Yes. Fixed axle. The trick doesn’t require an excess of spin, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

WOOOOOOHHHHH! Bonus appearance by @bheinz63! Nice job bud!

Never got around to submitting last week, though I did work on dumptrucks. Still struggling with getting it on the outside of my arm - which I know isn’t necessary but that’s how I see the trick. Anywho, might still submit an entry later, since I won the draw in week 2 :pray:, I no longer need to live in the confines of deadlines. :laughing:

Nice work on this guys! Looking forward to trying some of these.

Question, @YoYo-Boomer-Club, are bearings manditory for MRM? :thinking:
