#28TricksLater

I’m still a green bean at 3 months in, but I’m right there with ya on backing out if need be. I started with a single jug not the most entraining but it’s a first for me‍♂️ Day 2 today!

 

Ive been using a Deal with it grayscale (all over print)

 

Let’s see who else is still in the challenge!
Day 11

 

I'm still in!

 

Here’s my day 16 trick with Down Bird Over the Valley

 

So clean! I wanna learn this one!

 

At first I said I wasn't going to participate, but here I am at Day 17!

 

The downbird is similar to the downspike, but you want to track the bevel with the rim of the big cup once you see it rotate upwards.

 

Anyone else here messing around with Original tricks? Here's a concept I thought of on my 20th day.

 

Congrats to all those who made it to the end of #28TricksLater! I enjoyed seeing all of everyone's tricks!

However, I'm concerned with how the challenge causes kendama burnout. A lot of players on instagram were more thankful that the challenge was over because they were sick and tired of filming rather than for the opportunity to level up or post more often on the platform. For those who felt burnt out by the challenge, take a break from kendama for now.

Don't push yourselves too hard; kendama is supposed to be a way to take the stress away, not to be an added stressor. Much love, everyone! Congrats to those who made it to the end of February!

 

Hell yeah.

 

Heck yes! Trying to do all Switch(left handed) tricks and see how that goes!!

 

Just out of curiosity.. does anyone know of any black female players in kendama? I’m legit wondering

 

Look for Kelsy Galva! She plays for New Laced kendama. Her insta is @kels_and_her_dama.

 

She’s not black. She even says on her page she’s Latina.

 

Oh, my mistake. I'll have to get back to you on that one. I know I saw a black female kendama player on my insta feed once, I just can't recall their IG handle.

@yerbandama on IG is also a female black kendama player.
