Wow! Nice!

Enrique had mentioned that Martha may have been hired for a promotion in Brazil, but I did not know that also Carlos (Galvis) was or that it was for Yoyo Fenix. (Austen may know more about this ;) )  I bet they got the gig thanks to worlds 2013, so this exchange between Colombia and Brazil can be credited in part to the ineptt funds raised by the members this forum  :)

I am sure they were hired to demonstrate plastic tops but probably they are not yet comfortable playing the light and small tops so they are using their Colombian tops temporarily.  The video says that the demo is for the workers of a plastic manufacturer (Zafira) and that they are "already working with us", so I imagine that Fenix is manufactured at that location.

I have always been convinced that Brazil is a huge potential market for spintops.

Another interesting fact is that it was posted on yoyonews.com by Steve Brown who wrote: "We don’t see nearly enough top spinning, and there are some great tricks in here…grab your tops and get to practicing! "  :)

Thanks for posting the Great Videos. I love the Colombian style the long throws with the tip catches. I think there are great times ahead for all Trompo throwers. About a year ago I told Dale of Spintastic to make a four inch plastic trompo, that we all could afford,
and a top that could take a beating. He said that the die would cost to much. If I ever get into money I will make a lot of top throwers happy. Throw long line. I can throw a spinner at 36 feet, and I am 68 years old.

They were both hired to do presentations to promote the company and the sport of spin top. They flew to brazil in early march and they are staying for three months. They have been making  presentations in schools.

Nice to have you posting, Austen!

I believe you visited Carlos, Martha and Rodrigo in Colombia. Any photos or anecdotes you want to share from your trip?
