Today I got a late turnover ken  to dama almost consistent. Thanks to @Thevoid for filming a tutorial

... started to practice for the Spikedama GlokenCup Trick List. I don't know whether I can go at all, but it's a nice motivation - and who knows ...
So far I can surely get 10 points (out of 35) - which possibly is enough for the last or second to last place.

But I'm having fun

Well done Lars, always rewarding to work your way through a trick list, keep pushing!

Today I have been playing around with Aero> Insta Reverse JS > Reverse JS > Insta JS. So much fun, looks completely weird. Got five minutes? Give it a go!

Reverse infinity slinger to reverse swing in (tried it for a laugh and it's actually quite doable!) And dead body rotor blade to dead body. I've obviously got too much time in my hotel room

Does that mean the ken spins one turn off the ball and is caught? Or do you go from dead body<in<rotor blade to dead body? In any ways, I'm gonna try it later

[donald grant]

Should both work, what I hit was the body - flat 360 off the tama - to body again. In fact, thinking about it, if I can get a 450 spin off the body, I could go to spike.... Something for me to try tonight...

[The Void]

Nice, Donald. So, like this...

...? But did you tap to start the spin, like me, or use a wrist-twist?
I found his trick much more awkward to get than I thought it was going to be when I imagined it!

Milky - I like the sound of that one, although I'm rubbish at Instas....
Go Lars! Go mabulrub!

[donald grant]

Like that, void, but no tap or finger, just one handed with a lot of twist and float! And tonight I got the 450 one to spike

[The Void]

Cool. I tried it like that, but got nowhere, so had to tap. Well done!

Gave it 5 minutes. Missed the last move 3 times, but it was better than I thought I'd do whilst the microwave was whirling. Cheers, @the milky oolong !

[The Void]

Oops, no, I read it wrong, and I was actually trying
Aero> Insta Reverse JS > JS > Rev JS
D'oh!

[the milky oolong]

No problem, Void, I think the terminology is a bit difficult as the tricks are happening in the split second of a '>' as opposed to after it, really. Nice one for trying it, though! Today I woke up in Berlin and am hungry for some kendama action, maybe Kendama Europe is coming to town this weekend too! Woop!

Here's this for you all to try today.

Today I got the proper version whilst the kettle was boiling. Cheers, @the milky oolong !

[donald grant]

Nicely done, void. And that video line was great, really tight.
Meanwhile, in my rainy hotel room I got reverse one turn body - 360 rover - in.

Starting to get to grips with lightening drops. Still not spiked the aeroplane catch but got one to lighthouse Seeing Yamahi924s effort I see I have a ways to go before I make them look that effortless!
