Oh that’s not me, that’s the man behind TMBR Colin Leland playing a Purple Heart Irving back in 2011. I just figured out how to only do a couple in a row. Neutral tension keep it smooth, roll completely over the TH before release, stay confident and catch, repeat. I’ve also have landed into a stall, but not under constant control yet. Having fun with this element.

I compiled this a while back: > [@Revisiting Ed Hoponik's Fixed Axle Challenge](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/revisiting-ed-hoponiks-fixed-axle-challenge/81152): > > I missed this at the time. I’m not sure how far I would have gotten, especially with the time constraints, but I would have tried it for sure. I think it’s a great series of tricks, and a worthwhile challenge even without deadlines. I thought it would be nice to compile them all on one thread, so that they are easier to access. Thanks Ed! Round 1: [http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,83783.0.html](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,83783.0.html) Round 2: [http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,83849.0.html](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,83849.0.html) Round 3: [http:/…](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,83912.0.html) Unfortunately a lot of the videos are no longer available, but it’s still a good resource. I was going to try to get through it, but it got real hard, real fast for me! BTW, @Logi, who was the runner up, has posted some amazing whip/laceration tricks on a fixed axles. Haven’t seen him around… ---

That is awesome! Lol that contest was STRESSFUL. It was tough to think of sequentially more difficult tricks to hit. I kinda hated to finish it on loops, but those guys were deadlocked and I was leaving the country lol. Would be interesting to try it again now that the 0a scene has evolved a bit. It definitely pulled some folks into it at least for a while. ---
