If you wanted to use skateboard terminology it would be like a Sex Change where you land in the opposite stance. So a 5a Sex Change Kickflip. ---

My assumption is there must be a 5a trick (cross-arm to trapeze suicide w hands switching) like this which already has a name. So this would just be a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Kickflip. I just don’t know what it is. ---

The [OG Wheels](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/fixed-axle-friday-throws/294546/436) play nice and stout coming in around 60 grams, have a snappy response to them and are great for STM. The 2016 Wheels were definitely a bit of a let down as a rebranded version 1 Butterfly XT and even lighter with the cut out caps. I do like the bearing sleeve they came with though for other throws like the Bolt 2, and have also put in a Full Spec C and added rubber weight rights under the hub caps of my 2016 Wheels to make it somewhat playable. But it will never come close to the OG Wheels. From a collection point of view there are also a lot of fun variants of the older Wheels, even a [Speed Racer](http://www.yoyomuseum.com/museum_view.php?action=view&subaction=exhibit&exhibitid=3033) version ---

Nice work! The Deep State is generally considered “semi-responsive.” Fixed axle would be something like a TK No-Jive which has an axle that doesn’t move. Unless you have a bearing blank in the Deep State. ---

Uh, what? Yeai-uh! Okay! Just landed a double kickflip (beech KNack of course)! Damn that trick is hard, but soo satisfying. Anybody have tips on heelflips? I can barely get the yoyo to flip that way, let alone catch it. ---

Playing this BC Black Silver Striped Painted 3 and 1 No Jive from the late nineties again. This is one of my older yoyos that has inspired my yoyo journey. It is my standard to measure how far I have come and how far I can take it. My [YYE Type 10](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/100-count-100-cotton-yoyoexpert-string) string is nice and broken in, so I’m ready to jam and push my personal envelope. By the way normal length [Type 10](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/products/100-count-100-cotton-yoyoexpert-string) is sold out, hope there is a restock planned soon @YoYoExpertGarrett. ![20200424_095217](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/9/0/d90372374ee7693cfb901b030c3404aad24cae29.jpeg) ![20200424_095235](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/0/3/403c17e05cc3f47dc520f094477d1a2d4715335a.jpeg) ---

When I first saw the Freehand concept back in the early 2000s I thought it was so amazing that I tried it out with a Playmaxx Turbo Bumblebee and used a wine cork for a counterweight. Last May I ready focus on 5A and had a very progressive month. Now that the 5.0A is a growing style off of the modern responsive movement; what better way to kick of Friday May 1st than with some fixed axle freehand. Duncan Pro Fly and a Duncan Yellow Ball on some Yellow Cotton Duncan strings. I know 5A is now free, but I still like to Throw Duncan @bjardin ![20200501_074031](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/3/a/c3aefefb2f93060088c9115ed26eae38fdf9ca0d.jpeg) ---

I’m throwing this ProFire (ProYo) a lot in an attempt to wear in the friction stickers so it doesn’t buzz and vibrate the string so much. I also sanded it to a lovely frosted look: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/6/9/169cc1424cdc9aaed1529123ebff751865251278.jpeg) ---

Cool - unlike the ProYo, ProFire was technically a transaxle with the brass sleeve able to spin freely. Still fun and the fixed axle police aren’t ticketing. ---

Ah, I thought maybe the brass bit got clamped down by the spacers and didn’t spin. ---
