Are these in addition to the beginner friendly tricks for each week?
Not being that great, this set looks daunting to me as a rookie.
MR85 was hinted at in the discussions.
We decided to utilize the pre-existing D bearing and pad design from the tried and true G2 Respawn.
To go MR85 we would also need to get permission and source pads from Mr. Mark or prototype and design our own.
Also going with the D size, there are bearing blanks available also for those inclined.
Going with exsisting parts has helped expedite this project.
Note: We will establish another committee when we get to the unresponsive project.

Week 1 and 2 look mostly beginner friendly to me. Maybe not the Lunar Stalls.
There’s at least one trick a week I’m confident I might be able to do
The specs are open source and I welcome anyone to use them in the future.

I was thinking this is it, but we can definitely remove or move things around to make it even more beginner friendly. I tried to give each week a mix of basic and intermediate so the whole first week wasn’t only basic stalls, while the last week is all pretty advanced. But maybe the first week should be only basic stalls, so people that have never played modern fixie have a more steady progression and it doesn’t hop around as much?
What are some tricks on the current list that everyone does not feel confident in learning?
That’s awesome. I imagine Jake would have had more trouble going that route vs sticking to a design scheme he is familiar with but maybe a future version. Anyway the boomer yoyo gets to sit in the same friendly space as my set of mijo and tio

Yeah, sticking with his already well-tuned response seems ideal from a design perspective.

I really like it.
Maybe something along the lines;
All it takes is a basic Duncan Butterfly.
Or
Can be accomplished with a Duncan Butterfly.
*With this simple “plug” it could tie into our Butterfly sticker."
