I landed my first lunar and big cup stilts.  HUGE props to the people that can flip them 190909191991 times and can catch em clean.  It literally seems like it is impossible...

Well done! That's a big achievement, that goes for both of you!
Tama tricks seem so out of reach when you begin learning them, but they eventually come round!

Congrats to Steffi & Filthy! Nicely done.
Keep setting your own personal goals, folks. Have fun challenging yourself!

After a brief chill-out following the NRC, I managed to get a little clicking done myself. I managed Banking to Wingwalker, which I've only hit once before.
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!

Today I locked myself out of the flat with no kendamas (or bikes)! :'( :'( :'(
Forgot how quickly I get bored (and how much buses suck)....

I saw it! Not the most visually impressive trick but still awesome! I'm working on it (when I can get back in).

Today I did Around the World for the first time, only had a kendama for half a week, I could have cried.
Aha, I'm such a noob...

Excellent! You're well on your way. So, what's your kettle trick?

Swing to lighthouse! Got it three times total and once to falling!
EDIT: And now I just got sara grip around the USA! Oh happy day!

Nice one Adam, sweet stuff!

Yesterday I managed to feel like I was finally getting to grips with Swirls. I got several Swirl Aeroplanes, and a couple of (non-cack-handed) Swirl Swing Ins.

I've honestly never done many slip stalls... I mostly just go for the grip stalls instead. Always felt more comfy with them.
