Ok, here’s what i got. Guest trick, makin the zines x2 which is pretty phoned in, and trap bro to double or nothing. I still cant be bothered to figure out zipper stalls. Using a butterfly I dyed, polished concave axle, and weight adjusted to about 53 grams. Kitty xl.

FAF Week 2 was a fun one - all 5 tricks. 3 of these tricks were new for me : bucket and zipper stalls + the interrupted flip. But landing flips on the string are my jam so I threw in the interrupted kick flip too. :blush:
Edit: the hardest one for me was actually the zipper stalls, it took me almost all week to get. I don’t do the under mount much so it was hard to get the feel for it. Great to be challenged!

I did a bit more editing this week with iMovie on my phone - ‘twas fun! Thanks again everyone for another good week!

Performed on my trusty fixie-mod RBC. :blueberries:

Here is my clip of the 4 tricks for week 2
Had a much harder time than i thought I would, took days of trying, and multiple yoyos to get them all.
A couple of trick are kind of sketch, but I’m too tired of practicing the same 4 tricks to fix them.
I used the fixed RBC for the bucket stall.
I have a glued bearing on the way from @Xanadu. But i had already bought a replacement bearing to glue myself, i couldn’t get the shields off. So i punched them into the bearing at 4 or 5 spots per side. Worked perfectly.
Thanks again to all the sponsors and volunteers!

Ah yes, please forgive the music choices. Just choosing what was available. And trying to figure out the video editor.
