    Kendama is a tight knit community, so many of us know each other outside of the interwebs.
    But have you met anybody through downspike?

    Shout out to @7Cabbages for always having the wittiest chatter. One of these times when I roll through mojave to mammoth we'll have to jam.

    And speaking of mammoth shout out to @Guy LaBorde for buying my ozora tama.


    Which DS user would you like to meet?

    Also, I'm not sure if you remember this, but about two years ago (right after I started playing) I met you in Vons, and you were like "Whoa, a kendama! you know my brother Colin Sander?(@Grandpa Sandz)" And I was super amazed because I had no idea that skiing and kendama were even connected. Also, it was just something that really helped me stick with kendama since the beginning, So thanks man!

    I'm from a smaller community in upper Michigan where finding anyone who plays kendama is rare. Honestly just meeting other people who play kendama would be awesome! But if I had to pick people from DS, I'd really like to meet Alex Smith.

    I'm also in a town with no kendama players besides myself. I'd be glad to meet any DS users/kendama players.
    I will be at the next event to take place in Tennessee, hopefully that happens soon.

    Yeah definitely bro. Surprisingly I've never been to Mammoth, but I've been wanting to go to the snow for a while. Let me know when and we'll make some solid plans.

    I'd love to visit @azleonhart. I almost moved to to Kuala Lumpur about 6 years ago. I would love to hang out and see what the town could have been for me and jam around all the beautiful places there.

    I afriend of mine has an extra house out there. He wanted me to help him start an English language learning center. He was the investor I was the workhorse.

    I found a job locally, met my future wife, and now I'm sitting pretty with my 354 day old daughter.

    Basically I paddled that wave to the lip, missed the drop in, and caught the next one in the set.

    Surfs up and dama on!
