Sure is, good eye. Just started using airetic and really liking it.

1/2 Swapped Basecamp Sherpa in Aqua and Green set up responsive with a thick lubed 1/2 Spec C and yellow Slick 6

I really like that colour-way. Gimme a sec…

[Lukoyo]

I painted one of my legend wings the same two colours about a week ago:

Its Anti-Yo inspired for sure… as seen on YoYo Wiki

[ChrisFrancz]

What kind of paint / application?

[zslane (ClockMonsterLA)]

My Sherpa experiment consists of putting a Luftverk bearing blank in it and turning it into a metal fixie. String is YYSL Blood+.

[Lukoyo]

Does it work well? I’ve been think of picking one up or trying to make one.

[zslane (ClockMonsterLA)]

I’m not really experienced with fixie play, so my opinion must be taken with a huge grain of salt. My overall impression of the Sherpa with the bearing blank can be summed up in one word: meh.

I mean, it “works” perfectly fine. You get low spin times and reasonable but not exceptional smoothness. Pretty much like you’d expect from a wood fixie. But wood fixies are much lighter and snappier in their response (usually) than the Sherpa, and so the play feels pretty sluggish by comparison.

[Exmime]

The Sherpa is fun responsive as it has Pull Start Dimples similar to the Knack. It’s also the same diameter as the TMBR Sullivan another favorite wood of mine. With a lubed 1/2 Spec C it can do some 1A and some OA, but its not as responsive as lighter throws so I get that it can feel sluggish as a responsive set up.

The all Red looks killer

[Lukoyo]

I really need to try and get a Sherpa. I’ve always liked the look of the white ones but I bet they’re hard to come by. I really like my Sullivan too, good weight to it and the size is appropriate.

[gcoomans (Gethin)]

That looks so good!!!

[FrankieJR (FrankieJankie)]

Copper blasted Tishee I got in a trade!

[PCaliyoyos (Peyton Cali)]

throwing them Goldfish around? how fun.

[FrankieJR (FrankieJankie)]

You gave me an idea to toss goldfish in the air and catch them in my mouth. Such a nostalgic feeling for me lol
