Rules: Only one hand may be involved. List the Thumb time and the index finger’s time seperately, not combined, etc. If you can balance it dead, go for it, but it must be spinning at start. You must start with your fingers on your hubstacks and pull start it. any stacks can be used, Say which kind, though. Here are mine: Thumb: 53 seconds Index: 1 minute 50 seconds YYF stock hubstacks, GM2 Have fun! If you have a black knight you can use the dimple as well, though it probably won’t compete… Just a fun hubstack contest. ---

This is to see how long you can balance it one one finger like a pedestal. Not the longest pull start. ---

There is a name for this trick, it is called a “Spin Top Grind”. My record is 1:47 for thumb, 1:59 for index. ---

And my record on my thumb is about 5 minutes (Don’t remember the exact time) p.s. @jetboy, for future reference please use the modify button at the top right corner of your post instead of double posting. It just helps keep the topics a bit neater ;D ---
