I’ve definitely broken a lot of these, firstly the playing with a knot and letting my friend play with it (he’s a thrower too). And I very often just learn a mount from a tutorial then take it off in my own direction for original material. And plenty of slack tricks can be done with a responsive yoyo (just watch Ed or Drew). And sometimes you can only carry one throw with you. and technically all ball bearing yoyos are a subtype of “transaxle” and it’s perfectly fine to do 1A with them (or plastic transaxles).
Thou shall not cry over dinged yoyos
Thou shall not use cotton string
Thou shall not pass up a yyf mystery bag/box
Thou shall not scorn clyw,od,c3 and ect
Thou shall not limit yourselves to the confines of standards or rules followed by the norm, for yoyoing is creative freedom, limits being ones imagination and desire to achieve. (Oh and you must have a yoyo)
I always carry my DM2, my Yomega Hotshot (For those friends who want to play) and a simple looper. Every once in a while I carry around my looper with the 5A attachment, and one time I played 4A in public. I’m not good at it though.
