Sorry if this has been asked but can I use a TMBR Sullivan? It has a wooden axle it’s fixed but the axle does have two parts, to turn the yoyo into imperial or butterfly shape. ---

> [@GoodBoyGirl](#): > > Sorry if this has been asked but can I use a TMBR Sullivan? It has a wooden axle it’s fixed but the axle does have two parts, to turn the yoyo into imperial or butterfly shape. Sullivan is pretty much the fixedest yoyo ever. Absolutely. ---

Ok so I saw the clip on Instagram before seeing this thread. This actually inspired me to go back and mess around with a fixed axle. Ended up borrowing a wooden axle from a Duncan Limelight and stuck it inside one of my Mosquitos which feels perfect for messing around. Having not ever done a stall before and watching the clip for about 30 seconds or so, I already nailed the trapeze stall! Now to work on the rest of it before I rig a GoPro up to me 🙂 ---

Sorry, I have no time to look at all the entries… 🙂 I did on a Fidalgo… which is a metal axle… but it’s a metal throw also. ---

Got out my 2014 Eh, got the camera focus in check and over an hour of filming later, I’ve got a submission you can see. And PSA: don’t start smoking kids, it’s a horrible habit and is much harder to kick than you’d think!

I can’t view all the vids because I’m on the road, but what I HAVE seen is just SO RAD. You have no idea how amazing it is to see so many people nailing this stuff. So cool and exciting and vindicating, and it makes me thrilled for the future of fixed axle (which for a LONG time, felt like it only had a past). THANKS to everyone giving it a shot. … I will note that I’ve always been kinda old school both as a player and as a judge. So if you’re not hitting the trick the way I do it or you’re not hitting it cleanly and clearly, be advised I’m the ladder judge all the kids dread. :wink: 19 hours and 42 minutes, give or take! ---

Skinny, your first one was clear enough to see, but it’s good you got your camera figured out. Anyways, I got a late start to this party. I can get everything except that last roll in the flyaway dismount. I would keep trying, but I don’t have a great way to film anyways. Regardless, looking forward to seeing everybody’s submissions throughout this contest! I’ll still be trying to land each round, just not participating. ---
