Go Kid Go....
« on: October 26, 2011, 11:31:22 AM »
Our Neff "Playground Top" arrived and I finally had the chance to bring it to the school yesterday and let the advanced players give it a try...here are three videos of Orlando playing with it....  Watch out freestylers!  >:D    ;D

p.s. the videos were shot with my phone and uploaded directly to youtube, so the last two video clips were cut short.

Orlando 2

Quite impressive.  Three nice videos.  Now, how come I can't get the videos I made from my phone on to youtube?  I have tried my download.  I have tried wi-fi.  I have worked with the Cincinnati guys and I have worked with others around here.  It says it has downloaded but then I find nothing on youtube.
Arghhh.  These are videos of Nimbus for silvertop.  Honestly, Don, I am trying my hardest to get these to you!!!

Anyway, back to the matter at hand.  Good work, Orlando!

A barely eight year old doing joker chokers, magnetic wire and barrel rolls: what has the world become?  ???  ;D
Seriously, he wasn't even born when I started to play tops . . .

Go Orlando!

SpinQueen did bring Orlando to nats in 2011. He got first in his age group (younger than 14?) on the sports ladder and even did a little freestyle, if I recall correctly



And he got into the Figaro Gallery:



But I suspect that when the Academy/SpinQueen went into the next thing he may have stopped playing  :-\

Orlando's in the 8th grade now.  He and his family have moved to New Zealand for a year-for dad's work.  Orlando has incredible focus and he's good at many things....fingerboarding, skateboarder, guitar playing, and he's an awesome swimmer.  He holds records for swimming in his age group.  I'm sure his top spinning would come back to him after a few throws.
