The Atlas yoyo was used by Jake Elliott to win the World Yoyo Championship in 2015. It features an extra wide design, and it is great for players who are interested in either 1A or 5A style play, who are looking for something a little bit different to step up their game.

I really love your channel. I ordered a V3 Magicyoyo and will start learning to play yo-yo. Love your website and I'll register soon. I really love the Atlas but when I look at the Portugal website, everything shows as out of stock. I mean everything from bearings to strings. I'm an American living abroad and would prefer to order from you guys rather than Amazon. Do you have a distributor from UK or any other European countries that can ship to Portugal? If I order on the US site, import taxes will kill me (or my wife) 😯

[@yotricks]

@@mdtaylor2274 We just did an update on our site, so it is possible that everything appearing as out of stock is a bug. If you wouldn't mind helping us out for a minute, what products specifically are out of stock? That information may help us identify some problems on our end. We do not have any distributors, unfortunately. We do ship from outside the US, but I don't believe that makes a difference in terms of import taxes.

[@yotricks]

Michael Taylor just the names of some specific products would be great. Thanks!

[@mdtaylor2274]

@@yotricks looks like it's working now buddy. Only thing that showed out of stock was the Boss Yoyo Pro Pack. But then I changed the country for US and back to Portugal and it was available. All the strings, bearings, oils and pads are also okay now. Happy days 🤓

[@metalboy5150]

This is awesome. Pretty much exactly the kind of thing I was talking about when we last spoke. The history in the video was awesome, and the comedic back and forth between you and Jake was hilarious. Yet another excellent video from Adam and the rest of the Yotricks crew!

[@jonahobrien8211]

I just got the atlas today for my birthday! It's the best yoyo I ever played with! Something about it makes it sooooo easy to play with and learn difficult tricks with. I had the cannon before, and was trying to do tower stalls and I couldn't do the last wrap around the yoyo. I tried for 3 weeks and I couldn't do it. But I got the atlas and did it in one day! Thanks YoYoTricks!

[@halibutcannon5457]

Next video do some history on the shutter.

[@KingOfAceZ1]

Gentry stein needed a signature yoyo because he was a good player for YYF so they made him one and it was good. he won worlds with it and then it became mad popular, the end

[@halibutcannon5457]

GenoClysm don't be s smart.

[@paullin494]

Javier Ramos i think they are only doing the history of yoyos that they helped make

[@KingOfAceZ1]

There's nothing to that which was smart-ass in any way or whatever. Most signature yoyos and stuff do not really have particularly interesting history. A lot of the time, a professional player for a company is given the opportunity to get a signature, they are asked for what they want/like in a yoyo, they play with a few prototype versions and then it gets made. If they become popular, the yoyo they use also becomes popular and people buy it. The atlas has an interesting story because of jake elliot's decision to compete with a single first-version prototype. And, Jake is one of yotricks players, so they can speak about it and its interesting circumstance. The Atlas is a special yoyo with a special story, and so making a video about it makes sense, from yotricks perspective. However, they probably don't know much about the shutters history, and dont have gentry on standby. And that's implying that the shutter even HAS an interesting history, it very well might just be a yoyo which gentry stein gave his desired specs for and it got made.

When are u guys gonna post a new video cuz I’ve been waiting a long time

[@AWThethrower]

I think that the new civility deserves one of these style reviews by you guys, honestly I think the new design has completely brought the civility up to the highest standard (think one drop). Im literally dying waiting for my atlas and civility to get here (friends tagged on a grabbed a cannon each, though im not rich enough to afford a cannon as well). (Just aesthetics have convinced me to buy the civility, so im sure irs going to play amazing).

[@Jihadbearzwithgunz]

Finally getting one of these to join my collection got the black and silver also understand this is an older video looks killer wanted a little wider yoyo then my arrow and my magic yoyo locus v6

[@Will___Lee]

I already got my Atlas for some week´s and this thing is fucking mind blowing. Best Yoyo i ever played. Thank you for that thing!

[@QankoIvanov]

When i first tried the atlas (my new yoyo) i tried 2:10 cuz it hasn't got that strong spintime . After trying some string tricks i understood that this yoyo is very fast which made it good for horizontal too ( I've learned trapeze (with banana turnover) in my second try. Thanks!

[@yotricks]

Awesome! Glad to hear it.

[@mstz2228]

[@bimomuzakki9379]

[@yotricks]

They are getting closer. I am not sure when we will start releasing them, however.

[@moayad_zh]

how about one for the replay pro or horizon or shutter or civility

[@ABHMughal]

So the Atlas yoyo comes in small Pringles box

[@nictheperson6709]

Let me guess, that yoyo that YoYoFactory was developing for Jake was the Canon wasn't it?

[@AngryHatter]

Atlas was a titan whose punishment after the failed coup was to hold the sky upon his shoulders. About 500 years ago, Geradus Mercator made a book of maps. In the book, he told the story of Atlas. Ever since then, a book of maps has been called an atlas.

[@mianelara5608]

I love this yoyo..I want one to add it to my collection..but I have a big problem here in saudi arabia because of the package im not sure if im hoing to recieve it or not..its very difficult to send package here in saudi..

[@jambalaya1779]

Now it’s available

[@idarthi4603]

I just bought this a few days ago it gets here tomorrow

[@zamzam9140]

I have been having a hard time deciding whether i should get the Space Cadet or the Atlas. I already have the Edge and getting the space cadet would seem a lot nicer since it's good for horizontal tricks and amazing at finger spins, but same with the Atlas. I like the Atlas because of it's special extra wide length and how light and stable it is since I like speed tricks and I miss a lot. The yoyos have things that I want in them but I don't know which one to decide to get. Which one would you guys recommend?

[@zamzam9140]

I was also considering the Forge, but what happened to the yoyo?

[@yotricks]

Out of the 2 we would recommend the Atlas, its wide shape will make it easier for you to land on the string, plus its very stable which will keep it spinning for a long time. The Atlas also has the finger spin dimple which makes it easy to learn fingerspins :)

[@zephyr5556]

When Jake won first place in 5a in 2015, when I watched that video, why did the announcer mentioned "The Yoyofactory Atlas" when he finished performing?. I thought jake gets to name it after he wins

is the Atlas worth the extra money compared to the Canon? I want to get into 5a but I'm not sure which one I want to get

[@jonahobrien8211]

devin williams My main style is 5a, I personally prefer both yoyos, but however because the atlas is SO wide. It would be a lot easier to learn different string tricks

[@user-fb7fi3oe8e]

Yotricks, do you prefer heavier yoyo (about 67 grams) or lighter yoyo (about 63~4 grams)?

[@yotricks]

It depends on the yoyo and what I am doing. I used to prefer yoyos over 67, but lately I have been into the sub 66 yoyos a lot more.

[@avyaypandey8000]

[@AerOR2]

yoyotricks will a half SPEC bearing work to make the boss yo-yo responsive.

[@yotricks]

I don't think so, but it might. In my experience, most yoyos that are not designed specifically for responsive play have bearing seats that are too tall to hold a SPEC bearing when it is screwed together.

[@yotricks]

The counterweight does not come with the Atlas, so you will need to add it on. It used to come with the Atlas, but then we decided to drop the price of the Atlas and remove the counterweight so people weren't paying for something they might not be interested in.

Just aim for the outer edge of the yoyo, instead of aiming for the center. Before long this will become second nature and you will no longer find that the width of your yoyo gets in the way.

what is the best yoyo for horizontal tricks yotricks

[@yotricks]

So far we have found the Atlas is the best yoyo for starting to learn horizontal. Once you are good at it there are a number of other yoyos that also have nice qualities, like the Shutter and Edge. I still personally prefer the Atlas, but I can see why other players would prefer something a little different when they have the basics down.
