Cool. Hope i can participate in this one!
Have several hunches as to what this one is going to be about. Whatever it is, I'm ready. :)

Looking forward to it!
KCC29 - A Tale Of Two Levels
This KCC is a throwback to BKO 2012, http://www.kendama.co.uk/bko2012.html (http://www.kendama.co.uk/bko2012.html) but is split into 2 divisions. You may only enter ONE of the two divisions.
The prize for each division is a brand new Play Pro K plus a velvet pouch to keep it in. The first person to complete gets to choose from Blue or Black.

- Stay in shot the whole time.
- The first forum member to post a video of themselves completing the challenge in this thread is the winner. (Pending approval by the BKA).
- No sneakiness!
- The Winner wins glory and respect from the kendama community, the prize, and the right to set the next KCC.
- If a KCC remains undefeated for 30 days, any prize offered must be donated to BKA for re-assignment to the next challenge. BKA becomes the setter for the next KCC. An undefeated KCC remains open to be cracked after 30 days have passed, but only for glory and respect.

At first I thought this wouldn't be too bad, but my little finger isn't as little as I'd like & I keep getting told of for 'stabbing' the tama! I need more practice...
Not that I'm entering, but I just spent 15 minutes on Part Two, and missed #20. D'oh!
I think this one might not last too long....
AFAIK I've never submitted a video to a KCC, so I may try level 1. It is hard enough for me, specially because I've never been good at Thumb traps
P.S.: I really like the idea of having levels to allow players with less skill (like myself) still have fun.

!! level two
All present and correct, sir! Well done, would you like blue or black?
yeaah I'll go with blue!
Wilco. Oh, and we forgot to say thanks to [user]Kendama Europe[/user] for the Plays, and to [user]Landor[/user] for the pouches. #sponsorsrock
I managed to get to the Thumb trap with only 2 misses, but that last one I need to practice it a lot more.
Here's a demo by Void of Level One. This is not an entry.

Parfait!
Felicitations, vous avez gagné. Nous vous envoyer votre prix demain.
Perfect,
Congratulations, you've done it. We'll post your prize to you tomorrow.
:-)
Très soave, [user]Klemdama[/user], particulièrement le sourir après 'Faster than Gravity'. :)
Thumb trap & pinkie are still causing me problems... frustrating!

Over to Theobau to set number 30 if he wants, but...
New Rule!
If you offer a prize, you must be prepared to send it to either:
i. The winner
or
ii. The BKA, if no-one completes the challenge in 30 days. (for reassignment to another comp)
This new rule is to encourage the setting of "achievable" challenges. Consistency, not difficulty!
consistency is difficult, just another kind of difficulty.
oooh oooh a competition i might actually be able to do! And even if i never score em all and get a video up you can bet your bonnets i'll be trying it! I can actually do most of the things on that top list :) Never tried the pinky think or the thumb trap though. I'm also having severe difficulty trying to land my swing in's, still not caught one, so a reverse one might be beyond me. And I've not really tried going around the world but I can go around japan so how much harder can it be :P
