Wood is Good

Use a tiny oring like you’d find in hubstacks as a spacer.

Irving pro should be here tomorrow! My first fixed axle (wood fixed axle, anyways.)
Got to throw a TMBRxSPYY eh (thanks to ed) awhile back and hated to put it down. think I made a good choice for myself?

Oh yeh, and I got this. Not fixed axle. But still, wood is good right?

EDIT: points to who can tell me who that is and what record it is in the background :wink:


That’s Ozzy’s Bark at the Moon. :slight_smile:

Hope you enjoy that Irving Pro!

Darn… I had that!!! HAHA Did not take you for an Ozzy fan J??? HAHA

DINGDINGDING!!

How often is it that a 14 year olds prized possession is an ozzy record? (1983! As original as it gets lol. Extremely close to mint condition :wink: )

I’m not, really. One of my sisters, though, was really into Ozzy, Quiet Riot, and a lot of the hair bands … Motley Crue, Poison, etc. … ::slight_smile:

HAHA Nice!!! I grew up on all that stuff!!! HAHA Sad to say I still listen to some of it.

sad?! That’s crazy! Nobody really taught me about my music. I guess that’s why I’m confused on whether Ilive in the 80’s and now ::slight_smile: (80’s and 90’s rock/metal and nu-metal and electronica. So weird.)

I’m going to have Bark at the Moon stuck in my head all night now…

SCREAMS BREAK THE SILENCE!

I posted these photos recently in the Amature YoYo Photography thread Amateur Yo-Yo Photography - #105 by jasonwongzero - Unrelated Discussion - YoYoExpert, but since it’s wood, figured they might be appreciated here as well. Just a couple shots I took messing around with a No Jive.

Got myself an Irving pro!
Not as responsive as I’d like it (tips here?) But I like it.

Oh yeh, I feel like making this my own. I’m gonna try to get my hands on a wood burner so I can do… that. But, I’ve heard something about staining with hot tea. Can anyone explain that?

Thanks.

Just get some ordinary wood stain. Works great…

For response on my Irving Pro: I had no friction stickers(worn out) like everyone recomends, so I put in one duncan 12mm silicone sticker(brand new). Works great.

I wonder why…

yeah… I did a tea-stain… and it turned out okay… but actual wood-stain is gonna serve you better.

The tea-stain was one of those, “hmm-lets-give-this-a-shot-oh-wow-it-didn’t-turn-out-super-amazing” kinda run of the mill ideas…

just landed kwijibo and skin the gerbil… lets see what else i can manage today.

edit: and ninja vanish

Did an Oliver Twist… ironically, while showing my wife that it’s going to be difficult to land some of the tricks I’m accustomed to. I thought it was going to crap out on me, but there it was… clean as a whistle. I did a shocked face, then a happy face.

Then I did the same thing while trying to show a double-on (Lindy Loop).

Skin the Gerbil, well… that’s going to be a ways off (I can’t do all the elements together quickly and cleanly enough) but I’ve already proven to myself that it’s within my abilities in the not-too-distant future!

Landed spirit bomb after many tries on a no jive today.

On an unrelated note, this is post number 600! Woohoo!

The No-Jive is a pretty amazing throw. Buttery Axle :stuck_out_tongue:
