Trick of the week by Spintop.cz - 1st Year

[Hrosik]

Hi guys,
as you probably know, me and Jakub are running czech website about tops, we also introduced eshop with S8, Duncan and Energia tops a month ago. Our new project is called Trick of the week and I think that it speaks for itself. Every week we are going to upload a video of some interesting trick or variation on our YouTube channel. You can expect POV videos with slow-motion footage at the end. This topic is here just to let you know about new tricks, but feel free to comment them or let us know about something new to try.

Here is a list of all the videos: https://youtu.be/w1tnTlGkqBc?list=PL-XAs_P0_hwWjdBKNyDHQh3DbdbNZpSA3

The Trick of the Week is a wonderful project!
I am sure it will be motivational for many players.

It will be fun to try to reproduce them every week! 

Thanks!

I tried to do the cross jump today. I thought it was going to be easier, but it was difficult to get out the habit of the normal jump.
I was getting close when the string caught one of my shoulders and made the top swing onto my lower back: ouch!  I had to quit after that.
Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. Or perhaps I'll just practice the Miguelanchelo patch tricks: it is safer! 

[Hroch]

Great that you've tried the trick  Sorry for your back, I hope it's getting better.

Other jump rope tricks should be possible too, like backwards toad:

or backwards EB:

About Miguelanchelo patch, I asked him to send me better quality of video then I crop it and turn 90° some tricks. Now it's much easier to learn tricks from (especially if you download video and play it frame by frame). I've sent him also video file so he can upload it on his youtube channel. Now it's just on our spintop.cz youtube channel as private video:

Those jumps look pretty crazy to combine with a top! 

You had a great idea to improve the quality of Miguelanchelo's patch video. I was thinking in doing the same but I have been lazy. However, when I watched the video you linked to, the sections with the tricks rotated 90 degrees are shown black. Can you see them on youtube?

Aaaa, you're right, probably some rendering mistake. I'll have to repair it.

New week is here and with it also a new trick. I added a little whip at the end of Chris's Wrist Wrap Whip, it's not as easy as it may look
