This year at worlds in Orlando we will have some extraordinary freestyles from the US (Tyler Young), Mexico and Colombia. Look forward to watching the videos if you cannot come.
Spintops will get popular in the US eventually . . . just be patient and be prepared
Yeah, I’m really really liking it so far. I’ve just been getting the feel for it with the bearing, and will probably make it a fixed tip when I go back home for the weekend.
The STB2.0 has been a fixed tip since Friday, and I’m really impressed by how sturdily it jogs. My Trompo Grande must have just been giving me a bad impression of how effective fixed tips can be; I seriously hate the stock tip shape with the flat chin.
That flat chin is useful for wirewalkers, but I find it hard to use for regens. You can order up a diabolo tip for a couple bucks to replace that with - I heard that Andre has them, you just have to call YYE because they aren’t listed on the site.
