Tops & Yo-yos |

We are looking for more yo-yo players for a yo-yo day here at St. Jacob. It is a long wait until next August’s Whirled Top Festival in Miamisburg. So to tide us over until then we are going to have a yo-yo contest on the second weekend of February. Word is spreading and interest among local yo-yoers is growing. We are in contact with Mark Hayward and he says he can attend to give us tips and to judge the event. You may have seen Mark on the David Letterman show. Here is his website: www.markhayward.net He suggests the following tricks for the contest. Try to learn one trick at a time as they get harder down the list:
Here are some great top spinning links....... Miamisburg.org - highlights from our recent top festivals including pictures clips and more Spintastics - Lots of information and great tops (there are even some yo-yos there) www.itopspin.com - this is a forum where you can talk with top spinners around the world! Woodtops - Alan Gray’s handmade wooden tops ta0.com - This site has great information and is run by our good friend Jorge! What a great night of spinning was had at the 10th annual Whirled Top Festival in August of 2009. We didn’t have as many teams as last year but we still had ten teams of three people competing for the 100 gold dollar coins ($100). We didn’t have the world champion of Top Spinning, like we did a couple years ago with Matt Ritter but we did have a guy who was second the last two years (our very own Pastor Hout). See the pictures at the link below. Thanks, Jay, for doing our website. He even included some clips! It’s all at: 2007 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS FINAL RESULTS: TOP TOP SPINNERS AT INDIAN RIFFLE IN KETTERING: Matt B, Noah G, Rebecca M, Kaitlyn N, and Malika E TOP TOP SPINNERS AT ST.
