Title: Outlink 2017!
Post by: Dimensions on 18 January, 2017, 16:53:13
Outlink 2017 is here!
Yes, I am running it, so this will be fun!

So, what is this about? If you haven't competed before these are the rules:

3 - film yourself copying the trick and say the key word
4 - post the video on to YouTube/Vimeo/Juggling TV/Instagram, other video sharing website
5 - post the link to the clip on to this thread before the deadline
6 - let me accept/deny the clip then wait for the next round and repeat

That kendama looks like it is above competition sized - so I should be rejecting your entry. But... it is the first trick of the competition, and an easy one, I'm sure you could do it again if I asked you to and your keen enough to apply. So for this once I will accept your entry.
But of course, next time I will expect a standard, competition sized kendama please.

Hi Dimensions, thank you for the benefit of the doubt. I did it with a Keyaki Ozora  which I believe is standard size. It might be the way I angled my phone when recording that made it look out of proportion. However I can re-do it if needed but won't be until later tonight after cut off. Let me know if you want me to. :)

After some thought on how I'd like to run this competition, I decided to keep it at its roots so I don't allow too many liberties. So unfortunately I am going to reject your entry due to a rather distinct twiddling of the tama before the fast-hand.
But I know you'll get this redone in no time!

I landed it a couple of times last night but the clips are unusable because I was gurning like a madhead with concentration.  I'll try again, maybe with a balaclava!  :o :D :D

That explains why you keep squatting down like that. I recommend putting the kendama down and going to the toilet. Or is a "poo pin" something that you use to keep it in?

Pooping because I couldn't hit a harder trick after the trick that was set.

Actually it's "hear hear!", as in "listen to what that person is saying". Originally "hear him!" (twice).

Go!

Post by: shalafi on 23 February, 2017, 16:59:13
The only times I could practice the trick is when the little ones were sleeping, and then I had to be extra careful to not make much sound, so at the end I didn't practice enough.

Good luck to the rest of the people in.

I like the string slam, I'll practice that one.

Nice one for the speed of entry and the string-slap was all good... but the lighthouse was not still for 3 seconds (no hand movement when the count begins, remember a second is on the last I of Mississippi), and the key words are "To Make" not "To Take"
Sorry, but rejected

Your horizontal earth turns looked good but to be extra sure for next time, could you please face the camera. Thanks
But saying all that, I'm confident you can do it all again

@LarsVegas  that was just fabulous man !!  8)
that little puff after the spike said it all

go go power ranger ! Are you gonna be the winner this year  ;)

:D
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm sitting alone in front of my screen and I'm laughing ... I was really sweating, I was puffing more than you think ... but it's so much fun, especially with this community.
And the winner's going to be someone else, but I'll fight

Lars is the man! Spent all week grinding on a tough trick until he got it down, leveled up and is ready for the next challenge. The true spirit of Outlink!

@Dimensions is the man! This is my fourth year of Outlink and I love it. I'm so happy that Dimensions continues to manage the competition.

I promised to never slap anybody. But well, I'm only slapping something. And yes, this really escalated very quickly ...

2017-02-23, 23:45 - 1/6: String-slap 1-turn Lighthouse + 3sec hold
2017-02-25, 01:24 - 1/6 + 2/6 + 1/6: String-slap 1-turn Lighthouse + 3sec hold ... Earth-turn backward > Earth-turn forward ... Earth-turn sideways
2017-02-26, 17:34 - 1/6 + 1/6 + 2/6 + 1/6 + 1/6: String-slap 1-turn Lighthouse + 3sec hold ... Tradespike ... Earth-turn backward > Earth-turn forward ... Earth-turn sideways ... Earth-turn sideways reverse (mind you, not all in one go, only > means that they were done in sequence, that's just what I achieved at least once at all)

@fiddletriks
The string slap was good, followed up by a very casual 3-second count. As I said, you are allowed to grip change after the tradespike, but what got me is the string moving after, but that isn't changing your grip so that's good to. After were the horizontal earths, the low camera angle made it a little difficult to tell but it looks like the earths are just in my limit. The good thing for you is that the trick is...
Accepted!

Hmmm... The string slap was fine, but the LH count down seemed a little rushed and your body movement made me question the legitimacy of this. I came to this conclusion: it was only just 3 seconds, and this was acceptable due to your hand not moving despite your body swaying throughout.
My next point of concern was the horizontal earth turns, your first was just within 20 degrees but... your second was spiked at almost 45 degs. above the limit.
I can tell you spent a long time on this trick and I am sorry, but I'm going to have to reject this entry. But I'm sure you can do it again :)

Keyword: Outlink
Deadline: 11 March, 19:00 GMT

........


SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
I am giving the chance for 3 previous Outlink participants (from this year) to re-join the competition, but here is how it is working:
If you want to get back in for your chance you must:
- Film this round 5 trick twice (doesn't have to be in one take)
- Both videos must be filmed in two different locations, one inside the other outside
- You must be holding an object in your weak hand whilst performing the trick and for each video it must be different
- The first 2 re-entry posters will re-join the competition
- The third re-entry will be judged base off creativity of the two videos by myself
- Please post both videos as one submission

So all these people are eligible to re-enter:

I'm out (for the moment). But what did I achieve in round 4:
- String-slap 1-turn Lighthouse + 3sec hold
- Tradespike > Earth-turn backward > Earth-turn forward
- Earth-turn forward > Earth-turn sideways
- Earth-turn sideways reverse
As I only could do normal earth-turn before, I'm quite happy with that. Still, I'm a little bit sad, to quit already in round 4. The difficulty really rises from year to year...

BUT: I'll try hard to get back in - that's a great idea. Again, I can do none of these tricks, so being among the first two is even harder ... I'll have a try ... can't quit now.

I'm fine with rules. They make it clear what's required, everyone singing to the same hymnsheet, and people can decide whether they want to enter or not, based on them. A competition without rules, or with unclear rules, is daft. So, hurray for rules!

But I don't like it when rules change in the middle of a competition. Now I don't know if they'll be going to change again. I guess this new rule was based on Jak's SISI rule, where you could skip one trick.... But that applied to everyone. Will the 7 of us who have got through so far be given a similar lifeline to the one you just offered to everyone else?

Sorry if I sound grumpy, and no offence to the other 15: I do indeed hope you'll all take the chance you've been offered. And I love the have-a-go attitude[nb]Parker Square[/nb] that everyone's displaying in this comp. I'll still carry on doing my best, and trying to get as far as I can, but it's hard enough trying to beat all the excellent players around here, without having to beat some of them twice!  :) Hmmm.

Oh well, so it goes. Onwards....

I agree with you. Already the deadline shift felt a bit weird to me. Then the out-of-nowhere second chance came up. In the SISI comp, you had to film all the tricks anyway, in the end. You were just allowed to miss one deadline and then post both vids before the next. That being said, I am a bit unclear, if we need to film round 4 anyway. But I am not submitting round 5 unless I film round 4 as well. That wouldn't feel right. Might have a go tomorrow, plan to film tricks for the EKO tricklist, which we are hoping to make public soon! Driftiiiing awaaaaayyyyyyyyyy from the topic here... Anyway, I kind of have a feeling that Rob was disappointed in how many people got eliminated so early on into the comp, hence the change of rules.. But yeah, his comp, his rules, take 'em or leave 'em. I for one will take a shower now ;) happy clicking everyone! :)

Update, for those interested...
I spent about 45 minutes today on this, with minimal success. There's no way I'm going to be as cool as @KenSan and rock it on my first try!
Thanks for all the advice @DanieLambert - it's actually the earth turn that I find the hardest. It's usually too fast. Finding that sweet spot is a rare occurrence. I also have trouble throwing the earth turn too high, and when I try and kenflip it pulls the string tight and implodes into chaos.
Either way, I hit the pull-up about 5 times in total, and about 3 very, very shabby "whirlwinds" so there's still hope!

Admittedly, I didn't expect so many people to be out so early, and I thought this would make it a bit more interesting with a handful of comebacks in the mix. I will think about a bonus for the 7 soon (which I wasn't going to announce, but was intending)

Title: Re: Outlink 2017!
Post by: KenSan on 05 March, 2017, 09:43:26
Thanks @John The whilwind earth turn was actually one of those tricks that was (and still is) very in fashion when I started playing kendama a couple of years ago! So Ive been grinding on it for most of that time.

As for executing it, like @DanieLambert says accentuate your movements. Go low with the knees- your ken should be almost horizontel, but obviously not to the point of the tama falling off-then as you move up from the knees, the ken will start to straighten up and the momentum of when your at the peek will take the tama off the spike and almost start the earth turn naturally, without to much forced movment from your wrist.
This should keep the earth turn slow. Now just keep your eye on the tama and perform the whirlie in you peripheral vision trying to keep close enough to the tama not to yank it-then go down with the knees for the catch!

You will be supprised how much you can actually slow it down and still perform the trick!

Hope this helps. Good luck and see you in the next round!

Outline - the curse of Autocorrect!

Here's my go. It came out a bit dark when I filmed it, so I added a brightness/saturation filter. Hope you can see it okay - please use the JTV Flash player's slo-mo button, or download the original file if you need more clarity. Cheers.

Hmmm. The first part is causing me a lot of trouble at the moment, mainly because my whirlies are quite slow. By the time I've caught the ken, the tama is rocketing towards the ground, and a higher lift usually results in a yanked string. I'm still confident I'll get it, but it might be close to the wire...
Title: Re: Outlink 2017!
Post by: The Void on 13 March, 2017, 11:50:09
Go @John !
My Wws aren't that strong, but they improved after I adopted Adam's "twiddle from the middle" approach: Fingers and thumbs all gripping above the slip grip, and a little bit below the sarado (for clearance). Give it a try, and see if it works for you.

The swing in was the right movement, but the tama didn't rotate, therefore making it a muscle spike
Sorry, but rejected

Same goes for me, John. I have a vague memory of a session with someone(s) years back when we were just giving it some whoomph and seeing how many-Turn JSticks we could get. I got a something-Turn. Maybe 4, who knows. But that's it.

Meanwhile, gave this a go this afternoon...
And got it!

Then I checked the video, and my 4-Turn JS was 75% successful. Oh well, I guess I'll be getting some exercise this weekend, weather permitting.

I'm glad to hear your enthusiasm over the contest, but unfortunately I'm going to have to say no as this hadn't been pre-warned to anyone else.
Concerning the round 5 re-entry thing I attempted, and if this option had been taken advantage of - (as I had said,) all those who had got that far would have been given an advantage too. But as this did not happen, the original rules will remain standing.
I'm sad to see you go, but keep clicking for us!

Nice work! I've spent about an hour on this today. A long, difficult hour (apparently reverse build the lighthouses are not as easy as regular ones) and the few times I got to the j-sticks, they unsurprisingly got nowhere near to clicking (or maybe they did! It's all a roll of the dice). I would be highly surprised if I landed this, but looking forward to seeing your video for inspiration. :)

Post by: Dimensions on 26 March, 2017, 18:39:47

There were 4 in frame rotations, which raises the question of if there was an extra when it was not. By looking at the upwards rotations it seems unlikely, so benefit of the doubt...

Sorry chaps. You're all way better than me and I'm a little out of my depth, but trying!
I had almost no time today to practice, but when I did, I got a stroke of luck and actually managed to land the 4x jumping stick... and then proceeded to fluff by far the easiest part of the whole combo, back to lighthouse. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I laughed.

@Dimensions I did have a 15 minute window earlier for one last effort actually, and I did exactly the same thing as yesterday and fluffed the final spike. Guess it was never meant to be. :)

@The Void It's all good! I never expected to get as far as I did and quite proud of how far my playing has come because of Outlink. I really wish I could have participated in a few more from previous years, but really had to put kendama (and pretty much everything else) on the backburner for quite a long time during my time in Cambodia. This was great for me and am hoping there will be more challenges on here to keep me busy in the coming months. Good luck in the competition!

Question: On the "Flip to Candle" part, you seem to make two throw movements, very close together: ken, then tama. Can we do that (two throws), or must it be one move that throws both tama and ken together? Or can we do either?
Title: Re: Outlink 2017!
Post by: Dimensions on 30 March, 2017, 17:59:46
Fast Throw/1-Juggle, anything as long as the ken rotates

Accepted!

Unfortunately your friend did neither the correct trick nor say the key words, so I'll have to reject his entry :)

Lunars and axes are 2 of my favourite tricks - I love stalls in general, really. Candlesticks feel uncomfortable for me and are right at the bottom of my list, along with juggles and taps. So this is a very yin and yang trick for me. And you will absolutely land it soon Void, I have no doubt :)

Ill say that any big/little cup can be in any order, for the 1-turn LH I just found it easier to start with the little cup. But grip wise should be the same as mine

Right, I've not had a lot of time to spend on this one, and I'm off to BJC tomorrow, so I've probably finished with it. (I'm not going to spend time at BJC on it - I'm going to talk to my friends instead. :) ) Which is another way of saying I wasn't good enough. I may have another quick blast if I get time in the morning.
Well, here are my best goes:

I'm sure Ewan and Paul will beat that, so good luck to them, and well done 'Zilla.
One way or another, that's me out of Outlink, so thanks to Rob for running it. It's been fun, educational, and tiring! :-)

i dont think i can land this trick in this year.  double flip juggles are way too hard and those are 3 :D
i personally find that it would be cool to have a trick which anyone of us 2 can complete. not just struggle all the way down to them juggles and who gets the furthest attempt wins.  but thats just my opinion, all up to you

This is my submission @Dimensions.

To be honest, I was on the verge of giving up on the last round and completely knackered myself in the process of getting it. I spent the first day this new trick was set, trying the 2-turn lightning 2-turn light house for hours and wasn't getting it down. 2-turn juggles are completely new to me, so three to spike was never gonna happen in three days  ;D Didn't have time/energy yesterday to practice and have just now managed to get this easier version - wanted to finish the comp on a make! plus it's time for bed soon..

As neither of you completed the full set combo, Outlink is now over. Here is my verdict:
@paulsayer, certainly a valiant attempt you put forward for us, but I did set a lightning drop as the first trick of the combo, you did a spacewalk. 'Zilla did successfully complete parts 1 & 2 of the combo, therefore the winner is........

@oesterzilla!

Please PM me your address so I can get a prize off to you as soon as possible. Well done!

Thanks to all those who competed this year and a second congrats to Paul for getting the silver this year. I don't know about the rest of you, but I certainly enjoyed running Outlink.

And for all who want to know the full sentence:
Dimensions is going to make Outlink difficult initiating identification of titular threats for the next E/BKO

Paul & 'Zilla, I hope to see you both at one of them

Again, thanks to all!

-Rob
