A few variations from the same mold along with a Duncan fixed axle shirt (Dale Myrberg Jack Russell - it is a little difficult to read the name from the photo)
All Layer Infinity designs survive Hulk smashing on concrete before release*
This is the poor prototype Kasm that ate it.

Also, put in some time with @Eric_Newlin ‘s Mother T this evening. Finally getting the response and ziplike kot-n broken in just right, so it’s starting to play very nicely!
Zipline/ TMBR Wood*Z Cherry XL (Unengraved Early Release) and breaking in a fresh Zipline [kot-n], so yeah, a lot of Double or Nothing Fly-Outs and Planet Hops to get that stretch and grip to set up. Its Friday so I’m Chill’N
Throwing this itty bitty boy today.

@RC_yo-yo @Eric_Newlin @vegabomb have any of you gents ever considered an attempt to turn polycarbonate? I’m sure Glen will tell you it’s a PITA and not worth it, but as someone who only enjoys the results and has no idea of the difficulties involved in the actual process, I would disagree strongly .
That string finally broke in around Tuesday, and since its SlimTember I’ll continue to throw as its 28.5mm Slim.
I hadn’t really considered it, but I’m not sure it would be my wheelhouse. I think I’d rather turn wood
Yeah I feel like most of you guys have that preference. Not just because it’s less hassle, but also probably much more affordable and less risky.
Just got this bad boi today.
Bc Apollo pro / signature series. I’ve been so obsessed lately getting modern responsives and thought I might go back in time a bit. There’s something special about the older generation of fixies that is really pleasant to throw.
It’s a tiny bit lighter and narrower than the normal Apollo and I quite like it. Might have to sell off my normal Apollo now.
That’s definitely above my current skill level. Maybe someday.
I absolutely love the Apollo. Imo one of the best of the true old school fixies before the era of boutique “modern” fixies
That looks like a pretty early prototype.
Nah, just well loved. From a run you sent to YYE.
I Love your caftsmanship Glen, this is my most thrown yoyo.
Agreed! I’ve been throwing my old bcs and Tom kuhns a whole bunch over the last few weeks and you just can’t deny a tried and true form! The perfected weight and shapes even on the imperial style just feel so right in hand!
How do these play? What are the axle specs and gap width?
