nice! and heck yea, confusion is mad fun! is it the hubstacked version?
I didn’t even know they made a hubstack one (outside of the Little Confusion). I just snagged this older “beater” Confusion on FB BST for $11 shipped. I’m waiting on some blanks from Amazon to arrive to turn it into a fixie. Honestly I had it sitting off to the side but was struggling greatly with the Weekender to land a stall - spent too long trying to perfect a 1A breakaway to wrap my head around a super gentle 0A breakaway stall. But I’m finally breaking that mental barrier. I for some reason decided to set the Weekender down and pick up the Confusion and the weight/size difference was just enough that it started clicking - at least a little.
Sure thing, dude. We are all the fourth horse in one way or another. The trick is seeing the value in it.
I don’t know if this counts as a mod or maintenance. But I just switched my beloved Butterfly XT from sewing machine oil to silicone grease.
Absolute game changer, I have loved my XT from first throw, but as the starburst broke in its responsiveness was failing. Add some silicone grease and it plays like my Weekender.
Sorry if im way too excited for this, I started 0A as a new year resolution and have been having more fun than I thought
… but i’m a creep… i’m a weeeeirdo….
This one’s giving “Bathe the Gerbil” vibes.
Remember that one, Mr. Haponik?
You’ve got a Fixie in your hands and someone says “Do a Trick”…
What’s your goto?
GRAVITY PULL!
Unless I’m feelin’ a lil’ crazy that day, then FORWARD PASS
bounce house or banana slide! both are fun and very flashy
I know neither of these by these names and my Google-foo is letting me down. So I can’t tell if this is a serious reply or in jest. Got any tutorial videos handy?
Banana Slide
Only that one because I’m afraid bounce house is akin to boingy boing and I absolutely, vehemently despise that trick. However, I found the above by searching within the YYE forum
Thanks - I don’t know why I didn’t start searching here. I usually jump to YT and then Google itself - and I was finding Banana Turnover and Bouncy Castle - both are not 0A.
And after searching here - where I should have started - I found Bounce House.
Okay - 2 new tricks to learn.
Fwiw, if I learn about it on YYE forums, I’m going to search within YYE forums first.
Not boingy boing, but it still involves bouncing, and that’s a sin. Heresy if you will
Somethin like:
Honestly Split the Atom is tech enough to melt 99% of non-initiated brains. Loop into a little Varial and throw in a Fly-away Shoot-the-Moon and you’ve got a nice little automatic combo w somethin for everyone.
Dude you are so out of my league. But it’s awesome to watch!
Split the Atom on a No Jive is craaazyyy!
Right!!! I can barely keep enough spin to split the atom on my weekender, let alone a fixie. Ugh…
