Are you sure? I’m pretty sure in one of my old yoyo DVD’s (I lost it so I can’t check) Atomic Bomb and Barrel Rolls are two different tricks. They both use Split Bottom Mount, but Barrel Rolls is a repeater trick, and Atomic Bomb is a combo with a beginning and an end. Unless I’m getting Atomic Bomb mixed up with something else, which is entirely possible. lol ---

You’re probably mixing up atomic bomb with split the atom. Atomic bomb and barrel rolls are definitely the same trick ^^ ---

Maybe Elendil is right and you’re thinking about Split the Atom. ---

um… ok… so the way andre teaches it (and the way a lot of people see it) differs from the what i learned (which incidentally came from vids of dale o., which i’m inclined to go with - love you andre). atom bomb/atom smasher is NOT the same as barrel rolls. historically, split the atom IS essentially the same as atom bomb/atom smasher, but from a front mount. ironically, the trick known as ‘split the atom’ on ladder lists is really ‘atom bomb’. i kind of understand people using those terms interchangeably, since the only difference is the mount and one underpass. split the atom goes front-mount, string split, underpass, somersault, dismount. atom bomb/atom smasher is the same thing but begins with a split bottom mount and so has an extra underpass. [http://www.howtoyoyo.com/2004/01/15/atom-bombatom-smasher/](http://www.howtoyoyo.com/2004/01/15/atom-bombatom-smasher/) barrel rolls is a repeating trick (from really any frontstyle or sidestyle mount - usually split bottom) that is TOTALLY different (although you can certainly link barrel rolls into atom smasher). sector\_y archive agrees: http://sector\_y.yoyoing.com/videos/individual\_tricks/index.php barrel rolls: http://sector\_y.yoyoing.com/videos/individual\_tricks/Barrel%20Rolls%20%28Forward%29.mpg split the atom: http://sector\_y.yoyoing.com/videos/individual\_tricks/Split%20the%20Atom.mpg atom bomb/atom smasher: http://sector\_y.yoyoing.com/videos/individual\_tricks/Atom%20Smasher.mpg
