version 3.0 - yep. 5 minutes. evidently i yo-yo a lot seeing as this is just from the last couple months. i feel like some of it is pretty rad though. a few werrds in there, but everything else is fixed axle.

Just popped out a video that is 75% Onedrop Valor, but there’s also a couple combos on a Duncan Butterfly and Imperial, as well as my TMBR Turner. Minimal tearing. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA_v0fPk7t8) ---

So I posted photos of my newest fixed axle series on the OUT facebook page ([Redirecting...](https://www.facebook.com/voodama.doll)) and I had a follower message me asking if it would be possible to  achieve a finger spin on them since there is a little hub space; I jokingly said that after seeing what Ed Haponik can do with a fixed axle, I wouldn’t rule anything out. So, what do you guys think? I’m sure alot of you have attempted horizontal play on a fixed axle, but what was your success of performing anything worthy of calling a trick? I’d love to see some vids of horizontal fixie tricks  😃 ---

lol. i’ve done a lot of sideways/horizontal/off-plane stuff (mainly just ufo recapture stuff), but nothing i can think of using the hubs. mainly i guess because no fixed axle i’ve ever used has had recessed hubs… closest i’ve come to something like that would be the coin flip trick at 2:20 here.
