Yep, liked those, milky o, they make for a  very stylish variation. And yes, had to watch the video twice, just to make sure
The last day or two I've finally cracked the timing for infinity slinger suicide to infinity slinger. The single finger throw and catch looks sweet, and I managed three in a row to swing in last night

Last night I had another run through of the IKO list. Better.

Nice! Looking forward to get your feedback on the selection. Also, feel free to feed any of those into the BKO

Started re-practicing the Dan tricks. This year I should finally get the 2nd Dan.

Donald, sounds like you're killing it, sir! Fair play!

Today it took me as long to get 1 of the IKO tricks as the other 11 combined. I'm not saying which one. Feedback on the list, shalafi? I think it's fine for your competition.

If you're doing what I think you're describing there.... that's nuts. It's probably nuts anyway!

Today I decided the list for the Advanced division for BKO. (Not announced yet.)

Today I took a good look at @Mirek 's website, even read a few articles by Mr Jumpshoe et al, fantastic site with great photos, videos, and written stuff on all things kendama! For those of you who have also been living on the moon since 2009, here's the link: http://kendama.cz/

got a nice letter with new certificates, stickers and ... a paper kendama. Thank you so much BKA!
I don't know whether it goes the same way my "Cut out Unseen University" goes - Too beautiful to be cut and used. You should always have two of them

Cheers, guys. Hong Kong is lovely, but it's the worst winter in sixty years, so on the days with only one evening show, we seem to be spending a lot of dead time in the hotel. If it carries on like this, I'll be full on ready for the bko
Today's sneaky little one: triple swirl to one turn aero to floater typhoon...

Was having a bash at the BKO tricklist,  especially the more unusual ones. Somehow I managed to get penguin slip on stick, penguin earth turn, penguin earth turn to spike.
Also backstage yesterday I got a few double swirl to fast throw spikes while waiting for the finale

Is that one combo, or three? Nice.

[donald grant]

All in one combo; didn't quite believe it myself!

Chapeau!
