A glove for spin top seems like a really good idea. I never use one for yoyo so I never thought to use one for tops.

This trick is pretty much the reason I started using the SA app. I really wanted to learn this one.

I was also going to say your Boomerang looks solid. Thatā€™s a nice trick.

Thatā€™s great, you have a strong spin going there! If you catch with your nth, you have more time and can go wider with your wire walk, also it is not really necessary to pop it off the string, you can kind of stall it at the end if you let the top kinda bounce off the base of your th thumb.
Looks really good though, wire walking tricks are cool.

Oh ok. I wasnā€™t sure if I had to catch it still spinning for it to count towards points on the app. I got it several times like you are describing, but this was the first one where I left it spinning. I knew I was close so I let the camera roll!

Thank you all for the kind words. This is definitely addicting lol. Itā€™s funny to watch videos from 2 weeks ago where Iā€™m fumbling to get the top to spin straight in my hand!

Ok, here is your next trick, you already have a strong enough boomerang for it!

I think despite the fact that Iā€™m using Skyrocket instead of Boomerang, I think I can get this one. Gonna try at least. :wink:

Perfect! You can also use your nth thumb, like a thumbs up, instead of your finger, I find that a little easier.
Trick looks good!

I was doing a bunch of new stuff yesterday and today, but I thought this was a pretty clean around the world with a short circuit.

Nice! Next trick? Great fundamental, when you move your throw hand back to initiate the trick, go ahead and move it back another foot or so, because at first the tendency is to not bring it back far enough.

I have been practicing some bearing stuff for the app so Iā€™ll switch back to fixed and do that by La Caida. I actually did it a few times but bad landings. So I think I can do it. Hereā€™s a combo from the app.
