Chapter 50 How to Play Gyro

Let's talk about playing ice gyro in cold season.

After the gyro is finished, it can be painted with colorful colors, usually with crayons, because there was no marker at that time.

Find a short stick 30-40 cm long and thick enough to be held by hand, a long rag or a thin rope, which can be thrown as a whip, that is, make a whip 60-70 cm long and beat the spinning gyro rhythmically to make it keep spinning.

You can twist the top off the ground slightly with both hands, throw it out with both hands, rotate it, and then whip it.

An experienced master, with a good sense of balance, can stand and rotate and throw it to the ground.

You can also wrap a whip rope around the gyro, gently put it on the ground so that the steel beans at the tip touch the ground, gently press one finger of your left hand in the middle of the gyro butt to straighten it, and yank the stick with the whip handle of your right hand to make the gyro rotate on the spot.

Of course, a master can also stand and pull the gyro out with a whip rope. Is this a trick or a trick?

Because I didn't know the word "Ai", I looked up the word "Ai" on the Internet and found that the explanation was a wooden toy with two sharp points in the middle. Our village called this toy "Sword 3", put it underground, hit one end with a wooden stick, let it spin and fly into the air, then sweep it with a wooden stick and hit it into the air.

Now that I think about it, it's a bit like baseball.

Alas, although I was materially poor at that time, I was really good at playing, poor and happy.
