Wanted to try out 5A today. Dug around for something that could be used as a counterweight. It was so cute. So perfect. And it went well… for a few minutes. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/7/4/e745bbe234bb8c56d7b06decbf60c7f8e0a3c964.jpeg) https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7468852629414677802 ---

😭 the poor guy lost his grip. He was just trying his best If you haven’t already, try tying the slipknot around his waist, itll probably hold better ---

Do you have a Duncan imperial? If so, land a simple trapeze stall with it on camera, and @Slestak75 will send you a free counterweight! (I think those were the rules, I’m sure Steve will correct me if I’m wrong) ---

It doesn’t have to be a trapeze stall either, it could be any of the tricks in this years Fixed Axle February event to my knowledge. ---

Please bear with me those who don’t know… I have stroke damage in my brain so please bear with me. I have a limited number (22) of counterweights from @Nic_from_Adelaide I have spent this last week at the hospital with my daughter who had lung surgery so I’m off to a slow start and I’ll get pics and numbers later today. So here’s the skinny. These counterweights will be a prize for anyone who completes an IMPERIAL CHALLENGE. Here are the… also i started with drilled dice and I’m sure that’ll be fun for astro dice specifically, but gaming dice are lighter so you really need 2 unless ur using a very light yoyo. i recently got a couple of 10g cw’s and using a single one of appropriate size and weight was a whole different game. personally i much prefer the single weight ---

Indeed. Use a Duncan Imperial to complete any of the tricks in the Fixed Axle February thread, post the video in that thread, and make sure to @ me in the post, and please include IMPERIAL CHALLENGE in the post. This is just to help me pick them out as I have stroke damage and sometimes it’s difficult to keep up with all the posts. 🥰 ---

Landing the trapeze stall a couple weeks ago was my gateway drug into 0A lol. Be warned, it’s addictively fun if you haven’t already played around with 0A. ---

I’ll probably enjoy 0A more once I remember to buy Chapstick, lol. for now, my fixies are all either too unresponsive, or too responsive. (I gotta double wrap the string just to get some to respond right)
