The Splosion washing machine is a variation of the Naked Singularity — there is only one difference between the two. Instead of transitioning from the outside star to the inside star through back bird, the flyer now moves across via a shoulderstand on feet (star).
These two washing machines are very similar, so it’s a good idea to practice them together — especially because a third one is coming: the Nataraj, which is a fusion of the previous two.
