These guys are amazing. They really make Beyblades appear to be super exciting. I am not sure I could ever have as much fun as them but there are a couple of things here I would like to try with my grandkids.

I have only watched the first one so far, but the long distance water skipping is incredible. :o 8) From my experience with tops and water I would have guessed the beyblade would have been stopped in a short distance. I'm very surprised and I need to try it.

When they do the half pipe looping the loop ("rainbow of the wrap wall of the burst" :P) at 7:22 I was for a second surprised as I was expecting it to behave as a slot car, forgetting about the conservation of spin axis orientation :-[

Thanks, Ludo! Some very impressive shots. The water-skipping shots were my favorites as well.

Those guys sure know how to have fun! Wonder how many energy drinks they had to chug to get so, well, energetic. :o

The spring edition (Gibbs never had the advantage of Youtube):

Some of those shots must have taken an insane number of tries!

My favorite so far. Totally unbelievable shots, but they look real.

It would probably take a NASA supercomputer a month to calculate all the launch parameters needed for a successful five-bounce shot. Along a curved path no less! And building a gizmo with enough precision to execute the launch would be even harder.

Which makes the guy in the red shirt all the more astounding!

Re: Spintastics versus Beyblade

Post by ta0 »

Ha! Nice to see that they are exposing the beyblade crowd to spintops! (1.7 million views) 8)
The blizzard is, of course, at an disadvantage on these collisions against the low center of mass beyblade. But in real "trick shots" the beyblade would have not chance.

The guy in green has good aim. He has an unusual way of winding, holding the top with the right (throwing) hand while wrapping with the left hand. Probably a consequence of being self-taught.

Seems like an understatement.

Love their unbridled enthusiasm but pity anyone who has to live with them.
