behold gentlemen!!! tommorow (the 21st) is the winter solstice!!! as per tradition i encourage all who are fit and able to perform suns continious suns or sun spiders or for that matter any other sun related trick on this most auspicious day!!!
thank you for your time.....i am not drunk @-@

[the Earl of Whirl]

Ha!  I am not drunk, either.  Suns sound like fun on the winter solstice!!!

[Jeremy McCreary]

Well, the winter solstice is a little too late if you ask me. We had our snow and single-digit highs last week -- thanks to another =Canadian= cold air mass.

If you guys keeping dumping your cold air on us, we're going to build another wall. And I'm not drunk, either!

Ok, I just did a few simple suns outside under the solstice sun (not a big deal: 68F )

Aw shucks, we can't stay mad at you long!

If those tricks don't say "winter solstice", I don't know what would. Don't know what you call them, but I like all the top orbits around various things.

I would like to learn these "Suns". Does the top precess as it goes around the loop? I can't tell.
Thanks

yep the top does preccess, and you control how much it does by the tension on the line

Oh? In that case perhaps I had better work on something easier

its easier than it sounds lol

I think Jack's memory is failing him: continuous suns!!! ........kinda 
The continuous suns is a trick that AFTER you learn it feels easy but BEFORE you learn it can be very frustrating. But the effort is well worth it. I think it is one of the best tricks in top spinning!

The top only precesses at the bottom quarter of the circle.

Tops in the snow and ice. It's going to be a Great Christmas.
