British Kendama Open 2015: 2/3rd May, West London

I love the bizarreness of the trick selection. Void never ceases to amuse me with exotic tricks.

That said, I'm surprised I am fairly consistent on one of the final tricks, and terrible on a lot of earlier / easier tricks.

A quick question on the moshikame > spike trick, can we stab or does it have to be below the horizontal?

Thanks

Stab or Spike. Either is okay.

Nice selection of different tricks here, liking it

Quick question though, with Airplane>Breakaway Trapeze is the trapeze cup specific? During practice I tend to land on the small cup more often than not.

Either side of the cross-piece is fine.

Bought my train tickets! I will be there!

Are there people lodging nearby and have any tips on where to stay? It could be interesting to have dama-players in the same hotel/hostel.

Now to practice!

Yay Hans!
Actually, I must sort out my own accommodation plans too....

Ooh. I didn't think the BKO was going to be possible for me but it seems the planets are aligning a little better at least. Still not a certainty - but certainly more likely! I hope I can make it, was sooo much fun last year!

BKA · 10 March, 2015, 10:34:55

Fingers crossed for you, Kev!

Less than 2 months away now, folks! Get your click on!

The Void · 11 March, 2015, 14:02:57

Hans and I are staying in a B&B in Sunbury, around 3 miles west. (It's fully booked now.)

Anyone booked themselves in anywhere yet? Shout out, so people can bunch together if possible.

Dimensions · 29 March, 2015, 13:56:57

I'm booked in here:

It's very close to the park and about an hours walk to the hall on day 2, but not too bad if you have wheels

KenDogma · 30 March, 2015, 22:13:31

Flights booked!

BKO nicely coincides with a couple of London reunions.

It's likely that I'll only be around for the Sunday. This time I'll be stepping up to the intermediate category.

Looking forward to meeting new faces
