Happy 2a Tuesday!!! I’m working on some stuff. NGL, I feel like I have regressed rather than progress but I guess there’s things I can do now that I never did before. Working on mad weavings…. Ps. I’m so in like with Duncan Hornets 🐝 right now. ---

yea you certainly look frustrated, but ur tricks are lookin great! you’re probably doing what many of us do and just being overly critical of yourself. still havent gotten around to filming my looping progress but I’m starting to lock in the feeling and i can get a few clean loops before it starts floppin like a fish outta water ---

Yomega is on the comeback, side note Raiders and Fireballs can take YYF 720 Spacers and the same K bearings. I’m starting to see them more in Box Stores as well.

Not sure, but the PB (Plastic Bearing) seat is the same. Might be a little modding to get them to your preference. But these have great weight (heavier) and the plastic has a different feel then 720s ---

Shortening the axle is the only way to get those halves closer. And getting those halves closer is the only way to really improve the response.
