I was practicing Makin Da Zines today. It seems like every tutorial does it slightly different, though. Anyway, I ended up getting my No Jive stuck in my hair. He earned the name Dr. Teeth. ---

Oh, yeah that had to be bad! Luckily for me, it was the string that was wrapped around the hair rather than hair around the axle. That counts as a new stall trick right? ---

After a weekend with my revived NoJive I can officially declare: wooden fix axle is hard. If feels like everything has to be 99.8% perfect at all times or it’s goes off axis or just stops rotating completely or doesn’t respond etc. While it can be a bit frustrating it’s cool when I put down the NoJive pick up my PLTPS Lite which was one of the more difficult throws for me before and nail a bunch of ticks pretty quickly. I do like the way it feels compared to bearings, you can really feel the feedback. It reminds me of my beloved Surly fixed gear bike. I’m getting a feel for string tension and rotation of the yoyo a lot more than my other throws which I believe will pay off as I gain more experience with wood axle and bearing throws. That being said I don’t know if I’ll be a 100% fixed axle player but I do have 2 other wooden fixies on the way to me. I have to have some freedom of choice, right? ---

If you participate in fixed axle February on wood next year and modern responsive March you’re likely to notice you’ll improve in consistency overall in all styles. It’s hard but rewarding ---

I love Kot’n. But, I found it early on in my fixie journey and just stayed with it, so I haven’t tried too many other cotton strings that I know of, other than what comes with whatever yoyo I buy, and none of those have ever been even close to as good as Kot’n.
