The ever popular "Today I..." thread

11 Earth Turns in a row.
Did 4th Dan again today. Got to the 1000 moshis, and decided to carry on and see how far I could get. Who wants to guess at my new record?

[LarsVegas]

2500?

[BatDancer]

1001?

[LarsVegas]

did a qualifying run of the Czech Kendama Open ladder up to Lighthouse.

@BatDancer: I thought about writing 1001 but that seemed to be obvious

[The Void]

1001?

Not quite.... 1028.  But thanks for your faith in me, Lars!

I managed my first "fast throw lighthouse" yesterday, but a "pull-up" version, not a suicide.
Small triumphs.... 

[John]

What's a fast throw lighthouse, Void?

I got lots of new stuff yesterday after being inspired by kendama players at philly fest.
I've even got to the point where my knees get sore after a day of kendama practice!

• Gunslinger pull to spike 4 times, two of them in a row
• Inward airplane a bunch of time, two times in a row a couple of times
• Scoop spike first try ever, and 3 times after that
• Big cup - bird - over valley - spike - earth

Bird fly over the valley - I've done it! I've flipping well done it - I'm so happy! It's taken a couple of years practice but worth it! Now I need to do a moon landing! 

[BatDancer]

Excellent! Congratulations!

I need to do a lot more practice before I can land Bird, let alone 'over the valley'.

Well done!

[Mark]

And i witnessed it! Good job Rich! :-)

[The Void]

I saw it too, and that's twice in a few days now, so well done Rich! Keep up that form for the SRC!

That trick is great, I am still struggling with the bird in small cup.

Today I am very chuffed and got simultaneous left and right hand pull up spike > earth turn! I struggle with writing my name with me left hand, so all in all muchos happy! the new edit is under way, deadline December time, no student free time anymore so have to pace myself more...
