Learned this little number, thought this was Sisyphus, typed the Japanese into Youtube and found that it's Secret Grip > Base Cup and back. So why's the trick called 'Contact Slip' in a literal translation? Anyway, that's about all the kendama I got to play today:

Kendama Berlin
German Kendama Open 2014: 1st Place Speed Trick, 2nd Place Knockout
German Kendama Championships 2015: 3rd Place Speed Trick
KEN FEST Hannover, 2016: 3rd Place KEN Battle
KENDAMA CLASH Berlin 2016: 1st Place Intermediate

Never been very good in stall tricks but in the last couple days I managed to get:

- Normal grip  slip grip special>small bird> earth turn spike
- Secret grip > slip grip special > clifftop  (now just to catch that spike...)

That Croix is a slip grip magnet for some reason.
Kendama Belgium!

Today I got my 2015 JKA membership card, to match my BKA one.

@shalafi when you say 'trap', thats like when you hold the trick in place with the opposite hand right? or am i thinking of something else?

shalafi

Yes PikWik, it is like that. I did all the traps with the index finger of the other hand. Outlink had a trick which was a trap combo.

Good day at the Outdoors festival today, jamming with a bunch of clicking dudes. Fresh inspiration and got some new tricks in the brain.

Great afternoon in the park with this crew. I hit my first Around The Galaxy, and Reverse Whirlwind Earth Turn (twice), plus some of my new tricks from yesterday's brain. Which are no doubt hitting IG already.

around the galaxy is - around the bird with a bird flip at the end right??
