Hi,
Friends call me Mermouy, as the topic title says, i'm french, living most of time in north of France (Lille).
I was waiting before introducing myself for the
Eyyc17 (European Yo-Yo Championship 2017) as I was participating, and I did known a video could help...
So everything is fine, except I made a really bad run there, but at least I can show something...
So on
these videos I'm spinning at last position, and finish at the same place, and that's already great for me! (sounds great on a C.V.: 6th at Eyyc17
)
Were great spin times there and nice meeting. (Attila, Jan, Maurizio...)
I will try to make a video of a freestyle later.
Anyway, I spin since 3 years now, but only 2 actives as I didn't really practice the first one.
I've discovered spintop in Marines's spin top festival where I also meet some well knows spinners and Ta0 forum users (Lord Jim, Damiens, Ludo...)
I've helped in organisation of the
Loon-plage Top Festival last year were I met the Konecny brothers for the first time for example.
We plan to organise this loon-plage festival again next year, and, why not the French National Spintop Championship? But I will post more on this later...
About posting, I'm still waiting for the french rules version of the "
Toupétanque" to translate and post on the forum...
For the rest: I'm a juggler in a "street performer" way, as you can
see here. (still need to work on this website btw) I actually intend to add the spintop to my show, as soon I will find/make the good one...
I also maintain some websites for friends and/or associations, and work sometimes as an animator with/for friends with kites and
traditionnal wood games.
With some friends we also try to make some tops, first wood turned with Dorian, and we now plan to turn some HDPE.
For example we've tested the Jack QSH cap modification posted
here. As you can see here:
Last wood-turned example was a Chonkake you can
see here or just one here:
I will try to post our experiments as they come of course...
Happy to officially be a spinner!!!
