Anything goes!
My mantra for 0A is No Rules, No Points!

That being said I do like using the upgraded Proyos. Leather caps bring them into the 49-52g range and to me at least the modified slimline shape helps with tricks like that double trapeze

Wait, chaptstick? I’m new to fixed axle, what do you use chapstick for?

A swipe of chapstick on the tip of the string (the part around the axle) helps you tune your response! It can also help make a scratchy wooden axle feel smooth, but the main purpose is tuning the response!

I see. Maybe I’ll give it a try.

If your yoyo is to “Slippy” on the tug response; A lot of us put a dab of Chapstick or bees wax on the end of the loop around the axle to add more resistance and increase response.

Hi everyone! Here’s my first entry. Finally got some time and decided to participate a little. In the video are all the tricks for beginners and three Jerrod’s tricks.

Tape Measure
Trapeze Stall
MakinDaZines
Sidewinder

Banana Slide
Dolphin Flip
Ghost Trap

I chose the Duncan Special - it’s like a cheaper version of the Imperial - because I like the color, but it doesn’t play very well to be honest. Thanks to all the organizers and participants for another cool event. If I did something wrong, write, I’ll try to redo it. I hope to post something else by the end of the week. Good luck to everyone!

Sorry everybody. I have not felt good today. I’ve barely touched a yo-yo let alone the forum. I’m going to bed early and trying again tomorrow.

@Nic_from_Adelaide this style melts my brain.

Staccato loops.

We can rebuild it, we have the technology. Stronger, faster, and the low, low price of $6,000,000.

Seriously though, I’m kind of glad that the 2A players haven’t just smashed out the Hydr0A tricks. I had no frame of reference for how hard this might be
