Happy Friday my fixie brethren! Its a vinyl and throw evening for me. Throwing this amazing oak TMBR Sullivan that @IrJosh was so gracious to bestow me with. My first "old school " TMBR and boy does this thing have some heft! Equally good at hitting 1a as well as 0a tricks I think I’m in love lol

Always loved the look of the exotic wood eHs, I’ll have to hunt one down at some point.

Been playing with one of @RC_yo-yo yoyos and it is a fantastic little slimline.

Ive been struggling with dump-trucks after trying to learn them (thought it would be simple), and something just clicked with me yesterday while noodling around with this yoyo and I got them down. Maybe I just needed a narrower yoyo to get the feel?

It may also be weight. I can’t hot a dump truck reliably on anything over 60g, which sucks because I love my dense fixies.

I don’t have anything truly massive, but I just tried on my heaviest (TMBR Irving purpleheart) and was able to nail it. Having a tougher time on my Caveman Go, but everything is harder on that one. Though in general ive always preferred and purchased my fixies on the lighter side, and if I wanted heavier just used aluminum/Ti.

I need to get at least one ‘dense fixie’. A purpleheart Ballsy or KNack sounds like the type of stuff I don’t get, but I want one. Now that I can Spirit Bomb I want to do so on a fixie, and mine are all too light.

I asked for my Ballsy to be purpleheart, but Glen wasn’t having it :joy:. The purpleheart Harbinger is about 70g though and I CANNOT dum that truck. May just need more finesse on my end. I am heavy handed and indelicate.

At the time I didn’t have thick purpleheart stock. I do now, but I have too many other things I’m trying to accomplish. I need to make a run of Buttons and prototype a signature and collaboration yoyo.

Thanks. I’ve been playing a bit with different 1A Chopsticks, decided to see what I could do fixed. I think 2022 will see me explore a lot more of what can I do with one fixed axle yoyo

You obviously made the right call on that. The oak Ballsy is perfection. Would have been like almost 80g!

Would have been at least 90g.
