Helitopter

[Takeshi]

I'm not sure if this would count as a yo-yo trick or a top trick at a contest, but either way, it was fun.  My first attempts at a SutterCopter style helicopter with a top and a yo-yo. I gotta work out some kinks, but so far... I like it

SWEET trick and i think a tangler is possible.

Vintage Takeshi, nice!

I like to watch it but I don't think I have what it takes to practice that trick.

[RunBMC]

You may have invented a whole new style of playing!

Looks like there will have to be a new yo-top division in competitions.

Just now I realize the name is Helitopter not Helicopter 
Maybe this version should be called YoTopter (yoyotopter, yolitopter?) and leave Helitopter for the double spintop version: are you going to attempt that?

[kevinm]

not as kid friendly, but i would have called it hellyotopter, or, if i had to
try to learn it, hellnotopter.
that has got to be one of the coolest tricks ever, whatever you call it!

[the Earl of Whirl]

Nice.  I like the music, too!

Good work, Takeshi.

[Takeshi]

lol, thanks guys!

The original name was "Hella-Topter", but I wanted to make it a little more family friendly. 

I have been working HARD on a top top helicopter type trick the past 4'ish years and while it IS possible, it's totally kicking my butt!  The top in my right hand goes over and under (like in helitopter) and the top in my left hand is laying horizontal at the bottom of the string which is pinched in my left hand.  The horizontal top does 1 around the world in one direction then precesses 180 and then I do an around the world in the other direction... over and over and over.... it's soooo tough.  I'll get it one day though.  OH!  You are all welcome to try it... PLEASE!  lol, the timing is rough!

Now yoyo-top tangler is something I definitely want to try!  I am pretty darn sure it is possible, but probably not for more than a couple repetitions.  I some of the 2A yo-yo players can do something similar.  I'll try

Some of the Takeshi´s tricks,. are the most amazing I´ve seen talking about spin tops (togheter with the most of tricks of Matt Ritter). That´s doesn´t mean that I don´t consider the efforts and achievements of the other players of the world, but, really, some tricks of these two guys are really breathtaking.

That´s the resulting thing of to be a yoyo player and spin top player. You can dare to do things sometimes unthinkable, and the skill gotten of handling both of those toys, will give yopu that ability, that´s why I´m startint to learn to play yo-yo.
I guess that if some player handles besides to yoyo, those monobolos, the gyroscopes, even kendama and "baleros" (I don´t mean "ballbearing", but a wood toy, which name I ignore in english) one´s can do strange and amazing things!
Congrats! Takeshi! A really very good, cool, and nice trick!

What a nice boy! so joyful and smiling! He surely will be a very good spintop player in the future!
