Shame. There’s so much more to it than string hits!

I did ask Spencer when I had a chance and yes the technically correct way to do it has the bounces because it is a kamikaze-inspired trick. So the CLYW Cabin Tut and others missing that are incompletely teaching the intro.
W.r.t. “rules lawyering” I think it’s more like if you were to do kamikaze without hopping into the top string before falling into the mount. It’s the last piece of flair that gives a trick its signature look without which it just appears to be missing something.

That does amusingly leave it in a spot where the two far and away most viewed rancid milk tutorials are both slightly off.

whip to kamikaze looks light years better than a hop and a drop in my eyes. like as soon as i learned how to do it i have not entered kamikaze once from a houdini mount. in my eyes its a tweak that gives it a flair that improves upon the original method and adds a degree of difficulty. both methods get the trick done and neither prevents the technical execution of the trick, but they have two distinct visual appeals and not everyone will agree on which way looks better. i think that’s what Henry was going for is there is a difference between a change or visual tweak to a trick that’s preference vs a change in the trick that breaks the function of the trick

If you want to keep doing the intro to rancid milk incorrectly I’m not going to stop you but I’m also not going to say you’re doing the trick completely correctly
ETA: money, mouth, etc

Haven’t been following for a while. Caught up in business most of the time. Anyway I knew this one and it was a classic so I had to record.
Let me know if I’m doing it wrong or missing a hop or something.

TaW Week 13 -Rancid Milk
Yeah, I know my pops suck (I think that is the hardest part of the trick for me). Regardless, getting through this one is huge for me because this is one of those tricks that seemed so far out of reach for me when I first started yoyoing.

The YYS Ambassador program doesn’t mean you can’t post or promote another store, they just asked if we were already in some kind of ambassador agreement with another brand. Making posts and tagging YYE isn’t really the same thing. YYE is also much broader than just a store, it’s a community that has a shop, forums, learning, etc. The stores might be competitors, albeit somewhat friendly I would imagine since the yoyo world isn’t that huge, but it’s not a violation of the Ambassador thing to post tricks and tag YYE.

Nah. I talked to Noel and he says there is a conflict of interest.
I will participate in 5a may though (if and when that comes up). I will simply use my YouTube and not my Instagram account.

Hmm, that’s interesting. I guess it makes sense as a conflict of interest.
Yeah. Imagine being a brand ambassador for yys and tag or actively promote yye…
I guess it comes down to “actively promote”. If there’s a contest something like that hosted by YYE, I could see both sides of how it could be interpreted. Ambassador and sponsorship are 2 different things. I’m a YYS Ambassador too, so it might be good to get some further clarification. Glad you brought it up.

Solution is easy. Upload to youtube and submit here. No active promotion taking place as I see it.
