Insane man! Highlights for me mainly the penguin lighthouse fast grip change thing, and also the dub stilt line in there was dope, will you be posting on 'downspike' ?

I loved this edit! One thing that's particularly impressive is that you didn't use slaydawgs or primes - for most of the edit you used a Royal! I'm going to work on not just relying on the silk paint of my KenUSA tribute and try to do tricks on a BKA approved kendama.  ;D

I'll admit the Lunar Penguin tap was on Ewan's SDawg, hehe

Yep, this.

Totally great job, Rob. Loved it.
I'd list some of my favourite tricks, but.... all of them. If I had to name my favourite part, it might be this...

Ah, by you. (http://kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1600.msg13221.html#msg13221) Of course. I remember the reaction, just not which trick it was for. :)

That was toooo good @Dimensions ! Best edit I've seen in a while that's for sure!

Great edit, lots of amazing tricks -and locations- in there.

Hard to get a favorite one, but the nod-off and on the world was really impressive, specially the clifftop-base cup part.

Worth a few replays.

Great edit! Nice mixture of creativity and tech tricks! :)

That was amazing Rob. I agree with Shalafi, that nod-off combo was the highlight for me, great technique. And the ridiculously long combo in the first trick was marvellous. Saved it!

This is insanely good Rob, so many great moments, I really liked the candle, gunslinger spike trick, looks really cool

Wow Rob, just amazing! Just how clean everything was and so fresh! That hand boarder's balance trick was wonderful!

And getting back into diabolo? Or never stopped?

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!

@HansNickmans
I'd like to say I never stopped, but I'd be lying if I did - recently it's been whenever I pick them up I'd play for a short bit then go back to dama. My 2D probably hasn't improved in 2 years, but I'm picking up some new 1D stuff which is fun!

Great edit: lots of long hard lines and some cheeky variations too.  Well worth a couple of viewings to catch it all.
(And yes, you should certainly try to get to FDC one of these days, it's a hoot!)

Awesome job Rob, there was some nuts stuff in those few minutes. Great 1-2-3 finisher too!
