The forgotten Malay traditional game Flying Gasing

Hello everyone in this video we witnessed something pretty cool.
Gasing Terbang or flying tops, have you heard of it? Probably yes if you are from Malaysia, if you are not, allow us to quickly explain:
Gasing Terbang is a game where one person throws the spinning top that weights 4kg onto a platform, that spinning top then flies off of that platform that is normally elevated from the ground and then a second person tries to catch the top/disk whilst it's up in the air, the reason the spinning top flies off of the platform is because the man who throws it uses such a amazing technique, first he throws the spinning top and as the top is nearly touching the platform he pulls the rope and then magic happens.
These tops/disks then spin for approximately 2 hours and the team that gets the top/disk to spin the longest time wins.
All of this sounds easy right? Wrong! There's a lot of technique, strength and preparation involved, these gentlemen use a rope that is stretched and covered with a sticky substance and the most incredible thing about this sport is that the top is caught up in the air.
This is one of the things that are best explained and understood when you actually see it and that's why you shouldn't be reading this but watching the video 😜
Anyway after watching the gentleman performing or showing us the game we had a go at battling tops where a young kid put us all to shame, great fun and games but it didn't end there. Do you remember the potatoes that we bought on our previous video? We finally had them in all sort of shapes and forms, in all the possibly aways known to humans. Delicious or should we say Sedap!
Hope you enjoyed this video, if you did subscribe. Where this one came from, there's more ;)
