Sounds pretty cool.  Love to hear of things like this!!!

[mailman]

Jack, it was our pleasure to come and meet with you again, and throw tops. 

As helpful as Jack is with his super POV trick videos, he is even more helpful in person!  I learn lots, every time I have the opportunity to ask him questions and get him to demonstrate things.

Butterfingers and I were the lucky recipients of extremely generous gift packages of Jack's Grade "EH" String, and even hand-turned wooden tops Jack made himself.

I could see this as being an annual pilgrimage, as long as Jack is willing to have us.

Thanks again for everything, Jack!

If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain.

One day I'll go to Toronto   

[butterfingers]

We had lots of fun and it was a good visit. Turned out that the weather was pretty good.....

As usual, the information flowed only one direction ...  From Jack ----> Butterfingers and Mailman.

Jack gifted us a bunch of way cool custom handmade strings which are way too good for us! And the instruction was first rate.

I made a nifty trade with Mr. Jack who is a shrewd trader not to be trifled with. He took a white Guilia top in exchange for a white STB 2.0 with a one way bearing. I am hoping to see the Guilia in some of his future videos!

The wooden crown Jack made for his QSH top is an inspiration and I will be making my own attempts in the near future. He also gave each of us one of the tops he turned. Haven't thrown mine yet but it looks pretty tasty.

the spintop 5a 360 in that last freestyle happened pretty quick so here it is slowed down (for those unfamiliar with this trick, the button leaves the the throw hand and orbits the forefinger of the non throw hand, and is then re-caught back between the fingers of the throw hand from whence it came and all is well in the world and you keepergoooooin there eh budd @-@ i posted a thread awhile back detailing this with gopro footage http://www.ta0.com/forum/index.php/topic,4352.0.html)

This combo is soooo nice!!!
Well done!
I have to watch and watch again this to make it clear in my blowed mind...

[ta0]

Lucky and happy guy!  Those are great tops. And the freestyles make them justice! 

I did catch the 5a trick on the combo and replayed it a couple of times before realizing that you had it in slow motion below. I had forgotten about that trick: I need to practice it. I see you changed the name form windmill to 360.
I also need to practice the transfer to the fingernail of the middle finger.
