Wish I could come but sadly I can't

[Dimensions]

Could possibly make an appearance...

[BenBenVx]

This is not far from me at all... no doubt I will be showing my face!

[The Void]

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.

[BKA]

Updated with Beginner's tricklist. See first post above.

[BenBenVx]

any idea when the advanced ladder will be announced??

[BKA]

Within the next 7 days. Perhaps sooner...

[BKA]

Updated with Intermediate tricklist. See first post above.

[shalafi]

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.

[the milky oolong]

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.

[BKA]

Updated with Advanced tricklist. See first post in thread.

[Dimensions]

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?

[The Void]

Cool. [user]Paul_S[/user] is coming, and possibly [user]Cand1ez[/user] too.

We're going with "competition size" for LKO.
