Excellent work Jack!

Well done! You got it!   

You really surprised me with the one-hand loop regens! You can call that variation your own! It was funny that you had to use one hand to protect your teeth. The reason is that using one hand the "gear ratio" is lower and you have to swing the top much faster than with two hands.

I wish the camera showed the catch on the UD boomerang and Pencil Sharpener (and with a faster shutter). On the Staircase to Heaven I would prefer that the spiral goes over a good part of the forearm and not just around the wrist.

I'll resize the white-belt patch so it matches the rest of your patches (but at the rate you are going you will need to make them smaller pretty soon  ).

Jack, give me a few weeks to make the cloth patches. I might make them together with the ITSA membership patches, once we finalize that design.

If you mean actually making a cloth patch, look for a custom embroidery shop (busca: "bordado de escudos").
I will send a cloth patch to whoever obtains mine.

If you mean, making your own virtual trick patch, you just need to come up with a list of 8 tricks (they don't have to be original, they can even be classics), video them and make a design for the patch. Anybody can propose his own trick patch (I want one from Mark Hayward  )

[Jack]

(I want one from Mark Hayward  )

mmm that would be a dilicious patch

Good job! It's really great patch, difficult and interesting tricks. Division to classes A and B and more difficulty levels is also good idea. I hope we'll get black belt soon 

I have been waiting for some videos from the Czech Republic 
I believe you mentioned on another thread that you were missing World Hitchhiker and Boleadoras.
The trick for doing them is: wait for the precession of the top to approach the position where the tip points in the direction you want to swing the top. The faster you swing it, the smaller the angle between this direction and the tip when you start. Then it is just a matter of having confidence and don't stop. It is just that. Of course, you need a place outdoors where you won't lose the top if it flies away.

  Thanks for info, I found similar one about month ago in some thread and I understand it but it's still not working well. I'm able to do Hitchhiker maybe twice from 10 and I've never done Boleadoras. Next week I'll have to do final state examination for Bachelors degree and I also want to make two videos for boomerang contest before deadline  Then I'm going to start practising again, weather is good so it's not problem to practise outdoors

[Hrosik]

Finally, we got all the tricks practiced and record our applications to obtain the black belt of Ta0 Trick Patch. So, boss, what do you think about them?

Wonderful! They are spin perfect! Both of you are officially spintop black belts! 

The quality of your videos is so good that people should watch those instead of my original video!

I will order the cloth patches very soon.

For others: no need to wait until you can do all 16 tricks and earn the black belt. When you can do 8 tricks post a video and get my patch.
Also, anybody can post their own patch list. The tricks don't have to be original. By the way, I need to work on Miguelanchelo's patch.
