I love the great thermodynamics line, "No free energy lunch."

Who would have thought that a simple finger top in the movie would have caused such a large spintop forum thread and so many references!!

[the Earl of Whirl]

No free energy lunch!  Sounds like a great top regeneration phrase.  I love it!

I missed this topic somehow, thanks Zeemo.

If I may be so bold, I would like to name the combo I start to repeat at 1:13 here:



that, yeah I'd like to name that Free Energy Lunch.
There are three parts to it, Toboganes = Free (from string), Sun = Energy, Martillo (or whatever it is) = Lunge...ch     

Perhaps I should not be so bold...

The tobogan and martillo combine smoothly.  You did a great variety of regens, more than anybody else. But last impressions count and that last top was uncooperative.

Have you heard of the Pulfrich effect? It has been used to make course 3D displays of moving images by covering one eye with a dark filter.  The theory behind is that the eye with less light has a processing delay.  Perhaps it is not a good idea to use dark glasses in the freestyle . . .

[Neff]

   I think you're right, but I have sensitive eyes, and it was very bright up there.  I was worried about throwing the top in the wrong spot and accidentally being blinded.  The glasses I was wearing were not very dark from the inside, so I thought it would be OK.  I attribute my lack-luster freestyle to a lack of desire, I didn't want it bad enough.  I want it now...

I loved the combo.  This is the sort of FT string play I want to achieve. 
In the meanwhile, I'll keep practicing...

I recall Salvador saying there are some additional variations on martillos. 
Ta0 described them as "variations on hop the fence"

there are:
martillos (hammers)
cometas (regenerating hammers)
martillos de Salvador (maybee these are the same as cometas?)
relampagos (lightnings)
mandalas

Also I'm curious about:
espirales (spirals)
corbatines (bowties)

espirales might be similar to aracnidias?

Any others?

[ta0]

I'll be uploading a corbatines video by Salvador in the next few days.
I think you are right and spirals and arachnids are the same.

[poptop]

sweet, so sweet.

Birth of Aracnidas....

That was an awesome series, Neff.  Good job.  I am very impressed!
