Yomega Raider from 98 ish. My second grade teacher kept it for a few months back in the day. Not to use, just in the drawer where she kept all the things that distracted us (I mean maybe she used it I dunno)

Raider was my first bearing yoyo. I was devastated when I was playing with it one summer day out in the yard, yoyo came apart and the bearing and spacers flew off somewhere, nowhere ever to be found again. This was pre-internet so it was not very easy to just go and buy a new bearing setup. I think I ended up stealing the bearing and spacers out of my Ballistic to get the Raider up and going again when I felt the urge to go back to it.

(still have) clear with the clear blue caps. It’s probably the only childhood Yomega whose hubs have not cracked on me.
