(//)Here are the prizes for the present KCC #19- Flips for Fun. I wasted no time in getting the ladders together and creating a video. The ladders and the actual competition will begin on 12-14-12.
Nice prize! But Jake you have to set precisely at what time the challenge will come too ;)
Haha Okay Im new to this! The challenge will start at 4:30 ET
4.30 pm ET, right, =16.30, and not 04.30? Just checking...
@Void, You are correct 4:30 ET
I am so sorry for the late release! I will be posting the trick ladder vid and trick list at 9 P.M ET
Im glad i stayed up til 4 am for this to come online...
Again I am very sorry! I have been busy and I left my laptop around and i have been trying my hardest to get it all together.
So without further ado. I present the Trick Video: BKA Consistency Challenge #19- Flips for Fun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0LjW3b3xHQ#ws)
and the Trick List and rules:
- Competition is open to all players, worldwide, as long as they are a member of this forum.
- Use a standard, competition-sized kendama, unless otherwise stated.
- Perform all tricks, in order, as specified, in a single run, with no misses, unless otherwise stated.
- Stay in shot the whole time.
- The kendama must be visible all the time.
- The first forum member to post a video of themselves completing the challenge in the relevant thread is the winner. (Pending approval by me).
- No sneakiness!
- The Winner wins glory and respect from the kendama community
TRICKS (tell me if some names are wrong):
#1 Bid Cup Kenflip to Reverse Kenflip
#2 Spacewalk to Handroll to Kenflip to Big Cup
#3 String Maneuver to Reverse Kenflip
#4 Around the Kenflip
#5 Little Cup String pull to Flip to Little Cup String Pull
#6 Airplane to 1.5 turn to Base Cup to Base Cup Kenflip
#7 Single Kenflip to Double Kenflip
#8 Side kenflip to Base Cup to Circuit to Big Cup (start with the spike in the tama)
#9 Double Reverse kenflip
#10 Kenflip to Spike
The video doesn't work in England haha... Nice one there, ACTA and/or SOPA -_-
I opened the video through the proxy gateway. I think that only totally insane people would be able to do all these tricks without missing.
don't work in hong kong too...
Doesnt work in America...
I am sorry. This just keeps getting worse for me. I will upload it again with no music so there is no chance for a blockage anywhere
BKA Consistency Challenge #19- Flips for Fun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0LjW3b3xHQ#ws) everyone try now...
After seeing that video, all we can say is... GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! You're gonna need it...
30 days to crack it, starting now....
Really? I thought it was fairly easy... I got the trick ladder and video together the same day I beat David's
i was waiting on ladder, but now i know what the tricks are :o :o :o
, i think i skipp this one for sure and practice my consistency of the 4Th and the 5Th DAN ladder again.
Good luck every one.
PS. i still need to stess out from the DK Pro ladder as well ;)
As if it was so universally blocked around the globe haha. Can view it now, hefty ladder, probably do-able after a little practise of one or two of the tricks. Might give it a go in a couple of days if the contest is still open
OK I think I translated it into BKA terms, Let me know if I got anything wrong. You didn't really specify many cup catches or names so I'm guessing big cups and small cups and the BKA term is "whirlwind" not kenflip[nb]As far as I know it is translated from the JKA term and is needed to differentiate between whirlwinds (ken flip with the hand), jumping sticks (ken flip with the spike in the tama hole), lighthouse somersaults (ken flip from the lighthouse) etc. that could all be described as a ken flip[/nb]:
#1 Big cup -> Whirlwind (WW) -> Big cup -> Reverse WW -> Big cup
#2 Spacewalk -> Handroll to ken grip -> WW -> swing to Big cup
#3 Pinwheel[nb]I don't see that one very often but I think thats what it's called (after the yoyo trick?)[/nb] -> WW -> Big cup
#4 Big cup -> WW -> Big cup-> Base cup -> WW -> Base cup -> Small cup -> WW -> Small cup [nb]I'd go with "whirlwind the cups". "Whirlwid the world" Sounds like a good trick though that could be: Big -> WW -> Big -> small -> WW -> small -> base -> WW ->base -> spike -> WW -> spike"[/nb]
#5 Small cup string pull[nb]Small cup stopover? Hanging triangle small cup? Tension small cup? Not sure about this one.[/nb] -> Whirlwind -> Small cup string pull
#6 Aeroplane -> Jumping stick (fast throw) base cup -> WW -> Base cup
#7 Base cup -> WW -> Base cup -> Double WW -> Base cup
#8 Horizontal, loaded ken, ken grip start -> horizontal WW -> Base cup -> Centrifuge -> small cup
#9 Big cup -> Double reverse WW -> Big cup
#10 Pull up WW spike
5, 8 and 9 may take some figuring out but it seems doable. If they were all to spike then it would be really very difficult.

If you look carefully, there's a Pinwheel [or is it a Loop?] between the Spacewalk and the Handroll

We've seen the term "String Pull" used quite a few times before, so we'd go with that, since it's a slightly different trick to the alternatives you mention. Perhaps "String Pull Small Cup" reads better than the other way around though?

Other than those minor points, Sam speaks BKA sooth! Thanks Sam.

I think it's rather than go straight for the handroll from the spacewalk, it's like catch the ball, swing ken from 4 o'clock to 12 o'clock then handroll i.e. the slightly easier handroll start. I could be wrong though.

Yes! +1 Pedantry!
I am extremely sorry for the confusion everybody. I thought I had the correct trick names saved as a Word Doc. But I was wrong and since I caused everyone so much sleep and time I just typed them up real quick. You go straight to the handroll from the spacewalk but The new video should work. If you all could just do the tricks the same in the video that would be great! Copy of BKA Consistency Challenge #19- Flips for Fun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyKqpg_5uJ4#ws)
Under 2 weeks to go. Anyone got close yet?
I have heard from many people it is the Little Cup string pull flip that messes them up haha
Our fears proved correct, and after 30 days KCC19 has proven too hard for anyone to crack, and is now officially closed. Of course it remains open merely for a personal challenge and bragging rights, but the prize is no longer on offer.
Thanks Jake for setting it, but it seems it was just a whirlwind too far!
BKA will return after a short break with KCC20.
Sorry guys.... Was really trying to get rid of this shirt...
I did give this a go. and got quite good at most but 8 and 9 were just impossible to get consistent, I think I landed them once. It was a fun ladder just a little bit too hard!
Whens the next one?
Soon.
