Skyline by YoYoFactory for YoYoNation
« on: January 13, 2008, 04:54:26 PM »

No more Hype Afro

YoYoFactory presents the 'Skyline' for YoYoNation


The process...
G5 lead to eight8eight and also spurred into G5+ and Gm2.Experiments with 'highwall' and in exotic finishing and recent advances with the 08 888 also added to the knowledge base to bring Skyline to you, the player.

The stats...
weight       63.5gm
width         39.5mm
diameter    50mm
gap            4.8mm

The red skyline comes with a unique precision texture finish which allows us to increase grinding potential on the rim while keeping the extra friction away from the string.

The result...
A fast moving extremely stable player. The stability at speed gives it appeal to a range of players, obviously it is manouverable and nible through technical tricks but it will also hold plain for flash tricks including CW play.
If you do not know what makes a yo-yo smooth, this will show you. If you already do, you know to expect nothing but the best.


YoYoFactory Contest Team Skyline videos coming shortly.

That does look good in red. How compatible with hubstack kits is it? Like top-tips which are a nono on the 888.

7075, Check

Top-Tip/Z-Stack wise, it is similar to the 888. Long stacks are or but there is some loss of performance. Top tips it is a ball, Z-Stacks don't even fit.  The G5 is still the best for stacks and we are working on a design for mid year that will also be specifically designed for the tips too.

Silicone O-pad response. Plays great with flowable silicone also.

Nam I am glad to see you are going for something that suits your style. The 401sd is a great choice  Afro

so this has a deep recess similar to the first run g5s, which enables it to be siliconed?

all the large bearing 888s have had the same response groove, it started with flowable silicone and somewhere around october we started using these http://www.yoyonation.com/product.php?productid=16565&cat=257&page=2 which were in all the 08 888s
