[Kendama Denmark]

Yes, all of them are speed ladders!

Just out of curiosity what is snake tap? From the video it just looks more or less like an orbit, is there some tapping involved?
Ah and finally around Denmark written down, love that trick!

[The Void]

Snake Tap looks to me like:
Big Cup>(Orbit & reverse tap) to Big Cup> Spike finish

My first go at the Pro ladder? - 26 minutes! Oh boy. This is why I like to give people several months to learn a new ladder.  A week to improve that drastically, or surrender meekly to Dane-Power.

[The Void]

A mere 14 minutes today. At this rate, I should have it well under 60 seconds by next week!

[shalafi]

Insane!! I'm afraid I have to drop this one, too many things to attend.

Have fun!

Ladders!

[The Void]

In the last few days I've done 10m15, 14, 10m30, 8, 9m15, [gave up after 26], and today... 4mins and 2m45!

Shinen! Koko no nebari!

Having a fun night eating pizza and playing DAMA at the DK HQ. A good warm-up session for tomorrow.

That was awesome today! -Great to meet you, Void! (Still training on the little and basecup lift-up from the floor)

Cool, keep going, you'll get it! Were you the guy in the CNN t-shirt? If so, well done on your win (Beg/Int Best trick, right?)! (He got the artwork, Donald - keep it in the forum! )

A great weekend, had a blast, and it was a great event. I will post pictures and write some more when I'm home tonight.....

[The Void]

I've been catching up on sleep, so no review from me yet. In the meantime, here's a little taster vid from Hashim.

[theobau]

I was the guy in the CNN shirt, yeah! -and I did win the intermediate ladder and best freestyle trick!

I'm getting pretty good at the small cup - lift-up thing (have been very close to do it with base cup)

That was an awesome event! Right now I'm trying to figure out tricks with the 5-cup ozora, I won (really interesting thing -harder than it seem though)

-I'm going to review it for you guys when I have time!
