[JordanAP96]

Thanks for the help. I have a wooden top like the first one, and I tried it about 20 times and it worked 5 times out of 20. Needless to say my top got pretty banged up, but it only took a bit of sandpaper and it's fine now!

Where can You get a bearing system top??

[Katona123123]

GREAT!!! but you probably didn't know that on you first try with the wooden, if you kept it spinning, you would've done a skyscraper trick.

[Kalecommando]

Thanks I used your tutorial to "re-learn" how to spin a top. Then I taught it to my five year old daugher, and she managed to succeed on her first try! Look for "Freya Spinning Top" on Youtube. Thanks a lot!

Hey where can i get a bearing system one?

I got a duncan one today and its pretty cool

[darkness2197]

the game you are talking about we play!

its called smash where i come from and how its played is someone spins it then someone has to try and hit theirs. then they ake turns

[koolkat214]

@darkness2197 cool before i went to usa, when i was on philippines my friends and i always play smash. we don't call it smash, i used smash so you know what game im talking.

[darkness2197]

aswell we have a smash trick where you just smash the spnning top on the floor an it starts to spin!

[elipepsibook3]

i got 4 from the philippines and theres is a nail that sticks out about an inch and a half and to trow it you can grab it by placing the tip on your thumb then your index and middle finger on the top of the top the throw it straight down to the florr like if you were throwing a ball at the floor

[cowgirlSam]

I like your cat like reflexes in the beginning ;)

[andyt2296]

so wheni throw it right away when it comes out of my hand pull it back?

[skillteacher]

Yes, and try different anles when you pull back to see which one works best. Good Luck.

[andyt2296]

how do you pull it back up and can you do it with a wooden tip thanks really hope you reply

[skillteacher]

Practice pulling it back up by throwing it as usual start then as soon as it is released from the hand, pull your hand back opposite the throwing direction. Practice on a large grass area so you can find the perfect motion. Wooden tops will work but are much harder to keep spinning on the hand.

[HankJMH]

Excellent explanations and demonstrations. Thanks!

[unholypenguin4]

wow that looks hard

[scjason420]

cool video. my dad always liked tops.

[OldArmyZeke]

Thanks for the new video. It is just what I need to get started.

BTW, It is obvious that you are a "teacher" because your video has good up-close details and clear, step-by-step narrative. Oh, that all tutorials were so well produced and photographed.

I suspect that your students learn a lot and enjoy every bit of it.

[skillteacher]

I am so glad these videos helped, and many thanks for your skill request.
