    Peter - I added "one hand only" to criteria.

    Thanks Rob, yes I use the same player, I download the flv videos using Download Helper for Firefox, play the flv in VLC player at slow speed but unfortunately VLC doesn't give a frame number, only seconds - unless you know of an extension that gives the exact frame by frame timecode? That would be good for specific timing records... Another method for videos with consistent bounces is looking at the raw audio graph and counting the audio peaks visually instead of by sound.

    Hi Peter, We use the VLC media player to slow down videos that contain rapid movement. It is a great player that is compatible with Mac and PC and allows you to slow down those super speedy videos. You can DL it here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Let me know if you have any questions. Best, rob

    Sorry, this attempt has been denied because the spins in some cases aren't full revolutions, some half, some not at all, and some more than one breaking the criteria, although with that said, it is very difficult to see the spins as they go pretty fast, the video needs slowing down to see it clearly.

    Additional criteria should include only one hand, not two.

    I was going to add the criteria that it was to be done inside or with a height restriction which added to the challenge, with extra height it does make it much easier so will need to do the same now myself, but good job!
