Good aulde Joensuu, where I got my first kendama

Wow, it's just four hours by train from me. But unfortunately I have only two free days: 8 and 9 of July. Waiting for further information.

Here's last year's info. Likely to be the same format this year. Don't know yet which days are kendama days.

Just find this link in Facebook: http://m2.facebook.com/events/1382248685395115?aref=22  It looks like that kendama-day is 9 of July.
So I can take apart in this event!

Great!

If we have time, maybe we can also run the Speed Trick Challenge which is the first 10 tricks on the list, but head-to-head, against the clock. Example:
Matt Pang Speed Trick Challenge - juggling videos hosted @ Juggling.tv

I'll also try to find time to do gradings for anyone who wants one.

Possibility of live streaming for this. Eyes peeled for a link, either here or on the FB event page.

All packed for the long trek Northward! Here's to a good nights sleep, hopefully....

Recordings from today are up. Tomorrow it's yo-yo and kendama. And Marko being a latecomer.

Congrats to [user]Marko[/user] who regained his Finnish Champion status, and to [user]Salvator-vals[/user], who won both the Speed Trick and the overall FKO title.
Still a reasonably small turnout, but the standard has definitely increased since last year.

Aaro quietly slid sideways out of frame. Co-judge Jani took the pic.
