How many Kickflip Suicides can you do in a row? (Ok, I’m not sure, but the most I could fit into an Instagram video was 5.) [http://instagram.com/p/3e0kvZkp1L](http://instagram.com/p/3e0kvZkp1L) Anyway, that’s the question we’re asking with this little follow-up to last month’s Fixed Axle Challenge. You’ve got 1 WEEK to see how many of Drew’s trademark trick you can hit in a row. The winner will be crowned Kickflip Suicide Shootout Champion and take home a sweet (and huge) Free Spirit yo-yo from Once Upon a Tree! Rules Rules Rules! 1. You may only use a FIXED AXLE YO-YO. 2. You must post your YouTube or Instagram video AND the number of consecutive Kickflips you hit (in text) in this thread. 3. The contest ends on 6/10/15 at 9pm EST. No posts after that time will be considered. 4. You may try (and post) as many times as you like before the countdown is over. (Bluffs and psych-outs are encouraged, but obviously trash-talking will get you disqualified.) 5. All Kickflips must be clear and in frame on video. 6. You MUST regenerate the yo-yo back to the hand after your last Kickflip. NOTE: you may not bring the yo-yo back after MISSING a Kickflip. Any misses will disqualify your entry! Note that this contest is open to ANYONE with a fixed axle yo-yo - not just those who participated in the Fixed Axle Challenge. Do YOU have the consistency and focus needed to be crowned Kickflip Shootout Champion??? You’ve got a week… Better get flipping!!! ---

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS Time to waste the next 168 hours doing non-stop kickflips. Well, not waste, I meant enjoy. > [@edhaponik](#): > > Yep!

Soooooo just to clarify, I miss my last kick flip but it spins enough to for me to regen it back. That’s all good? ---

That’s all good? GOOD POINT. No I would say a missed kickflip disqualifies your entry. You need to go as far as you believe you can WITHOUT messing up. I’ll add that in to clarify. ---

Since psych-outs are encouraged, I take that to mean mind games are, too.  Here’s the video from the last fixed-axle consistency challenge I was involved in. (I get too into these things.)
