What’s it called if you Lunar and Kickflip to a Trapeze Stall? BTW, I am so glad that the second word that used to be more often included with Kickfilp seems to be dropping away. ---

I usually call that Lunar Landing, Kickflip out. Kind of default to skate jargon when possible lol. Interesting that when what we think of as the Suicide was invented it called “Suicide Catch” and it was part of a bigger Paul Escolar trick called Hitchiker. Back then with responsive yo-yo’s it would have a tendency to bite in the middle and smack you - that and it’s similarity to diabolo suicides gave it the name. NOW unresponsive yo-yo’s are usually too forgiving to snag on that trick and of course fixed axles often aren’t even spinning, so they can’t. I think it got shortened to Kickflip just for convenience, and because what Drew invented led to a whole dimension of tricks which have nothing to do with Paul’s trick besides the loop. It’s fun to look at how tricks and their vocabulary evolve. ---

Great stuff! 🙂 I have recently been hitting regular kickflips and gradually getting more consistant. It is soooo satisfying isn’t it? 🙂 ---

My birthday gift to myself came in today - the Moonshine 2! This thing has some weight but it’s a joy to play. It’s width feels comfy in the hand Landed some of my first Stop n Pops on it too! Out of the box I did have to lube it up a bit as it was not responsive enough for me but now it’s great! ![20200220_134611](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/4/b/44b689795db19fb0dfcc4f77bfc3ced518c7cec5.jpeg) Interesting design choice to have half solid and half fade but I like it. The fade aids me in seeing how much it’s spinning while having a solid half shows me which way it’s facing when I’m doing things like planet hops or plane changing tricks like kickflips. Update - Lunar landings are pretty easy with this now (thanks to its width) that I got to try it for a few minutes since writing this post. I also did 1 dump truck. Wasn’t pretty but the width helped it change plans easier than a slimline. ---

Had hopes in filming a successful stop 'n hop but it needs work before I decide to get behind the camera again (recording tricks still builds up that rage level as I continuously miss). This said, I had still been refining zipper stall-like moves. I also love doing tape measures on the Moonshine as it feels like it just glides in the hand. So why not do both (and work on my form)? And I just now noticed I always seem to end my 0a stuff with a last little regen/zine just to give it some flare 🙂 [https://www.instagram.com/p/B80GNEOhlkC/](https://www.instagram.com/p/B80GNEOhlkC/) ---

Right!? I mean I’m not the worst, but holy moly they’re on another level of finesse I can’t even fathom. My wife tells me I can’t 0a so good because I lack delicacy. Per usual she is correct. Maybe one day I’ll stop guzzling coffee and be able to relax enough and hit one of the finer examples EOS and Ed are putting in the universe. ---

Hah! Yeah she only says things like that when I ask her if it looks wrong. Like she was watching Ed do the Bowlarama way back when I first started trying out fixie things, then watched me do it, and said “what did that yoyo ever do to you?” Clearly the banana hands aren’t helping, lol. ---
