YES!!! This has to be one of my fav looking top tricks. I can sort of do that cork screw thing around your arm but the top gets one turn around and then flies off the string 😃

My yard is uneven on that side, and i dropped the red top and it was rolling near where I was stepping, and I was excited to have nearly completed the trick (gotta catch them both)… but no, I didn’t fall down.&nbsp; I did fall down at the end of this one though:

LOL nice video! I think a lot of people do that. They finally get that crazy trick they’ve been working on for a week, they do it, go “OMG” and then it goes down hill from there…

The first time I hit split bottom mount way back when, I immediately tripped over my own foot, stubbed my toe, dropped my yoyo, and there was no milk in the fridge.

That’s nothing…I did an around the world and the string snapped and lets just say they documented it in the movie “black hawk down”.
