hey @the milky oolong I like the second trick quite a lot, but it feels like it would fit better with some earth turns to mirror the J-Sticks. What do you think?

Hey, @shalafi, sounds great, you up for getting it down on camera nice and flowy?

I have more faith in you than I have in me :-)

Well, though I am sure you could have done it, I appreciate the challenge. Had to sweat a bit under my cappie for this one. Now double-strength and ready for the cask:

Nicely done, TMO, nicely done.

[shalafi]

Yep, nicely done. I might try it soon, lacking spare time for a while.

Today I freed this @donald grant collab-escaped clip.

Thanks for the share, Void!

And nice fast flow on those combos, milky, must be all that fresh Scottish air !

Had a couple of hours down at the beach today, working out some new dumb tricks for the my next edit with Pete (soon, hopefully!)

Apart from those, I somehow landed a weird pinwheel fast throw one turn to trapeze, one turn to stilts.  Was so surprised, I confess, I took an extra second or two before managing to put it in

Also, sitting on a bench waiting for the bus home, I hit two reverse swing to clifftops in a row. Then missed about three or four dozen more tries.  Then the bus arrived.  Fine day!

Hey Donald, sorry for not commenting before, but those all sounded killer moves. Nice.

Saw this today from @Dimensions :

The whole thing is smooth and ridiculously tough, but it's the sharp swish out from the Stab into the front-on Spacewalk that I really liked.

Fantastic skill from Rob and all with a regular no gimmick Royal kendama. Kudos.

Today I actually got 100 around U.S.A., switching to a new kendama every 25! Man, it was hard as heck, but I did it and I'm so happy

In a row? That's hardcore consistency!

In a row? That's hardcore consistency!

Nah, not in a row. I'm not that good yet I should have said it wasn't in a row.

[The Void]

Still good persistence. Well done!

Today, I learned a couple of things...

i)  filming an edit on a blustery, windy day is a nightmare...

ii)  I'm too dumb/ pigheaded to give up, so it took an extra half hour of flailing and grinding (and an extra half packet of biscuits for Pete) to finally nail the last few tricks.

Genuinely knackered, but at least it's "in the can",
