Hmmm, when I do a front style throw with the string on top, the spin doesn’t allow for you to dismount the stall and go into an undermount. What do you think I’m doing wrong? Do I throw it with the string on the bottom? EDIT: Logi has the same issue: > [@Logi](#): > > For some reason, on the backhand stall the yoyo ends up wrapped the wrong way. So if I threw it off my hand, it would spin the opposite of a sleeper (no duh). > > ??? ---

> [@Logi](#): > > I sent Ed a pm last night, no reply yet… It would make sense if the string had to be thrown when under the yoyo. I watched the video to confirm if this is the case, and it is if you watch the direction the string rotates around the yoyo. ---

That makin-da-zines regen is shameful… But I do honestly at least confidently think it counts (even if it’s ugly) Ed, you’re making me work out. Everyone else, sorry for the sweaty mess. ;D Hope I can get a strong enough signal while camping to shoot for next round! ---

I just want to say thank you to Ed and YoYoExpert for doing this contest! When I saw round 3, 5, 6 and even 8 I thought I was going to not make it to the next round. Ed has pushed my fixed axle skills way further than I would have taken them. I’m sure fixed axle with become part of my everyday life after this. Anddddddddddd I did it.

Dang, you guys are killing this. I tried for 3 hours and couldn’t even get round one, haha. 😛 I can see this being the genesis of the fixed axle uprising. In 10 years time we’ll have people coming on here posting threads like this: > [@](#): > > Back throwing after 10 years, what has changed? > > Hey, so I’m back yo-yoing after 10 years. The last yo-yos I bought where the Onedrop CiTizen and YYF Dream Titanium, are these still any good? I notice everyone is throwing wood now, it’s amazing how far yo-yoing has come. I bought a TMBR Baldwin because I just saw that Iori Yamaki used it to win worlds 2025, but I’m looking to move into high end bi-wood territory (I saw that YYR have just released a Maple/Purpleheart hybrid that looks amazing… shame about the price tag though…).
