It does have some vibe. I have caught this a few times in some pics before. The DiBase, the Boss one’s with splash or multi colors especially around the rim area produce this. When spinning the Sleipnir looks nothing like the pics of it spinning. It’s almost a gold and multicolor in the hub. When I look through my Droid to take the pic it shows the colors almost like a strobe effect. Very weird. ---

Eneme (Americana) at least thats what I’m calling it. Has a white gloss gap and mirror red hubs. Whole thing got a gloss clear with blue flake to make the red, white and blue thing happen. Pics don’t do the blue flake justice as it’s a light coat of it and it really makes a nice subtle presentation. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/2/1/f21d398c5e09af5fbb6fa98528818a881d10d7eb.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/5/c/95c090fc2ed5ec131ecb68bb87b6fb67cf218fcf.jpeg) ---
