but in cast whip you let the top fall into the loop from above.
My execution on the video is not one of the best, but it is pretty hard to catch it :D. I caught it a bit late. In best scenario, the top catches the string when the loop is in horizontal position, that's all. It goes through the loop on the video because I caught it a bit late.
-
After reading your description, Daniel, I am thinking that when I do the underhand whip with the full string, the way I catch the top is similar to a "cast" catch.
On the other hand, if I do it with a short loop, it would be a regular whip (string hits the tip, not vice versa). I can see that doing the cast overhand is more difficult.

For today's TOTW, I saw Jack's Instagram post with MicroTop and new idea came to my head. It's not always about new tricks but the equipment you use can change a lot. You all know for sure.
https://youtu.be/KBzj5dyY5Os
-
Love it! Love it! Love it! :)
Was that a toothpick? That requires great accuracy!
The inversion was perfect!
I am surprised it spun that long after the inversion.
I don't have the aluminum MicroTop but now I wish I did. Perhaps I can try it with Trompillo's micro top :-\
-
Yes, I suppose I should call it Toothpick Sharpener then :D
I had to be very carefull with the inverison otherwise the top would stop spinning rightaway. You just have to tilt the top a bit on the toothpick and then finish the balancing on the hand.
I don't remember how Trompillo's micro top looks, but give it a try! And I recommend you to buy Ben's aluminium MicroTop, it is a great throw!

This was a great excuse to play with Taka's koma. But I had a lot of trouble flipping the top as the "stem" is short and it kept hitting my hand. So I finally did it from a trapeze.
Thanks for the motivation!
-
Flipping it is the hardest part probably, I had to use just a little part of my palm otherwise it would be almost impossible.
Good job, I have to try it from trapeze too :)

How many tries? Who is the receiver? ;)
Nice scenery!

We hit it on the first try but the camera angle was bad, then about 10 tries later again, still bad camera angle. It finally worked out well on 20th try or so. The receiver is my girlfriend :)

Around right-leg&right-arm&right-leg, to finger nest, to around left-leg&righ-arm&left-leg: super combo! 8)
Going around both extremities at the same time should have its own name. Around left (or right) wing/sector/flank?
The snow (I believe that is the name of the white stuff :P) looks great on the video. But extra difficulty-points for frozen fingers!
-
I like wings, let's call it Around the wing :D
You don't see snow at our city that often, but this winter is different than few previous ones, finally real winter. I was fortunate enough to hit it on first try, so no fingers were harmed during this shooting, but I can't say that about the previous one :D

. . . so no fingers were harmed during this shooting, but I can't say that about the previous one :D
What girlfriends are capable of doing! ;D

I like it! Very nice variation of Around the Arm. 8)
I tried it today. The main difficulty I found was in keeping the string at the right place on the thumb to have the opening for the top. Once I got that right, hitting the string did not seem more difficult than the regular around the arm.

Thanks guys! :)
ta0: I prepare the string over thumb during the lasso catch, you can see that in 0:17 in video. The hardest part for me is the behind arm catch in the end because there is very long string between hands.

Ha! I didn't realize that the last catch was part of "bartender". I only did the one-hand trapeze part. I'll try tomorrow the whole thing.

It is inspired by diabolo where these suicides are quite common.

You said it! :o
Although I have done the 3 parts separately, combining the 3 into one combo is a low probability of success proposition. ::)
Pushing the envelope of the state of the art, as usual!
PS: Thanks a lot for keeping the commitment to the TOW throughout the winter! We appreciate it!
