Among the things I am proud of at worlds 2011, ranking high is that I got to balance this:

It looks like I missed a really great time at Worlds. It is so great to see the photos and hear the stories.
Great job to all the competitors. All those hours of throwing Brutus really paid off for Mike. Looked like everyone had fun.
The top battle on the mini keg / metal lid looked very enjoyable. I was amazed to see the wood battle top spin the longest.
Great to see so many new Figaro inductees.
Very cool spin top medals. Great idea.
Love the grain on the lignum vitae Sofia.
Congratulations on balancing the Frustration top Chris! Oh yeah and winning the World Spin Top Championship.
Hope to see some of you in Chico.

It was really great seeing everyone this year.  Congratulations to everyone who competed.
I had a lot of fun.
Eric I love my top.  It is pretty much the only thing I have thrown since I got home.

That must be one of the most beautiful tops I have ever seen.  But I had the chance of throwing it at worlds before Neff balanced it and the wobble was crazy. Frustration was the right name for it, but no more. I guess now the name could be: "The top formerly known as Frustration"  :P

Thanks for making many people smile, Richy!!!  The community of top spinners may not be as large as some groups but we know what we enjoy and have a good time with it.  Our hope and dream is that we have many many more say "YES" to the top mod contest at worlds, whether they are top notch mods or not necessarily the best in the world mods.  Once again I ask "can there be an 'also participating' category that people can be involved in but not feel like they are badly beaten by the great modders out there."  I would love to do something and be a part of it all but I know what I do will be pretty insignificant to all you people with more tools and more experience.
