Fixed Axle February 2025 is Here! WEEK 3

OK. I’m finally getting a bit stuck. Working on Banana Slide, Dolphin Flip, Trapeze to Brother to Double.

My hands just don’t want to cooperate with me :slight_smile:

Banana slide looks like it’s really easy for everyone else, but it was very hard for me. Dolphin flip was also one that took me a long time to land.

You’ll get there, Rob! Reach out if I can help in any way.

I’ve got the Banana Slide down until the very end. The yo-yo keeps just dropping.

I’ll try to get a video up to show you soon.

That was where I struggled too. Dropping back into brother mount just would not work. I think the trick is to keep the strings pulled tight while tilting the yoyo back down, then you should be able to just drop it and reveal the brother stall.

This is what worked for me. The yoyo is mostly in the correct orientation before I let go of the tension.

Hi everyone! I am posting the remaining three tricks - this is Hydr0A with CowClops. This is something new for me, so I might have missed something. If necessary, I will correct it.

It turns out that at the moment I did all the tricks for the first three weeks.

Hydr0A with CowClops:
Venn Diagram and Staccato Loops
Trapeze and Insta Bros
Hydr0a Zipper

Well done mate, you nailed them!

I only made this up 6 weeks ago, still new to me as well. Any mistakes or variations that come up will be fine with me.

Can the butterfly be unscrewed? I got a wrap around the bearing and have been picking at it with a toothpick without success.

normal butterfly cannot be unscrewed but the xt can. if it’s a normal one you can still take it apart but it’s a bit more than just unscrewing it. here is a guide from @Sleeper80

edit: i just noticed you said bearing which would mean it’s an xt and yes they unscrew. leaving the other in case you ever need to take apart a fixie fly

Nope, just try to wiggle it apart by hand. If it won’t budge wrap a bit of paracord around the axle and yank on it til you feel something move, then it should wiggle apart.
Twisting just makes it not go back together very well
