Not generally a 5a player, so not a lot to contribute, but here are a few from a 5a May many moons ago. The real value I see in 0a-5a is in its capacity for “Death From Above”.
EDIT: lol these are so old it won’t even give thumbnails? You’ll just have to trust me.

Can’t wait for that!
Just.wow.
oh snack!
Super upset that Luftverk keeps doing this. He’s gotta stop pricing these things so appropriately. Like throw me a bone and stop putting the correct value on your hard work so I can afford it!
/S
this is up now, and available
Daytona SB came out super good. Unites so many elements I love about the 650b, Weekender, DeepState and the body has that super comfy CFGT feel… also Ti (lol). He def knocked it out.
Unrelated, but I really liked this trick:

priceless reaction
Would definitely buy, but ive spent so much in yoyos in the past month that I can’t possibly justify another Ti release (just bought the Weekender over the weekend though).
edit: I lied. Just bought one, lol
As for those tricks, I can’t believe nobody commented on that 5-0A wizardry you reposted here like a month ago. LIke, I don’t even believe that is possible. The one crazy trick where you let it fly, and the Butterfly slows down, winds up, and speeds up, that is like impossible. Then the arm wrap to trapeze stall. So awesome. Your tricks are always next level.
Nothing short of heroic.
Teach me mAster.
First time I watched this I didn’t even see the flip. Then the slo mo played and mind was blown.
I can’t, my constitution broke 
Wicked slick!
The face was called for.
That looked so satisfying!
Some months of heavy (?) use.
You can see the smooth polish and super slight concave shape that starts to form from the string friction.
Ah there’s tons of life left in that Harbinger. Years. Just send the end of the axle a little. Then apply a small drop of wood glue in the hole and spread with a a cotton tip. Get 2 stacks of 8 or 9 playing cards either side of the axle, put the other half back on and clamp for 24h.
What’s your preferred string for fixed axle play?
Most people seem to like the Type 10 cotton that yoyo expert sells. I like it, but, I also enjoy making my own cotton string (I find it easier to get right than poly). My suggestion is to start with the YYE string, and, if you want to mix it up, order some cotton thread, watch a couple of YouTube videos and give your own a try.
Cotton. I’ve got Type 4 up to Type 10, all depending on the yoyo. But on most all of my yoyos it’s YYE Type 10 string. I’ve heard that ZipLine is working on some cotton strings. Will be interesting to try.
