I recall that when I talked to Gustavo on the phone he told me he was surprised when he saw how high they threw their large traditional wooden tops in Colombia. I guess that stimulated his competitive side to emulate it with the plastic tops.
On the English name for it I am now leaning towards using the word "toss". But I want something better than
high toss
. What about
Sky Toss
?

Yeah, the "Sky Rocket" spin top trick seems over-named when you see Gus launch one like that. Rocket Launch, maybe?

Some things which come to mind:
High Dive? Free Fall? Suicidal Re-entry? G-force? Nose bleed! ?

Perhaps
Suicidal Toss
would be a good compromise that would not be confused with the already named
Suicide
trick but it is still closely related to its name in Spanish and to the the similar diabolo trick.
