Yo sorry I got another rules lawyer question :sweat_smile:. So for a trick like bucket stall, is that specific entry part of the trick and required or can I just stall in the same mount but use a different entrance? Thanks y’all!

4 Likes

Yeah, feel free to use whatever entrance you like. :smile:

I’d count that.

Ohh thank you I’ll take a look at that

Not getting super picky if you bring in some variation on the entry or the exit I think we are still chill as long as the core of the trick is completed. We aren’t picky we would love to see cool stuff over making yall do what was specifically shown. Especially with something like a bucket stall where entry doesn’t honestly matter it’s landing the bucket.

If the variation is too far from the original trick then that’s different though.

I’ve struggled with bucket stall and it’s bothered me for a long time because I love the classic drop in bucket so now I hopefully nail it lol. Either way I will get practice in hahha
