Hey yeah, I saw your video and just had to try it. Fun idea!
I linked your original trick in the description, I like how you did the trick more actually, wanted a slower spin, but then that’s what lead me to trying it with the UFO hehe Thanks for sharing

There are certain tricks like Shovit that usually happen by accident when I’m trying to do something else.
Down the drain is one of my attempts to turn a recurring mistake into a trick that connects to another trick, keep the combo going.

Well that’s fun. Yeah, lean into the “mistake” I totally hear you there!
Actually the shoveit is a really fun move to work with.

welp, never got shipping notification from duncan but my butterfly showed up today so yay! hooray for surprise maildays! now i can start some 0a learning.
quick question tho, i started ed’s 0a tut series and with stalls, the undermount stall doesnt always wrap tightly enough to get the spin going again when i pop it out. do i need to throw it harder or am i doing something else wrong?

Two things I’ve observed that might help, but you probably aren’t doing anything wrong per se, just need to practice to get the feel for it.
The initial throw can be quite gentle compared to 1A, but when I pop it out, I have to put some extra force into my NTH pointer finger to get it spinning again. Really snap it down.
The other thing that worked for me in the beginning is to put my intercepting NTH finger much closer to my TH finger when doing the stall than Ed does to get it as wound up as much as possible. Same with the trapeze stall. After practicing a ton, I can relax that and still get a good spin again, which is better for some tricks (like kick flip).

that’s new to me and i love it! lotta cool potential there.
i have a similar idea i call mirror ball (or disco ball 
) which incorporates shuv-it elements, but it’s fundamentally different from that motion. very cool.

Oh also, I found trapeze stall much easier than undermount for some reason. Trapeze and brother make a great repeater for practicing.

Thanks @edhaponik
There’s probably going to be a lot of parallel development while I try to catch up, and it’s important to me that you know I’m not trying to take credit for anyone else’s tricks.
I won’t be on Insta until their robot stops accusing me of being a robot, and on YT I’ll often stop halfway through a video to practice a trick, then not get round to watching the last half.
I was really happy to find out you did Mach Zero years before me but chose the same name. Also cool that we’re coming at that one from two different mounts (I like yours better, I need to practice Y-mount variations that don’t just lead into a CW trick).
Happy Fixed Friday!

The peoples champ! this rules so hard, That double over kickflip whip thing at about :20 is probably one of the coolest tricks I’ve seen.

I caught a really nice trapeze stall yesterday and so I tried my first kickflip. Nope. I still have tremendous difficulty with stalls so I just don’t do 0a style play very much at all. I might never get a kickflip.
