Hi Rachel, I saw that you already got answer by some fellas! @Sleeper80 is right: actually in this video there isnā€™t much sleep because I keep mount and unmount. Anyway as @Eric_Newlin said: playtime will smooth the inner gap and help you get a little longer spintime. I also use to apply very little lipstick to the string loop, but be careful because if you exceed the yoyo will became ultra responsive and you have to throw quite some time to wear it off again šŸ˜… ---

It isnā€™t easy for me (or any of us, I guess). We just have had the luxury of time to practice playing with yo-yos. Also, there are a few of us who joined Ed Haponik on his deHcade revisit of only throwing a single fixed axle yoyo for a whole year. All of the tricks for week 1 were go to tricks for me last year when I just needed to zone out and throw ---

I had started getting ā€œOKā€ at Trapeeze stalls with Modern Responsive. This fixed axel is way more of a Challenge for me. I am finding, even if I land the Trapeeze stall, I struggle to get it back to my hand after the dismount. Is a Trapeeze Stall, Dismount, regen, catch acceptable for a entry? I am no where near the other 3 tricks yet. But they are on the To-Do list. Never Give up, Never Surrender. ---

something i do to make sure i get enough spin to return is use my non throw hand to try to throw it down harder after popping out of the trapeze stall to get more spin to return to my hand, i also do it going into a regen. but iā€™ve also been familiar with fixies for a long time and practicing these new 0a tricks since summer last yearā€¦ next couple weeks are looking scary to me. ---

Ok, I think I finally got a usable trapeze stall. If I manage to get another trick in, would it be ok for me to update this post before 11:59 pm EST on the 3rd? (Iā€™m in Australia and just realised technically I still have another day to work on these!)
