The sun was shining for a change, so I took a walk.

Nice video. Good tricks, chill out feeling.

I was expecting the windwalker - bird over valley to end with another wingwalker on the small cup... As if it was not hard enough as it is :-)

I really liked the lunar>stilt combo
And a perfectly good demo for the Endless Combo was thrown in there too!

Ace. Love the vibe here [user]Void[/user] and some really great tricks.

That Wingwalker to Bird thingy made me exclaim out loud - 'ouch!'.

Thanks chaps!

Actually, I was trying for it, but if you look closely, the Spike was just below the horizontal, so not a Stab.

That was a nice surprise; good to see you out and photosynthesising again!

I like it .. . 'cool' video

PikWik · 13 February, 2015, 20:41:45

i like how you almost worked in the EC 115. i think more videos like this would be a welcome treat too. these short edits leave me, the viewer, wanting to see More

kendamatty · 15 February, 2015, 12:35:20

Nice edit, with some really cool tricks. Especially liked the pinkie candle balance to ninja penguin stab exit!

Your form is always impeccable Void. Always clean and concise movements for every trick!

Thanks chaps, glad you enjoyed it.

Kind words, thanks.

But, in a way, I almost don't understand comments like these... Hear me out...

I've had comments like that several times, (always appreciate the compliment!) and my reaction is something along the lines of "But, that's how kendama's supposed to be done. The precision of movement is an integral part of kendama play."

I hope that doesn't sound arrogant. I am perhaps struggling to express my point. It's more... bemusement! Ah well, it takes all sorts to make a world, I guess, and it would be dull if everyone played kendama the same way. Click on, comrades! :-)

That's a very interesting point. Void goes more into the traditional school where a trick is done with precision, versus the other style of landing the hardest trick possible even if not perfect.

I personally prefer to watch a solid, smooth spacewalk than a dodgy lightning drop, so I'm with Void in this.

Leologic777 · 18 February, 2015, 14:07:05

I know this is kinda off topic but congrats shalafi for your 1000th post!

talincrow · 19 February, 2015, 02:43:18

I totally understand Void. I'm very active on IG and FKC (Facebook Kendama Community) where I see a ton of videos everyday of players in all difficulty levels posting their stuff. A majority of them are choppy & sloppy with their movements and trick landings. Granted a great number of these are beginners but there quite a few "advanced" players that lack good form. When I saw your edit/video the first thing I noticed is how every trick is intentional and executed with smooth precision. This was a pleasant break in the "usual" edit watching, seeing someone with great form and finesse.

Hopefully that makes sense! haha
