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 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](https://m.youtube.com/@mryoyothrower/videos), 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? ---
