It's all too easy to just let that camcorder run all day, then make an edit out of the half dozen tough tricks that you landed. Getting that triple lighthouse flip is really cool, but it ain't going to help in in a jam/ competition setting if you can only get it one in a hundred. Consistency is a major part of kendama, so I hereby announce .......
The CONSISTENCY Video competition!
On Friday, I'm going to post up a ladder of ten tricks (this should give everyone a fair chance to get access to a camcorder). The first person to post a perfect run of the ladder in this thread wins. It's that simple. So no editing, no cuts, no sneakiness, just a clean run of the ten tricks in order wins!
The winner gets......
1) A signed original piece of artwork from the masterpiece book "Knees! Further Adventures in Kendama"
2) A LIFETIME supply of kendama beads (yes, a whole tub).
and most importantly...
3) The honour and right to create a new ladder of ten tricks for the next round
Competition is open to anyone, internationally, (yes, I'll pay the postage to get your prize to you
I thank you for your attention, cameras at the ready, watch this space .....
