Takeshi Kamisato unveiled Top Tangler at 2004 Nationals in Chico. My head exploded.
While attempting to learn Top Tangler in 2008, David Buhrmester came up with Synthetic Tangler. My eyeballs popped out of my exploded head.
I like to think of David as the Doc Pop of top spinning. Genius player. He has a TON of videos up on you tube. If you think you’ve come up with something new for spin tops, watch these videos before hoisting your flag.
