I was just wondering.
yyj dark majic. i like yyf much better now but i think its a great beginner yoyo.
Not even close…read the question a tad bit more thoroughly next time.
The Tom Kuhn SB-2. 1990.
cool, i always thought it was the raider, but thanks for answering my question.
SKF (Swedish Bearing Company) made some bearing yoyos in the 80’s. I think those were the first bearing yoyos ever made, not sure though.

I think you meant SBC. 
Ball bearing yo-yo was patented (approved; filed Jan. 3, 1963) March 30, 1965

Raider.
Guys, the question is what was THE first ball bearing yoyo, not YOUR first ball bearing yoyo…

Oops, sorry I didnt know about those! Sorry for being wrong haha, but I was close. The SB-2 was the first successful ball bearing yoyo, at least I think so anyways.
Makes me sad people can’t seem to read…
sorry, I thought the post was your fist ball bearing yoyo, not the first
