Short and Messy Freestyle - for Cecil
« on: August 04, 2019, 07:41:56 PM »

I want to see more tricks with this beautiful top please. I will be 74 ln September - I have the Reaper following me around as it is.
Here's a quick freestyle to fulfill Cecil's "final request"  ;).  Hope you enjoy!

There was a messy part??
The shoulders on my tip are too steep, or possibly too large (I very quickly made the tip to try the top and haven't made a final one yet) so it doesn't release the string.  I got it all tangled after my first trick, but was able to pop it out of everything.  I got through all the tricks I had planned on, but could maybe could have done a few more until my hands got completely wrapped up there at the end...

Thanks Jospin, and Paxi13. The videos are great - Cecil loves big tops - and watching big top videos. Now my request is the escalator trick from the foot. Every one who throws big tops is welcome on this request.

Need to figure out how to 'throw' my Watt's and then how to do that trick :) At some point maybe!!!

Cheers Cecil!!

Ha ha, I'll give it a try, but I don't think this particular top would be up for that task...

Justin - my Grandson try’s his big bearing top, and Taiwan Toulo top. New tops new lines - lot’s of fun. Tao, how do you spell Toulo?

Nice to see some tricks - and not to many regenerations. Thanks for sharing. I will post this on face book where Gus can see who’s coming from behind.
