I hit a triple kick flip once. it was quite incredible; after landing it I immediately received an award from the state, and the president wanted me to sign him an autograph. I also started receiving cheques in the mail, not from the state but rather from my many fans, I couldn’t keep them off my back; Ferraris and other fancy cars started appearing in my yard, which I would sell in order to build orphanages in every country. I also started the “Trip-Kik-Flip” foundation to help those less fortunate land their very own kickflips, just not triple kick flips, that was a title that belonged only to few. Everything was incredible, I had everything somebody could want… a large house, a loving family, a great job, and even extremely high water pressure, one could say, I was living the dream… …literally… I woke up, confused and disappointed. true story.\* ---

> [@kretzschmar](#): > > tell me your secrets Yo for kickflips here’s some tips— Its all about the toss like when you get a good toss, you can barely move nth index and the loop will go right back on it You want to swing the yoyo forward and up like very 3D The loop will naturally come off your finger like that Try to toss it and know where it will finish the rotation but the main thing is to focus on the toss Also make sure tension is neutral ---

There is a saying that goes: _"A man is only as cool as his yoyo, unless he is using a Keyhole, then he will never be as cool, but_ _ **is** _ _made_ _ **much** _ _cooler with it."_ It was something like that I think, keep in mind I _am_ paraphrasing. ---

Thank goodness you did! It’s so fun. I am having a slight difficulty with response. If I keep it moving good, it’s perfect. If I mess up or slow down too much, it slips to the end of the string and can be a little hard to roll up. But once I get the response engaged again, it’s back to playing great. I have a feeling that playing in the cold has something to do with it. It’s still so freakin good though. How is it so good. My eyes say, that ain’t playing good. My hands are like 🥰🥰🥰 ---

Interesting. Same string I sent on it? I think so but can’t be sure from the video. I added a little lube to the string end and tested response before sending it, but that was tested in my office indoors. Might try a little more lube or chapstick, especially if it’s a different string that hasn’t been treated. ---

It was happening with the one that was on it, so I switched to alphaline slathered in bee balm, and it was still doing it. I’m talking with neutral tension. If I tighten the tension up, it responds better obv so I might just be impatient and need to play it tightened up and slowly back it off. I’ve only had like 20 solid minutes with it. I don’t know why I didn’t think of any of this til just now lol. Sorry! ---

The “stone heart”, as I’ve decided to name it, actually plays fantastic for what it is. I’m kind of amazed at the tricks I can do with it. The only other one I’ve had time with so far is the orc. I can feel its potential but the face definitely catches the string once in awhile and gets a little snaggy. It’s still fun as heck though. Oh! And the blanks! Don’t even get me started on the blanks. My deep state is now playing the best it ever has. Love deep state fixie. I swapped out the blank I had in my rbc, which was just flat, for one of yours, and hooo doggy…. Plays like a dream. I also put one of the A blanks in my YYN fhz, and it finally plays! I’ve tried everything to get that sucker to come back. Nothing worked until now. I’m loving that too. And I still have so much more stuff in the box to get through and try lol. Today was my Christmas, I decided. And Santa Sickburn delivered big time 😊 ---

I have picked a few good words to describe Andy… Altruistic, Benevolent, and Magnanimous seemed to be a good fit. I’ve heard them say they don’t want to turn their hobby into a business, but at this point it’s practically become a charity, and gosh am I thankful. Thank you for everything, @AudreySickburn!

Hey - any preferred tools for getting out axle knots out of thin-gapped fixies? I say this because I’m in a hotel room right now with only one Duncan Butterfly as my fixie and I was just going to try to record for FAF and then got an axle knot and broke both cocktail-picks that I had on me trying to get it out.
