Outline of Spin Top Tricks
This list is not comprehensive (for instance there are probably quite a few picture tricks (ex. Eiffel Tower) that could be done with a top) and there is some grey area what trick belongs in what group. It is intended as a working document to outline major elements and significant variations to help a player see what they can work on or may have forgotten.
