Manipulating a string with 2 weights on either end, one being gyroscopic, by being flung around, thrown airborne, and so on, all while having fun. (5A) Manipulating a free-flying and spinning gryoscope via a long twisted poly/cotten object, all while having fun. (4A) Everything else: Manipulating a tethered gyroscope and having fun doing so. ---

Many days I feel like I have a string tied around my mid-section and I’m spinning around and being pulled up and down and thrown about. Oh wait, I’m married. My bad.

something very deep on an individual level, that is shared with a very vast range of very different and unique people. it’s an art, it’s a sport, it’s meditation, it’s a toy, but before anything else, it’s about people getting together, no matter the age, race, nationality, religion, social group or education.
