did they beyblade 200 years ago? - flamerx1231 - Jun. 13, 2009
actully they did. i came back from bouston and before bouston we went to rhode island. the gift shop had a sort of top. its like a whip. u put a 4 ft string spinning around the top. then throw it while holding the edge. kids used to put a nail on the top while spinning and the other kid spins his on top of it to make the top with the nail break in 2! then in bunker hill a top with a launcher and shoelace. it looked amazing.also if u seen anything like this write in the thread. no stupid spam.

Yes, spinning tops were played with way before beyblade, they were called Beygoma's. Beyblade is the "revamp" of the toy. We all knew this. BTW, they played with them longer than 200 years.

It doesn't mean we can't still leave the topic open and discuss it. XD I was just saying, didn't mean to be rude.

Spinning tops have been a part of most civilizations. It's actually really interesting stuff.

Wow that article was fantastic! The greatest thing is ever after centuries of times have passed were still fascinated by the simple spinning top.
RE: did they beyblade 200 years ago? - Pich - Jun. 13, 2009
That is pretty interesting. I'm suprised at how many different kinds there are. I wanna go see that top that flips when spun.
EDIT: ^^^ That as well, spinning tops will fascinate people for a long time, I think. They are just so interesting XD

RE: did they beyblade 200 years ago? - Khel - Jun. 13, 2009
I love string tops, I have one in my basement. I need to pull it out and practice again.
But the best I ever got as a kid was just launching it; I didn't know any tricks. A traditional game my dad taught me was one person would launch their wooden top, and the other person would try and launch theirs on top of it, knocking it out. Since the main top was wood and the tip was iron sometimes the other wooden top would split in two.
Thank god they were dirt cheap.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_top
"In recent years there have been many developments with the technology of the top. Bearing tops, with a tip that spins, have been one of the biggest changes. Fixed tip tops are featured in National Championshipse=March 200567" ....Anyone else realize how much fail this part is?
RE: did they beyblade 200 years ago? - Bey Brad - Jun. 17, 2009
hahaha i couldn't figure out what that part meant

Well tbh, the spinning tops are as old as the civilization itself
You can see it for yourself if you have the chance to visit the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations where wooden tops are displayed in the exhibit of the Hittite Empire which was estabilished in 2000 BC

I am tempted to make a Beigoma style arena (forget what they're called) for the FanExpo meet-up...

My grandpa tells me that he use to play with tops, but back in his time they use to make their own tops, as we call it today is customizing.. But we just get parts of other beyblades and put them with more parts.. Plus the new ones are made of metal, my grandpa's were made of wood.. He showed me his collection, the Legend in the making *tear* lol.. But weird, when u compare mine to his, they kinda look the same, the Attack Rings had pointed ends.. And as a Bit beast, they used coins, "GO President Lincoln" lol..
RE: did they beyblade 200 years ago? - Bey Brad - Jun. 18, 2009
Haha, what does he think of Beyblades?
RE: did they beyblade 200 years ago? - Gadget - Jun. 18, 2009
He wishes we had a President Lincoln Bit-Beast probably...
