[jim in paris]

hi all

i'm starting  this post in advance

so

what is / would be your best spintop-related wish for 2014 ?

as for me , I have 2 personal wishes :
to visit Lourens Bas over a week-end with Ludo
to start a toupie craze after the 4th toupie festival

I think I'd like to see spin tops become the next big toy craze.  Forget Kendama and yoyos, I want to see every kid with a top.  (preferably a MicroTop, but that's just me being selfish  )

[ta0]

I also wish for a top craze (although I think 2015 is more likely). 
I wish for a great contest in Prague with many players. If I decide to compete (unlikely) I wish to win   

PS: I would not mind joining Jim and Ludo on a visit to Lourens. I wish you make it coincide with worlds

I wish for more non-suck entry-level tops to be available in the US.

You know you could fulfill your own wish right?  Neff's modded tops are non-sucky entry level tops!  That's the tag line I'd go with

if this were facebook, i'd just press the "like" button...
since i have to say something, i'll say: I AGREE.

Yeah I know! I've been on Ta0 to make a "like" button for a while now. 

This reminds me that our new vacuum cleaner has a trouble-shooting booklet with it.
One page is titled: "What to do if your vacuum does not suck"

My wishes for 2014 are:

to have fun at contests
maybe some wins at contests
to teach more people how to throw tops
and to learn more tricks

I also agree.  I only own entry level tops, and my Neff is my favorite.  To the New York Toy Fair with you!

To sell the hundreds of tops I have left over from the 1100 I made in 2011!
Then I would have the money to shop for new tops for my personal collection.

I am guessing a table at a crafts fair or another place with high traffic would be the easier way of selling the tops.  Silvertop (aka The Toycrafter) may have more advice.

[cecil]

I wish for a production model four inch hallow black delrin spin top that out plays all tops, Steal tip.

[Neff]

A-men.

[czyoyo]

My teaching wish is starting well!



P.S. I'm not sure how to make the picture smaller.

I wish to compete with ta0 in Prague

I also wish many kids to start throwing tops (especially in Czech republic) and many contests across the world.

[Blithen]

My first wish would be to meet some fellow top throwers at an event of some kind, second to get down regenerations!

[Kirk]

I wish in 2014:

• To get my 16 patch. (one trick away)
• To learn to Regen. (I learned 6 new tricks in 3 weeks but none are regens)
• To build the top balance machine that John M and I discussed.

Hi Kirk!
please, accept my apologizes. When we met in Orlando last year,I promised to show you a very good link where I was explaining how to learn to do lazadas (rollercoasters) Some people have told me that they have learnt how to regenerate (with rollercoasters) from watching and analizing this video. I was Reading your post and I suddenly remembered it.
Here you are:

Although is in italian, only by seeing itself you can learn.

I hope ´twill help you.

[Kirk]

Gracias a mi amigo por la conexión a Internet. No se necesita ninguna disculpa.

My understanding of Italian is much worse than my, poor, Spanish. As you say I am leaning by watching.

I hope you are having a good time in France.

Ciao
