Hmm, thinking about it, mine was a triangle placement, rather than an actual drop. Still, nice trick though.

Anyone up for a skype/facetime game of KEN? Offer open until 16:20GMT. Gone.
If you don't want to BUY MY BOOKS 😉, then why not ask your local library to order them in, and read them for free? That would help too. Cheers!

Self certified to 1st Dan today. Pretty nerve racking! And I didn't cost me anything!! Hopefully I will replicate that if I ever get the chance to do grading.
Quick question as well regarding the around the tricks, earth turns, j-sticks etc. Can they  follow on continuously from each other or are they each from a hanging start?
3rd place @ BKO 2016 Adv. Division. :-)

They are each separate. Not connected.

Well done!

Today I... watched this a few times over the morning coffee.


Reasonably acceptable. #litotes

Nice one, Rob!
Today I went a bit "tramline" out of curiosity, and hit double juggle to spike, and pull up slinger fast throw one turn lighthouse. Don't worry, will get back to doing weird stuff again tomorrow :) Happy Chinese new year, everyone!

Today I decided which tricks to film for E.K.O. :) (Not announced yet.)

Hey, Rob, ballsy stuff indeed, my man!

Today I filmed a new line, 1-Turn Aeroplane > Fast Hand String Pinch Small Cup > Fast Hand 1,5 Aeroplane. At least I remember doing so, as I even watched the footage back to make sure it was all in frame. Got home and the file is gone, maybe fell out of my SD card on the ride home.  :-[

How annoying! It was probably the gravitational waves, milky. :(
I remembered to do an IKO run, and struggled with the last trick again. The rest were okay though.

Your practicing of the IKO list may pay off already for outlink #3 :)

Oh, yes, today I published outlink trick #3

@shalafi Yes it did.
@mreasyguy Blimey, that must have been a relief - I remember you almost getting that at our first Cardiff jam. Didn't you say you'd got it off-camera?

@The Void I have got it a few times before an always missed the damn spike or just not been filming, just happy to put it to rest for now haha!

donald grant

Mr e, that was nicely done!

Yesterday I landed a 5 arm bounce to spike (no idea why)  and a few weird string things that would take too long to describe.... :)
