Like, what tricks are good to learn because they have a lot of other tricks that use them? What are the staples? ---

I’m pretty sure trapeze is used in some fixed axle tricks. ---

Check out Kyle Nations’ latest video. Or stuff by Ed Haponik and Drew Tetz in their series on [YoyoNews.com](http://YoyoNews.com). Plenty of stalls, regens, “tough love” (intercept or otherwise catch the yoyo but NOT with your normal throw-hand catch!) moves. You wouldn’t be steered astray to work on regens and learn the trapeze stall (and trapeze-bro stall) as your first moves. Sidewinders and UFOs are always good for fun, too. :wink: ---

I know: Trapeze stall Bro stall Double or Nothing stall Houdini stall That one handed stall thing Under mount stall 1.5 stall Trapeze stall suicide A lot of tough love stuff Um… That’s it I guess. Are there any other fundamental moves I should learn? ---

Man, sounds like you’re well on your way! Certainly further along than I could give you advice for. Those trapeze stall suicides (kick flip suicides) are my favourite right now. ---

> **[Search Results for “fixed friday”](https://yoyonews.com/?s=fixed%2Bfriday&x=-1071&y=-702)** eat your heart out! or… read a bunch of words! i guess more that second one, there’s not really a whole lot of eating to be done. some of my staples include dumptrucks, kickflip suicides, sidewinder/UFO stuff, and shoot the moons/planet hops. try finding new connections between your stalls, or integrating them with normal string tricks. play around and have fun! that’s what counts. ---

What string do you use on your butterflies? Do you use them stock? ---

they are stock! most of the time i’m using standard poly string, sometimes when i’m feeling real crazy (or just need long string) i’ll use a fat kitty string, but those take a little while to break in. i definitely think that some butterflies feel better than others, but yeah, i don’t really do any mods or anything. i like to put stickers on the sidecaps to make them look cool! i feel like that gives me a mental edge also, probably my favorite fixed axle move right now is the cross-armed 1.5 stall. it’s so handy for going into stuff, i feel like i’m opening every combo with either that or the chopsticks 2or0 stall ---

I cheated with my butterfly. I broke it open and sanded some of the starbursts down. How long is your string? ---

cheater!.. nah, do what makes you wanna play with it, haha. i very rarely cut my strings. i find that a lil’ extra length gives you more room when it winds up for stalls, but you might wanna hack off a few inches if you’re doing a lot of loops and want some extra room. or if you aren’t six feet tall. up to you.
