Re: Boo Hoo

Just read this.... Really sorry for your lost tops, Kirk...
I have a very low tolerance threshold on robbery, I am a usually calm person, but when it gets to injustice I really get mad.

This said, this once again proves that this community is wonderful! I've seen quite a few acts like these in ...

Re: 2013 European Contest in Budapest and Worlds Prague

Yes, I was one of the first to enter, with lots of enthusiasm, and this morning my enthusiasm crashed against a delayed project plan at work.
Apparently the weekend the european contest is taking place will see me working bleakly in Italy on the roll-out of a project that was due on the first days ...

Re: Silly, SILLY weekend!

I'm glad you guys found it entertaining, I wish we could have weekends like that more often! ;D
Instead, I must quote Mojo's words, unfortunately work VERY often gets in the way of the more important things, like top spinning... >:(

Re: Got Milk (jugs)?



Then I found out about the requirement list, and my hopes of ever getting one fell...... I wonder if it would be possible to have an international requirements list... something one can fulfill without having to live in the US? ::)

Re: Got Milk (jugs)?

I have been reading this thread with huge interest, I absolutely love the idea, and the results are impressive in their quality (visually speaking, of course, that's all I can observe from here...).

Re: Favorite top?


I used to compete with a Spintastics Hollow Point modded with a YYJ Bulldog cap and my own tip (imagine a smaller Hybrid QuickSilver with the diabolo tip). It is still my favorite top to use.

I'd soooooo want to get a Hollow Point.... Any chance of finding one out there? ::)

Sorry for the ...

Re: [Trick] Mirror crazy eights

Thank you guys! ;D
I too like the symmetry, it came out nice, and it's the reason why I throw the two tops "mirrored" rather than in twin mode...

You're absolutely right about screwing it up on stage, Ta0, it's exactly what happened.... I'll keep it as a "wow" trick for relaxed performances, rather ...

[Trick] Mirror crazy eights

This was supposed to be the trick to end my freestyle at Italian nats, if only that left hand top had unwound better... ::)

The two STB have mirrored OWB, and are wound in opposite directions.
