Oh SNAP!!! Sick video…I like the style of it, nice backdrops, great skills and some fantastically made throws. Great job. The camera loves you guys. Love it!!
GREAT video!!! loved it… Thats the 413 baby!!!
Thanks guys, we very much appreciate the support. It was a blast to make. First of many to come!
So where are these Soda Blast Nickel pics… curious people want to see.
Question, is this similar to the Soda Blast Nickel finish that One Drop uses? I know they did the OG MarkMont, MarkMont Next, and the OD/CLYW Wooly MarkMont in that type of finish as well.
Here are a few pictures of both the Soda Nickel Monkey and Soda Nickel Smooth Move. This is one of my favorite finishes on a yo-yo, very durable and very playable. I’m not familiar with processes used by One Drop, but if they soda blasted theirs before plating, there most likely are a lot of similarities. Each yo-yo from this run I soda blasted personally, and used a local shop that specializes in nickel plating only. It was the first time they’d had yo-yos come through their doors, but they did an amazing job!
Check them out!
On the Monkey Fist, the monkey fist knot was adhered to the axle hub through a process called thermarking. This is a neat way to do a logo because it comes out very clear and in black. The lexan caps on the Smooth Move were laser engraved. Fortunately lexan is one of the easiest plastics to engrave, which I didn’t know when I chose the material. The logo showed up black here as well and came out nice and crisp.
A couple more pictures:
Any other questions please feel free to ask 
I’m happy to provide info about our products or processes and to post pics. I post most updates on Spin Dynamics’ facebook page and sometimes forget to post them here.
Cool, thanks for the info. Yep, it sounds like your soda/nickel process is almost exactly like what One Drop does, down to the blasting in house. Glad to see others doing this finish as well, it was my favorite part of the OG MarkMont.
You’re welcome I will most likely do an edition of each Spin Dynamics design with this finish. Lots of people have really liked it
YES! It’s true…
I’ve just received both yoyos in nickel blasted and I have to say they are really “gorgeous”: best finish from my point of view.
@Nick I’ve dropped the Monkey Fist from my hands to the concrete while not playing…GRRRR my hands like a baby!! So 2 little dings…really upset for all the day >:(
Oh no! Sorry that happened so soon! It will still play fine, and hopefully you can just display it on its good side

Yes, it plays fine, no problems. It’s only that when you ding the first time a fine yoyo…it’s like an injury to ourself!!! 
Then it will be cured from time passing by 
and playing a lot with it…
I don’t have a facebook…
But my sister does…
Can she do it for me?
@Shadowz: Absolutely
Cool!
Are you coming to the Eli Hops for Hope contest?
If you’re wondering who I am…
I was the kid that offered you an old wooden looper at the back of the Theater at MA states. 
Lol. Me and you were trying so hard to get rid of that so you could buy a Trigger.
That was funny.
Yeah, I really wanted to get a Trigger there.
Got one anyway with the money I won.
