It's been so long since I posted one of these update... I'll be honest, I've been kind of lasy lately about my online presence Playling too much guitar and tops.

Tricks wise, nothing really has changed much, I'm working on whips and I finally understood how to get into a sun from the hand directly... quite nice... Will try to
get a video out this week!!!

Cheers y'alls

Hey y'alls,

I'm still aliveeeee and spinnnnnin I also see that my topic has gone to the 2nd page, can't let that happen
So. what new, not much, I'm not spinning enough but having fun when I do. My mostly used top are the fantastic Jospin 3incher and my SodaTop from neff..

The other day I was able to hit a couple of pullstarts with a QSH withotu a modded cap. Has anyone done this on video... that was pretty fun. nail in the hole in the cap, tip o' the finger and PULLLLL... you end up with a spinnign top in your hand.

The other transition that IS working better is my sun to UD Merry go round!!! that's something i was suprised to be able to hit more or less consistantly this mornign
Anyway, how's eveyrone doinn amid this covid crap!

No, I don't think I have seen that one done. You could post the video on the Hollow Point starting thread as it would work with that one too (if not I'll have to do it with an HP )

Hey, we already have a competitor representing Canada at worlds and family comes first, but perhaps . . .

It’s been about 4 1/2 months sense my last hip surgery, and with all the bullshit that’s going on I’ve been dead on the water. My Grandson will be at the lake water skiing with friends - and  he always brings his lighted top that Jose, made for him. I’m still having fun with my new hobby BB guns.

I guess it's been too long since I've posted =)

I'm still very much alive!!! Playing tops every other day, never got around to prepare for the online contest! Too bad! Yesterday I was able to figure somthing out. It is possible from a rollercoaster to string to go straight into a Upside down crazy 8 For some reason I love the upside down crazy 8... I need to figure out how to do UD orbits..

Anyway,
So long folks
Keep spinnin!!!

Yeah, we missed you at worlds! Fortunately, Mark represented Canada well. A Canadian squirrel also made an appearance 

[paxl13]

Cool!!! yea, my life is kind of a mess these days... will get back into tops soon I hope!!!

Love the MGR chained everywhere, nice style...

Hey yalls,

I'm still alive ... I just got back into top spinning about a year after my last time playing for a while!! Having a blast relearning tricks and new ones! I was finally able to land behind the back trapeze to hand... Dunno what the name of this tricks is!! I must way I'm puzzled by the Aborigen regen... I need to figure this out!!

Anyway! What did I miss?
Cheers

Hope everyone is doing amazing!
