The Trompo is a Mexican top toy. the trompo was passed down to me by my father when I was six years old. At that time I had no clue on what I was supposed to do with a foreign object and a peice of string, but he showed me I had to wrap the string around the top and toss it and pull back the string towards youself to make the top spin. My dad told me it was a popular toy during his time but it takes alot of trial and error to get it right. He always told me just because somthing is difficult, you should´t give up right away.
