My coworker shot me throwing a boomerang and doing an arm walk this morning. He had no idea I was gonna pitch the top back to my hand, so excuse the brief out of frame.

Nice arm walker! I always had trouble with that trick, maybe because I got arms like Olive Oyl?

Thanks!  
I definitely feel like I had a 1 up on the learning curve for that(thankfully). Contact Juggling skills contributed greatly.  
Now to figure out how to finish wirewalker. I can get on the ride and cross, but am having trouble getting back off.

That’s the easy part, straighten your arm out quicker and it will hop it up to your hand.

The hop back on the arm walk is no problem :+1:

It’s getting the top out of a wirewalk that’s tripping me up. I can tell it’s the string pressure, I’m getting closer.

Gerardo kinda bounces it off his fingers or thumb, but on a lighter top you can just kind of hop it off while you let the string slack, or if you tip your catch hand enough you can catch it still in the string loop, then slack the string and hop it out.

This is a pretty good list of classic tricks. There are tons of new tricks over the past few years.

Here’s me doing that trick on a “Western?” spin top.

Not sure if that worked? If it did, the kids were excited because I hit it three times in a row. The teacher of my son’s class wanted to video it, and I’d already done it twice.

I agree, a fantastic video!

I had the idea to juggle tops a long time ago, and I was trying to keep it on my foot like he did. I didn’t persevere tho…

Koma is a really fun top. I suggest trying one of you haven’t.

And if anyone is interested I just listed these on the BST.

People have mixed feelings about this video because it would be almost impossible to stick with tops long enough to learn these tricks with an Imperial top, but I think it’s fun to revisit the runt of the Duncan line up to try some expert tricks.

This YouTube channel has some great instructions. This trick is really fun to try. I got about 5 in a row this afternoon. Tried it with various tops, it makes a huge difference in how it feels.
