France, talk about business. 
I need to pick up my LoveJoy again and have some fun.
I bought one of those and it came apart, and another that was to rough of an axle, could u drop a note about using smoother axle?
Awesome tutorial ED! thanks for breaking that stuff down.
Just received a TMBR Baldwin today from YYE. It is my favorite TMBR to date. Lately I have
been working on shoot-the-moon, and it’s great for that. Some of the other models might be better for complex string tricks, but the Baldwin is great for the old style tricks. It’s kind of like a wider flying camel, with a nicer catch zone.
^Thanks for sharing.
@ed
Great video. Thank you.
Awesome of you to make that video, Ed!
It’s currently in stock. I just ordered some today.
For a rough axle, you can smooth them out by wrapping a bit of string around the axle 3-4 times with both loose ends about 8-10 in. long. Grab both loose strings and pull the string back and forth a number of times. This was always recommended for wood axles in the past. Any string will do, doesn’t have to be yoyo string. I use the really thick stuff used for package wrapping.
12 days in… she’s already showing her age. She hasn’t left my side yet. I walk around and gravity pull and sleep her wherever I go. I’m seriously trying to see what it takes to burn thru one of these axles.
And yes… when someone ask me to walk the dog… im gonna friggin walk the dog on my next throw! It just never happens to be over grass or carpet.
These dings are because of failed snaps starts and tension management. If that string doesn’t wrap tight it hits the pavement. I’ve shortened my string a bit more which has helped but when I throw hard I guess I loose a bit of control and over extend my throw.
Huckin’ this around today:

w00w! that is amazing.
Can’t c it 
And once again, Ed proves why he’s currently the Fixed Axle Champion of the World…
That’s a really awesome video ed.
It perfectly showcases all the joy of yoyoing 
Awesome… that was one heck of a throw. You fling the crap out of that yoyo.
LOLOLOL!
Yep, that was a great video. Thanks Ed.
Your tip on keeping the string in line with the gap helped me a ton when trying fixed axle suicides. I’m finally starting to land them on my eh, after trying without success for a while. Before I saw that video, I had even dared to try them on my responsive Flying V. However, I gave that up really quickly when it started flying back into my knuckles at high speed.
Did y’all see the new Turner? I’m going to need a case just for my TMBR throws soon.
I hear that.
I haven’t really had a very good Wooden 1A yoyo yet.
But I like my Duncan Wooden Imperials for 2a.
