Updated.
See above.
Wish I could come but sadly I can't :(
Could possibly make an appearance...
This is not far from me at all... no doubt I will be showing my face!
Cool. Hopefully a few of the UK players who are less active on the forum will manage to make an appearance too.
There will be some prizes, btw. (Not sure exactly what yet.)
Tricklists will be released in January.
Updated with Beginner's tricklist. See first post above.
any idea when the advanced ladder will be announced??
Within the next 7 days. Perhaps sooner...
Updated with Intermediate tricklist. See first post above.
Nice tricks. I thought stab directly from trapeze was difficult, but stopping on base cup is much easier.
Also, I didn't knew the name of Dragon Curl. It's cool.
Good luck, people! Intermediate trick #2 is more of a line than a good line than a trick, but sure to be fun on the day and under pressure. Destined to be a great event any old way.
Updated with Advanced tricklist. See first post in thread.
I really like the variety of tricks on these lists
It seems likely I could attend

<edit>
is it any kendama can be used, or BKA approved only?
Cool. [user]Paul_S[/user] is coming, and possibly [user]Cand1ez[/user] too.
We're going with "competition size" for LKO.
awww dangit I'm gonna have to learn the intermediate ones aren't I? already feel I can stomp all over beginner
:-)
I'm in.
And all be be bringing my camera so we can get some tricks film too.
Nice one, Andy!

Roughly what time will it end?
Trickers have "Battles" scheduled for 7pm, so I'd guess we'd be all done by 6. Maybe earlier...
Good to meet new faces/players today. Cheers to everyone who was involved!

Great day! Good to meet you all and chill.. my first ever comp of any kind, pleased with the wins =]=]
Had fun meeting up with new people and being whooped in 7-to-spike ;D
Good fun at LKO yesterday! A reasonable turnout, boosted significantly by the Midlands yo-yo posse coming along to play. Big thanks to [user]jordanfung[/user] for hosting us, everyone who came (especially [user]Efect[/user] and Bartek who made it along for just a couple of hours!), and our lovely and kind sponsors!
