And truthfully they should be sealed-type bearings so you should only lubricate them when open. Although sometimes I toss a little dot on the opening in the hopes it will get sucked in. Then I wipe it off.

WD-40 is a lubricant, not a grease. In theory, if you sprayed your bearings every time you used them, you'd be ok. I used to open, grease and repack my abec-9's on my rollerblades about once a month. You can get a repacking kit for like $15 bucks, and it only takes MAYBE 30 minutes for all 16 bearings.
