Tricks you associate with certain players

Gotta start somewhere.

 

DS edition-
@Emil Apostol - string flow
@Jacob Watts - juggles
@Nick Lectura - slingers, swap downspikes

if I think of more, I will add them.

 

@Carlos Habbenero - The 1-2-3 jumping stick you did on DSCE 3!

 

Some I don't think have been mentioned yet:

Ben Herald: those full body 360s he does during a stall/balance trick
Wyatt Bray: UFO swaps
Joris Shweppe: fasthand to lighthouse
Nick Gallagher: stilt backflips
Cooper Eddy: forward slingers
Alex Smith: basecup hanging swinger lighthouse
Bonz Atron: spinning the KROM wheel of fortune to make Slaydawgs 50% off

 

dwesty- juggle to bird
Benjamin mastek- making everything look insanely flowy no matter what.

 

Lyndon Whalen - His "forward tap" trick that he does while juggling. I've never seen anyone else do it!

 

Cooper Eddy-Leanhoise & Tightrope
Adrian Esteban-string tension flow and weedwhackers
Alex Mitchel- Boarders balance & solar flare
Liam Rauter- Slingers
Romanian Kids - infinite taps lol

*edit* oh yea Matty fromSulabs- turntables and clutch(he just did one after spinning tama on a drill first and then did a clutch that lasted forever. Plus his Turntable count is at like 50!?)

 

Too true HAHAHA.

Speaking of Taps, Tiblex holds the record now at 14, no?

 

Look up @aventiss on instagram. His string steeze is unique in that he utilizes the bead/bearing.

 

That RatTrap he just came up with was sick..

 

Also check out Shonuff Chris on IG and YT. He is a master of the Pill and I associate Paw/arm balance tricks with him. Or really any Kendama trick where thinking out of the box is a necessity. He’s come up with new ways to play with this toy for sure

 

Dude Chris's tricks are super creative! I love his posts!!!

 

He also laces quint lighthouse flips like it's nothing.

 

luke ford is the best at stilts no question.

 

Reviving this thread because of all the new trick innovation.

Ben Herald - Late Gooncircle
Carter Justice - Cloud Bounce
Joshua Grove - Snakebite, and Infinite Swirl

 

I think I read somewhere that his philosophy isn't necessarily to be the most technically proficient kendama player, but to be on the cutting edge of kendama innovation. He's definitely made his mark on the game.
