Sketchy indoor lighting, but visible, I think.

Howzat, Jordan?

[emagdnim]

Looks fine, you beat me in Void.
I was uploading, maybe better luck next time.

[The Void]

Aw, sorry mate. Well, in such cases, you should upload anyway - you never know, Jordan might reject my entry!

[shalafi]

I almost looks like contact a Nodding on from the penguin catch.

[jordanfung]

Looks legit to me Void

[The Void]

Cool, thanks Jaordan.
Right then, next up is...

60. Bird > Banking. Hold still for 3 seconds.
Edited to add: Please film so that I can see the ball's not touching your thumb

[Sonicpearse]

Blimey! Never ever even done banking before, let alone from bird - like it! I'm on it... (May not be first to do it though)

[The Void]

I got this tonight. Very tricky, but it's possible. Stick at it, guys!

[shalafi]

How is banking different from windwalker? Or did we just changed the name and I didn't noticed?

[Kev]

My understanding is that Banking and Wingwalker are very similar.

I believe that Wingwalker is like a Bird with the ken in a vertical(-ish) position while the tama only rests on the cup and doesn't touch the spike.

In Banking I think the Ken is held more flat / horizontally with around a 45 degree twist of the cups to the floor. You catch on the lower cup edge, which is the cup nearest you.

I hope this is right and helps you [user]Shalafi[/user]?

*As a point of note, this leads me to thinking - as Wingwalker can become Wingrunner, does Banking become Bankrunner or is there another term for hopping from bank to bank?*

[shalafi]

From the pics, I'd say that the banking has the tama touching the sarado, while the wingwalker does not... but I may be wrong in the appreciation.

[Kev]

Yes that's exactly right as far as I understand, hence the need for the 45 degree tilt.
