Hey guys.

I put a quick vid on youtube. Check it out.

We need to have a contest someday where you have to drink the beer first, then spin the bottle. Fastest to a six pack wins?

I cant throw a top but I can

Wow! You got it spinning really straight! Very good throw!

This is a slightly different technique (tip up) used by Mark at the RIT juggling fest this year:



We need a video of Jon doing it; I believe he invented the trick.

I don't drink beer, so we can make a team: you drink (and pay for them) and I throw them 

I agree, a bottle spinning contest would be hilarious and fun.

For anyone else attempting this trick make sure you use a beer bottle.  I was present once when Jon tried this trick with a soda bottle and the thinner glass used on those bottles did not survive the impact when it was thrown.  Lots of glass to clean up ensued.

it is a dangerous man who can spin a beer bottle @-@

When I first tried this, it was a  lot like Mark, with very similar results.
I then came up with a little trick, I took a dowel rod and rounded the end and
 Whittle down the other end so I could put it into the bottle.
Basically I made a tip so it would stand up better.
It works great!

Nicely done Dave !!!

Genius!

You should patent the beer bottle tip and then organize beer spintop contests at bars around the USA world. I bet bars would be interested as a promotional thing. You could quit your day job (for a second time)!

It does spin quite nicely.  Thanks for the video and the ideas.

I think Alan Gray made a beer bottle tip as well, but I have not seen it in use.
