Does anyone else feel daunted not by the prospect of landing the trick, but of getting enough people to jump on the bandwagon so as to tick the party box?

Chuck some Nick Lowe on the stereo. We're all partying together here, anyway.
If you don't want to BUY MY BOOKS 😉, then why not ask your local library to order them in, and read them for free? That would help too. Cheers!

One (wo)man super party is totally acceptable. That's how I'd probably do it. But you have to make up for the lack of people by partying harder on your own!

[user]DamaLife24[/user], [user]The Void[/user], [user]Dimensions[/user], [user]Kev[/user], [user]kendamatty[/user], [user]SamB[/user], [user]mreasyguy[/user], [user]Dimensions[/user], [user]the milky oolong[/user], [user]jsirois31[/user], [user]shalafi[/user], [user]donald grant[/user] & [user]Sonicpearse[/user] are now entered into the prize draw for rounds 76-100.

Next trick is:
100. [from Sara grip] > Reverse Whirlwind (& optional Earth Turn)
-Whilst having a party
-Start with a loaded ken in sara grip
-Move your hand in an anticlockwise rotation so your little finger is moving upwards and thumb downwards
-This means the spike with the tama on it is now pointing the floor
-Flick the tama off for an anticlockwise spinning earth turn (optional but I think easier)
-Throw the ken so it rotates anticlockwise, base cup moving up and to the left
-Allow the ken to rotate in the air 270-360 degrees
-Catch the ken in sara grip
-Spike the tama
-Continue to party

Trick Rules
- You cannot reply to your own trick.
- You must wait to re-enter until 5 other people have done a combo after you set one.
- You must wait to have your attempt verified by the previous setter before setting the next step.
- Use any competition-sized kendama.
- You should start the new transition from the finish position of the previous trick. i.e. You can just place the kendama into position. You don't have to do the previous move, but you can if you want to. But if so remember to...
- Hold the start and finish positions of the combo still for a couple of seconds please.
Video Rules (To help for a nicer compilation video)
- Make sure you have adequate lighting. Please film in daylight if possible. Clips usually look very poor in artificial light.
- Please film in Landscape, not Portrait, not Square.
Successful entrants get put in the prize draw.
[user]The Void[/user], [user]donald grant[/user], [user]DamaLife24[/user], [user]shalafi[/user] & [user]SamB[/user] must sit out round 100.
Good luck everyone!

Peter and I had a session at the party, but there were way too many interested newcomers wanting to try it out, and we quickly shifted into newbie coaching mode and had to forego the Endless Combo shot. Drat! Consider it a sacrifice for the greater good of kendama: I gave away two worn-in kendamas on the back of it :)
