WOW!!
That Al Brass Minimotu! Thanks, for sharing these, Doc!
By the way, you sound a bit like an annoyed Bill Murray who has just woken up.

You gotta send me a couple of minimotu rings, and Iāll make you one out of wood. 
The original Mini Mo-trix is by far still one of my all time favorite yo-yos @yoyodoc
Signature Cracks
I think at one point I had one of the bi-metal Mini Motu prototypesā¦ Iāll have to lookā¦

Actually; I work with wood. I could do halves with; rozebra, Purple Heart, African rosewood, ebony, birdseye maple, etc.
ā¦ Or maybe just cut halves from clear poly or Delrin, or?
Just not compelled to do so at the moment.
Ps; The video was recorded on my Iphone X. I was in the kitchen; speaking in low tones because my girl was sleeping. What I found most interesting was the YouTube āaudioā came out sounding like the speed was slower? I almost just deleted itā¦ But right before I did; I realized that so few people have ever heard my actual voice; that they would have no idea whether I actually sound like that or not; lololol.
I selected the standard YouTube recording quality. Maybe I should have chosen the higher quality option?
Thanks for pointing out how lame the audio is. Youāre a pal.

Whoa, I feel a bit smaller now.
Serves me right for thinking I could make such an accomplished craftsman a yoyo. 
Iām pretty sure āyou sound like an annoyed Bill Murrayā is a compliment, man!

I never said I was an accomplished craftsman.
But I have done a few yoyo related thingsā¦
Sounding like Bill Murray is a compliment. Sounding like an āannoyedā anybody; is not a compliment.
My apologies. But you really did seem a little annoyed. 
Itās really cool to see yo-yos like this, having missed everything yo-yo from 2000 through 2017. Thanks for making this vid!
That all metal Motu is BA! I wanna throw that thing!
I remember loving the clear motrix that I had, but hated the o-rings, this is before I knew how to do silicone recesses and what not.
But the minimotu is one of my favorite wheels of all time.
I would love to have gotten the all brass version. I have always loved mini throws.
Wow, agreed on that all metal Motu. What a unique piece.
My boast (youāre generous in sharing the video; Iām just bragging) is that my Mini Motu has flowable silicone in it and is uncracked. I still need to replace the cap I wrecked though.
āsignature cracksā 
That metal one does look so cool!
Iāve enjoyed the blue one I got from you!
I actually forgot about this video, lol.
I was searching for a few old MiniMo adsā¦. And this vid popped right up on the results list.
Hard to believe 7+ years have gone by so fastā¦
PSā¦ I was wrong about mentioning a few of the yo-yos were one of a kind. I actually didnāt know until years later the fact, that Dale would send identical items to both myself and Andre. Obviously it didnāt matterā¦ Dale just never mentioned that to me.
I have no doubt that Andre was more often the recipient of Yoyojam products than me.
Andre was Captain of the Yoyojam Team and got many things Yoyojam related.
I ādidā get some Jam related stuff, no doubt. But more often than not, I got stuff directly related to my Signature yo-yos.
Way back then, Andre wore many hats in the yo-yo rodeo. Team Captainā¦ Judge at many major Contests, Trick video generaterā¦Team Talent Scoutā¦ Yo-yo designerā¦ Master Yo-yo Testerā¦In person Trick instructor and Mentorā¦ Quality Control Advisorā¦ and competitor.
I was a yo-yo modderā¦. lol.
Soā¦.. uhā¦.. he got more stuff in the mail than I didā¦ go figureš¤
