Kendama Consistency Challenge 17:#birdsfordays

[SweetsKendamas]

Sorry it has taken me this long to start the next challenge. I have been busy with kendama related things I assure you

You may have noticed that I created a hashtag for this consistency challenge. I don't think enough people utilize this forum so I am going to try and change that. Here is what I want to try. Everyone who films for this challenge should take a picture or write a post while you are out and use the hastag #birdsfordays to tag your pic or post. This may give away the nature of the challenge but its all good. In the post you should also include the website www.kendama.co.uk and tell people to join the Forum and compete!

I will post a photo of the Limited Run Sweets Kendama Prize tomorrow!

Contest will start at 11:59AM CST on October 31st, 2012 HALLOWEEN!

I wanted to make one really hard. I think this will do.

I think it sure will! That's a very tough challenge, but a very nice looking prize for whoever nails it.

Yes, bonzatron. To quote from the rules from KCC#1 by Donald:

Remember the rules: all tricks, in order, no cuts or sneaky edits.  First to post a video of it in this thread wins [the prize], the glory and the right to create and name the next consistency challenge.

This is a tough one. That bird -> double turn -> bird alone is way harder than I thought it would be!

[jafish41]

Looking forward to it.

[KendAlex]

i did all tricks with practice,
first 3 combo's getting well.
everytime i get busted on Bird Ball Flip Bird -> To Spike and the Bird Double Ball Flip Bird -> To Spike.
i hope i have some more time, first i need a beer to relax.
try again with more pauze between the combo's
for all the competitors, good luck
this is a tough one

[jafish41]

Oh Alex is doing it... Why try.. :0

[KendAlex]

haha, don't worry,
i don't have much time left to try this, untill saterday or sunday,
i was close 3 times in the 1,5 hour i tried this ladder
i think other players will get this soon as well

[JeffD]

Can we use any dama we'd like for this?

[KendAlex]

the past contest only  a JKA and EKA kendama like SunRise, Play kendama, ozora, TK16, shin fuji, Mugen, Sakura kendamas were alowed
i don't know if Matt Sweets have won his last round with a sweets kendama,

but i think British kendama have to tell you this,

for me it does not matter, it is all about technic. but i did not make the rules for this one
i love to do birds with a Shin Fuji rokurosen red stripes

[SweetsKendamas]

All of the above mentioned kendamas are allowed. Including Sweets. As long as that is fine with The Void. Just make sure it is formal size. No jumbos or minis.

[JeffD]

Lol so just to be clear before I start trying to film we can use anything as long as it's competition sized?

[The Void]

Yeah sure.

Actually, those are our "live" competition rules, but after having gone back to check, it's never been mentioned in the KCCs, apart from #10, where "competition size" was stated.

So, standard/competition size, any brand.
