Nationals same weekend than us?  :D

Congratulations! It looks like the Kone?ný continue to dominate ;)

Is Tyler a Czech (I ask because of the name)? I don't recognize him.

I think I prefer this new scoring with the three throws counting.

I am looking forward to the videos.

Wonderful freestyles, Jakub!  The second and third throws were long runs with some high risk tricks. You covered a great variety of tricks from many players (staircase to heaven, skywalker, arm bounces, several Mexican regens, etc., etc.) plus your your own tricks. Those were high scoring throws and you would be a highly competitive at a World contest. 

I better start practicing for 2013 . . .  ;)

Did you stop on the second throw because there is a limit of 1 minute per throw?

I think you are the first one I see palm starting a regular size top (Neff? daveid?)

yes, one reason was time limit and second reason was that I had no idea what should I do next  ;D

palm start is the only one which I can do...I can't start top with just one hand, not with Giulia (I managed to do it just with Bulldog)

I tried the palm start of the Giulia after seeing your video and after a few tries I could get it to regen even though the top was very wobbly in the air.  I guess that you must be very confident doing it if you started the third "throw" with one. One good thing is that it is nicer on the fingers that the regular snap start.

Wow, awesome stuff!!!   ;D ;D ;D ;D   Lots of great tricks and smooth runs.  The format really flows and and keeps things interesting to watch.

I haven't had much luck with the snap start .....perhaps I should see if I can make any progress with a palm start.   

Thanks for posting the videos  ;D

I always thought that it was a lost of time to try that trick and now I can see that is a reality do it.
I say about the trick that passes above the arms, like the diabolo one. Congratulations!
Good tricks.

You are world class, Jakub!  Double arms so smooth, so many hard tricks.

The surface of a Giulia is very hard to grip with fingers for a snap start.  I polish my fixed tip Giulias to a  near gloss finish ;)

Wonderful Performances!!!

i'm so far behind, i don't think i'll ever catch up.

as far as regular sized tops go i've only palm started a few, mostly just my capless-QS with RC tip
and like Neff I like my Giulias polished for the snap start but even polished it's still not as easy as the smaller tops, I feel I should mention that after having practiced snap starts with Giulias, snap starting my older tops has gotten very very very much easier and I recommend practicing snap starts with Giulias, it's like lifting weights.
