The ever popular "Today I..." thread

Oh, maybe something like "no more than 1 miss on any particualr trick, and less than 5 on the whole list", give or take.

Yesterday's run was reasonable until the end.

Finally made it down to the kendama meet here in Hong Kong. The Friday night timing ain't ideal as I have three shows on Friday (and four on Saturday, eep) but I forced myself off the show coach straight into a taxi, and had a fun hour and a half with about a dozen folks to play and share tricks with. Nothing much new trick-wise, as I have been mucking about with a 5 hole pill, but backstage today I hit string pull - pinwheel to small bird - in. All the more surprising as I was using my Toys r us rip-off tribute which I bought for "over concrete" sessioning

Today's IKO run was not so reasonable. I blame the cold fingers. Meanwhile, back indoors, and inspired by Rob, I tried a Candle Whirlwind as the kettle boiled. I nearly got one. I mean, Secret grip is neeearly Candle grip, right? :-)

That sounds a nice move, Donald, I shall have to try it...

I had a go at this tonight, and got as far as the Bird a couple of times, but foolishly tried to re-pinwheel it in, and that wasn't happening.

Was worth a go, Void!

Today I messed around with some weird string whip around the cups variations, found out there are literally tons of avenues to explore with all that. Just got to get them looking flowy, and Till and I will do a mini-edit on them

Yay, it's sunny! But it's cold and breezy too. :| Poor practice.

Inspired by @nemo , I had a play with that grip switch and came up with this:

Had a nice session in the park the other day. The guys even let me choose the latest tricks for the damaHK challenge. There's a sweet little video up on the Facebook page.https://www.facebook.com/groups/damahk/?fref=ts

Nice one Donald.

Cold IKO practice in the garden today, and a bad 6th Dan practice at juggling club. Then @Rich turned up and we played some games of KEN and ComBones.

...am really bloody happy I landed this trick (might need to switch to 0.5 speed viewing mode):

[...] we played some games of KEN and ComBones.

What is ComBones? Didn't find a proper definition in the forum?

A game Donald invented. As far as I know, I have the only copy. Did you watch the video at http://kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2598.0.html , because, without a lot of typing, that probably explains it best.

Thanks, that entry did not show up in the forum search ... looks funny, somehow related to "endless combos", just that it's not endless
