Did you know the caps to some duncans (hayabusa, flipside, and I think FHZs) will fit almost perfectly in the werrd 86400? (try it for yourself and use suction cups to remove them)

Do you know any other pointless factoids? Share them here!

1. Did you know that you can reuse an old silicone pad by cleaning the sticky gunk on the pad, half-filling the groove with rtv, flip over the old silicone and stick it onto the rtv.  
It’s one way to reuse old pads so you can literally wear them down to nothing, or at least that’s the idea.

2. Did you know that you can clean bearings with gasoline.

3. Did you know that Yomega Raider and Fireball and their derivatives are of the same mold? The only difference is the internal, Raider have bearing and spacers while Fireball have slightly thicker axle and plastic sleeve. So basically a modded Raider (with plastic spacers) is the same as modded Fireball.

This is also true when the temperature drops below 20 degrees or so, every spring I have to push orings in and redo silicone pads.

3A was the result of a bet between Mark McBride and Steve Brown. Every year since 1998 they’d have a year long bet, with the winner getting usually a steak dinner. In 1998, the bet was to make a trick with 2 spinning yoyos (which Mark McBride won). The result was velvet rolls.
