The rules for this one are slightly different, so read carefully....

Rules
- Competition is open to all players, worldwide, as long as they are a member of this forum. (All lurkers/non-members are welcome to join, of course!)
- 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.
- Upload a video of yourself completing the challenge as a hidden/private video or link. Send a private message to BKA on this forum with a link to the video. Do not post or discuss your video elsewhere on the net. (Well, "I entered" is okay, but nothing about how you did.)
- No sneakiness!
- We will announce every time we receive an entry (but not who from, or how successful it is).
- After 30 days, all entries will be revealed, and the winners announced.
- 1st place: JKA/Kendaman t-shirt (XL)
- 2nd place: Sticker pack
- 3rd place: Cup and ball

(Cover your eyes with your free hand. You may look to reset between tricks. Perform this trick standing facing the camera.)
6. Slip on Stick 6 in a row
(Perform with the Small cup facing the camera. We want to see clean, hole-flat-on-side-of-spike catches.)
7. Swing In 7 in a row
(Start with ball held)
8. Aeroplane 8 in a row
(Start with ken held)
9. Spike 9 in a row
(No spin)
10. 100 Moshi Kame at a minimum of 135 bpm.
(Start with ball hanging. Time starts at first cup catch. All catches should be full-contact. 1 'rimshot' cup catch will be allowed as long as the following catch is clean. 2 rimshots in a row is not acceptable.)
11. Tie breaker: Immediately do another moshi kame run. Most catches in 60 seconds.
(If you drop, you may not restart.)

The "in a row" tricks do NOT have to be connected. (i.e. You should reset between each attempt.)

Use the same kendama for all tricks.

Interesting, except for 2 and 3 I think I can handle the rest, time to practice UFOs and Spacewalk, I guess.

I was excited about this until the 5 gunslingers with eyes closed.  :-[ Thats the deal breaker for me. To hard to even try. I love gunslingers a lot but 5 is a few too many I think. Good luck on this one.

bonzatron

i hear that five might be okay on its own but eyes closed... yikes

Really? Hmm. Gunslinger is a funny trick: some people get it super-quick and find it very easy, others struggle endlessly with it and just can't get there.
(Oh, and just in case you're thinking it's a harder version...

If you don't want to BUY MY BOOKS 😉, then why not ask your local library to order them in, and read them for free? That would help too. Cheers!

Thanks Void. I thought it was much harder. I was trying to do this with my hand over my eyes.     ;D
