Would it be so bad to enter this from actual Skin the Gerbil? Or is it not correct unless you start from Double Trapeze?

nah totally fine, dude, that looked great! the only part of skin the gerbil that’s missing is the initial 2 flips but certainly not wrong to have em in there!

I like it with the 2 spins at the beginning. It’s pretty much part of what I always do. The GT was the only thing I hadn’t done before so it feels good to add that. I may post another video before the week is over as I’m not too happy with my dismount as it is. If anyone is out in the winter storm be careful.

I’ve been wanting to do TAW forever…Let’s do this! Forgive me as I figure out the forums. I’m still figuring this all out! I can’t upload straight from my photo gallery? Is that right? Uploaded to YouTube and that worked. Hopefully I can keep up with you guys!! Looking forward to leveling up my skills by joining!

I’ve completed the trick several times, I can’t record right now because my family is chilling in about every room that I can record a decent video in.

I have been inspired by all the versions with revolutions as it looks so good in this trick!

Got it down a bit smoother and combined with the trick Loopsidaisy, with added revolutions, as it starts the same and flows nicely back into slash gerbil.

@DocPop recently released a great tutorial for the trick Robot! I’ve been practicing it a bit, and it’s a very simple trick, but the challenge comes in when you try to make it look nice.

I think that could be a very fun trick for this thread, maybe some week?
