Great memories driving up to go snowboarding with my buddy when we were in high school while listening to this album. Good song, good album, good times!
It is clear by the footage that it was first pulled from the bottom which causes a drag motion first and then the cup tips. This suggests that a string could have been used from the opposite side which is never shown through the various camera angles.
Thank you Sage for all of your music over the years it has meant a lot.
