[@EvanNagao]

Such an insanely difficult freestyle

[@the_daniel_wu]

you had a super good freestyle to evan

[@HanByrneCox]

man he is good but if he did not messed up in the last part he would win in first place maybe

[@r_kimmyyy]

says you Evan

[@HanByrneCox]

I think . hey go chuck my youtube videos

[@HanByrneCox]

just light you guys know the last part is very important, he win the last years 2th so he is the best of the best

[@uli_ses1363]

I'm so happy to see Gentry FINALLY taking some risk on doing new tricks. It was a great routine!

[@MonicateNeto]

Ulises Bustos te amo

[@EOS44]

HOLY CRAP. Literally almost all of his tricks were new. Dang. What an amazing amazing fs.

[@chandlersteele]

Gentry leveled up

[@Angel2Up]

LOVE the risk put into here

[@colinbecko]

gentry killed it with this one, call it what you want but it is not easy to go clean with new tricks like he did here.

[@ezracer]

Colin Beckford your freestyle was awesome too. I was really surprised when I saw you do 3A too. Awesome job this Nationals!

[@hamdogcs]

Exactly. It's like cooking everything in the microwave and being REALLY GOOD at it, but then switching to the oven because your new apartment which you had to move into for your job didnt have a microwave and only an oven, and then becoming REALLY GOOD at using the oven.

[@EvanNagao]

ham dog wow those were some Shakespeare level metaphors right there

[@hamdogcs]

My mommy always said i was a natural born poet.

[@patrickroncoski5706]

Ok, I was expecting an amazing freestyle from Gentry, and thats exactly what I'd got. But I'm surprised by the amount of new tricks he has! Gentry is at USA top 3 since 2011, which is something spetacular. Well, this WYYC might be spetacular as well!!

[@metalboy5150]

Holy CRAP it is so good to see Gentry back on form with some new tricks! He wasn't lying, that was almost entirely new stuff. You KILLED here, Gentry. Can't wait to see what it looks like when you've polished it up a bit.

[@alzai5968]

when this routine is completed and perfected. this is gonna be a beast routine.

[@CuttingSlack]

Best gentry freestyle so far, well done

[@KL-vl9ed]

This is the first time I've been satisfied by a Gentry routine in a while. I loved the new tricks!

[@PrinceVortex]

this is alot of fun to watch, can't wait to see how he perfects this freestyle/ style in the future

[@darciejones7271]

Hey, cousin! You did great in this competition! I hope all is well with you, McCallen, & Aunt Carol. Keep up striving for those goals to be met! Love you!

[@spitmacabre]

Best Gentry freestyle in years! Also some next level horizontal stuff!

[@anthonymordocco8136]

Wow, all in the top 3 are yoyofctory players. Yyf has some boss players

[@drewbuscemi8246]

Really loved this freestyle, its refreshing to see him change things up with his routine.

[@Glumkatmusic]

Lots of respect to Gentry completely changing his style and pulling it off this clean still. Really awesome freestyle.

[@HolyRiceboy]

Dang the new routine worked！！The war between gentry and evan just started.

[@shaybob1711]

As much as I love Shion and am in awe of his skills, I really hope Gentry or Evan take worlds this year.

[@EvanNagao]

#shanghaishowdown

[@ibsyoyo]

the king is back

[@매칭주작]

He is 2018 champion in my mind.

[@silveriopasumbal9492]

매칭주작 me too

[@JohnWhite-tw7yk]

So glad Gentry has more tricks. Great job Gentry. Win worlds please

[@heckerfrick9437]

Well-

[@shaybob1711]

Definitely enjoyed this performance over his performance last year at worlds. It just flowed so much better. Also, say what you will about Gentry but each time he goes on stage he is using the Shutter, which is is by far one of the best budget options out there for performance throws. He even won nationals with a freaking Replay Pro, which I cant maintain stability with to save my life.

[@ConnorSeals]

I wish the camera were able to properly capture the awesomeness of the horizontal seasick at 2:23. I remember it being one of the most incredible looking tricks in person but doesn’t look as good on camera with this angle :/

[@JustAnotherYoYoEr]

Connor Seals I hadn't noticed, but it's definitely great

[@JustAnotherYoYoEr]

Thanks for pointing it out!!!

[@Pre-Omniscient]

Hey didn’t Zacc do a horizontal outside-the-wrist seasick once or was that something else

[@Yoyoprojon]

Yeah, I recall him doing that too

[@MPthanos]

I remember when Ogi attempted his variant of horizontal seasick on stage and it was crazy when he pulled it off. Such a difficult concept

[@En5an3]

best gentry freestyle in ages!

[@masonplayz4519]

Me and old thrower from 2004: brain twister, atomic bomb, double trapeze..how much different can yoyo's be now??? Turns on youtube: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Yoyoprojon]

That behind the back horizontal combo starting at 2:39 though. Too sick.

[@Pre-Omniscient]

0:54 really love that snake GT, gonna have to learn it myself

[@scanerang]

if you view it at 0.25 speed you can see and hear the trick match perfectly to the beat

[@austinpowers4626]

What a bootiful freestyle.

[@wav6hamad]

Incredible style transformation

[@jackskelington5690]

Respect

[@dasick91]

The Ronaldo of Yo-Yoing aka Gentry Stein!

[@ahmedhamza3939]

that's what i feel also

[@amberlimacher5168]

Gentry please post more videos on your channel

[@awyoyo7258]

GOOD job gentry

[@psharmacgk]

really digging the new trick set, I'm assuming next year will feature more music cues which would put this over the top

[@ridzwanngataman6585]

My surrounding temperature. Before watch = 37˚ watched = 999999˚

[@thomashoney]

❤ I love this fre

[@PatrickCanny]

ROOOBOT

[@taruyaxo]

젠트리 ㄹㅇ개미쳐씀..

[@prod.eenigma]

That tech tho

[@theritta3131]

Haha………　his performance is evolving every year!

[@yoyoflow_0429]

So good

[@squareyoyoer640]

Another iconic yoyo freestyle song is here, right next to "razor sharp"

[@giepaubutac7283]

Title pls

[@LogicBiotic]

He did an unclean job this year, but man, he had so many new tricks up his sleeve. His music use isn't as seamless compared to other years, but he had good bangers timed well.

[@jmctigret]

Amazing

[@isaacviteri9564]

Wow is that tech?!

[@prod.eenigma]

Isaac Viteri I CANT BELIEVE IT

[@justinstratton8009]

Could you please upload the rest of the 1a freestyles because I know these were the best but there are other amazing ones

[@JustAnotherYoYoEr]

That was a solid freestyle

[@horemenang333]

Love it

[@maratginiyatullin3810]

Pls someone teach me the meta bind he does at 1:01. I don’t get how you unwind the string so smooth like a spool right after you regenerate the yoyo. When I try it just binds

[@maxstadnyk4648]

Marat Giniyatullin dude, go to yotricks

[@jaetul2099]

Gentry and Evan

[@mojesblunt9739]

what song is that?

[@luckeyli9160]

New Gentry

[@giepaubutac7283]

Music please

[@rodrigoramirez1150]

yoyo is shutter or shutter wide angle???????

[@gloryrod86]

Rodrigo Ramirez wide angle

[@rodrigoramirez1150]

thanks¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@aarondahl1181]

Its so hard to see the string, aahhhh

[@gaowen6066]

[@gavingonzalez7174]

I guess choreographing over powers trick creativity

[@triaxica]

I remade the song :P

[@semihdyngyldai4503]

STEEEEEIIN!!!

[@christophobia6415]
