Today I put some kendamas in a box to take to a field for 2 weeks.

Well done John.

In the last few days I've filmed a few tricks in a field, and at the seaside.

I haven't watched anyone's videos lately, and won't for another week at least, because I have weak internet here. I'll catch up...

Meanwhile, ONLY 1 week left to send me yr collab clips! http://kendama.co.uk/collab

Nicely done, John.  Hope you're enjoying the buttercups, Void!

Went for a little play down at the beach today, surprised myself with a couple of bird - swing to small birds and a penguin earth turn - reverse earth turn.
Also managed a few grind around japans thanks to a slippery tama

In between EKO practice, had a short session today with
- Gunslinger to slip grip special
- Lighthouse to stilt to in

[Dimensions]

2-turn opposite crazy lighthouse! By accident, of course, but I managed to keep it balanced for waaaaaaay to long.
Also swing up 3-turn UFO!

Nice work everyone.

Today, I mostly swore at video encoding software.

@The Void I agree on the artificial light. Sometimes it feels like there is a film over my eyes when I jam at work under the factory lights.

Today, using my brand new Ozora Keyaki with it's incredible bird grip, I got an Around Europe, but Birds instead of spikes! Though when I got to the bottom cup, the string was screwed up so I moved it.
It was still satisfying as heck though!
And right after I got it, it started raining 

And is there a specific name for that trick?

[The Void]

I reckon it's "Bird Europe".
Nice work!

Admittedly it was yesterday and not today but I landed and actually held my first 1-turn lighthouse. Although haven't got my head round the 1-turn airplane yet. I'll keep you posted. [emoji3]
