Presented for your approval:

Bonus entry schway!  
I have wanted to learn this since I saw doc pop do it a while ago, then recently really wanted to learn it, and with docs video of it and literally no other tutorials or videos I did put it on the backburner for after regionals was done so I could dive into that video and just watch it until I got it. Definitely thankful for Connors video on this 🙂 but coming off of rocky mountain regionals this weekend today I’ve barely touched a yoyo haha but I got basic version down and I’ll keep working it until I get it wicked good!

Using  
SLAPPASS and gummy weight from Jake Bullock

I noticed that most of the guys do another tangler than the one shown in the video. The one shown in the video was new for me. Do all tanglers count? I managed to learn the one presented by English tea just in case.

I would use this tutorial instead, the tutorial linked this week is kinda weird. I’d consider it to be more of a one handed pinched pinwheel than a traditional tangler. I hadn’t actually watched the trick and just assumed because of the name that it was just supposed to be a normal tangler. The tutorial linked this week is definitely not a normal tangler.

I thought English Tea showed some variation. In addition, he mentioned that this is a “one-armed variation” or something like this. I still decided to try the classic version. But if this is necessary, I can post it separately, exactly as in the English Tea tutorial.

I have the english tea version recorded and will upload it soon. (Still need to learn meltdown).

Can somebody confirm if this is the version to go with? (Talking about the entries, since I can do both versions anyway).

P.s : As a rule of thumb I follow the tuts here. This is my first 5a may and I try to stick to the rules. Did the same with e-fan. I only knew the you know who app version and had to start over in order to gain as many entries as possible.  
Thanks.

Lol! I can’t do 2 handed tanglers to save my life. So I just showed a one handed. I mean they just asked me for trick tuts so I just did the one si do frequently… I’m also the absolute worst at making tuts, so if anyone learned anything from me then you’re good!
