They brang it with a bang releasing the 888, but the Skyline was its brother, and was it good! A bit lighter, a slight H-Shape, awesomeness. The Skyline is an amazing yoyo, it is somewhat based off the 888, the only thing they changed was the slight H-Shape, and the wheight, and not much else. The Hubstacks are a great addition also. First thoughts (before the throw): Honestly…I didn’t think of it much before the throw. I was so exited to open it, I didn’t look at it much. One thing I did notice however, is how it didn’t fit too well in the box, it was loose in its box, so I was like, “This thing must be pretty small”. I was glad though, I loved my M1, and that was very undersized. It also seemd fairly light when I was putting on a string, so that was actually something I wasn’t too familiar with, light yoyos. First throw: The first throw, was, well…amazing. First thing I noticed was how smooth it was, super-mega-extra-double smooth! And it is very forgiving on a bad throw, so you don’t need to worry about that. I also noticed how it was very light, and I wasn’t a huge fan at first. The SPEC bearing was great also, I love how those are unresponsive right out of the box. Comfort: The Skyline is small, and fits very well in the hand, I love that part of it. Fits very well, and the finish is comfortable to hold. Very nice feel if you like small yoyos. On A Throw: Smooth, light, fast, great! I got use to the feeling of the lighness of the Skyline the first few hours, and I like it now. The smoothness is hard to explain, I guess a glow should do it; SMOOTH Its also very fast, but is great for longer string tricks. Grinding: Eh…not too great. The glossy annodation YoYoFactory uses is what I don’t like about this yoyo, it doesn’t grind too well at all, but I can do some grinds. It feels smooth-ish on your arm while grinding, but is kind of “Grippy”. But know this is only on Gold Edition Skylines, some are beadblasted. 5A: Awesome 5A player! It’s light, and I like that for 5A. Its hard to explain, its just awesome. Overall: I used the word a lot in the review, and I will use it more: Awesome! Light, Small yoyo, if you like that, the Skyline is perfect for you. ---

Great review! I don’t think the 2009 eight8eight grinds that great either, and it is semi-glossed. Cool picture video too. I liked your review. Edit: I think everyone else was either jealous or shocked at how good the review was. ;D Kidding to those who didn’t post! ---
