Kendama Open by Matt Hall |
|
Held at the IJA juggling festival in Winston-Salem, NC, USA. July 14th, 2009, 11am. Come one come all to the First Annual North American Kendama Open. Following on the heels of the British Kendama Open and the European Kendama Open (held at the last BJC and EJC respectively) this fun little match comes in two flavors: Speed Trick and Best Trick. The Speed Trick section pits two players against each other in head-to-head competition to finish a pre-determined and previously published list of 10 tricks in the fastest time. For reference, check out: this video (The first 10 tricks demonstrated by TeamKD) & this video (The speed tricks demonstrated by BKO champion Mark) The Best Trick section is just a five minute jam where each player tries to pull the best trick he or she can pull off. If you miss, just go back to the end of the line and try again when your turn comes up. Audience applause determines the winner. Prizes include a selection of Japanese kendama goodies directly from Japan. Come by and join in/watch the fun! |
