Does anyone have any tutorials on any of these? [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/d/a/eda925c0904d543b5b8d1706378496992367b36f.jpeg "YOYONEWS.COM: Fixed Friday 38 - Applying Fixed Concepts to Bearing Yo-Yo's") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLEhIhrT1iQ) It looks awesome, but I will probably need a little help pulling it off. I know Ed has a bunch of fixed tuts here, but it’s a little different with an unresponsive throw. ---

How are you sure it’s unresponsive? Never heard of such stall, tho I’m fairly new here, but I would say since I’ve watched this guy’s tutorials, it a modded wide yoyo, unlikely unresponsive. ---

It’s in the title of the video. He is doing fixed axle style tricks with an unresponsive yoyo. You can also see him bind. ---

Well, unresponsive is not in the title (bearing can be responsive) but I agree that it seems to be an unresponsive bearing yo-yo judging by the way he is playing with binds. A Minute perhaps? I think the trick with these is to learn how to catch stalls in several ways (trapeze, lunar, etc.) and learn to catch them that way off binds; gotta be on your toes. Probably means really getting familiar with the binding characteristics of a particular yo-yo. Glad you shared this, I’m going to try these concepts with my tricks! ---

You just bind… and stall as it comes back. The width of most unresponsive yoyos makes it an interesting job to catch it, but it’s not impossible by any stretch. ---

They’ve pretty simple once you’ve gotten the feel for them. Pinch the string when you bind and be quick. Make sure you have them 90% of the time on a responsive throw before frustrating yourself with this. ---

Oh I see, it was in the title of the article I linked from, but not in the youtube video. Sorry about that. I’ve managed to work some out but the width is making it tricky. I think -Someone- is right about learning on a responsive first. If I had one worth stalling on I would do that 😛 It also seems that you get a lot of momentum coming back at your hand if you try and stall right after a hard throw. It seems easier at lower yoyo RPMs.
