    C'mon, you've read the title. Let's get it out of the way. We've all broken at least one thing while doing a spacewalk or when we were just too into it, but what specifically have you broken through playing kendama?

    For me, personally, I accidentally broke off a corner of a sheet of glass that sits over one of my tables, and now I'm stuck looking at something that can't be replaced. I was doing a spacewalk, and because I usually sesh near that table(because that's where my work area is), my dama went flying towards it at high speed when I lost control of it. Before I could say,"Oh sh-", BAM! A pretty big piece of glass was now sitting on the carpet under the table corner, and I just stood there with my hands over my mouth. Right now, it's sorta hot glued back, but it's hidden under some of my books that I use for school. I guess this is why you listen to Keith in KUSA's spacewalk tutorial video...

    Oh wait, I'm now inspecting the damage, and there's a REALLY long crack that stretches almost all the way from one side to the other! Fortunately, there aren't any other signs of it extending any further, but hopefully it doesn't cost too much to get it replaced.

    Maybe I've been lucky (or not), the only things I've messed up related to kendama have been body parts. :eek: Playing a billet aluminum or Kenzilla can take their toll too.

    Haven't broken anything WITH a dama, but my tripod tipped over about 2 minutes after I laced a couple days ago and it busted my phone. Didn't even have a chance to get the footage!

    Now I use lots of counterweights and don't set the tripod at it's highest point. Lesson learned.

    Hey, you're lucky it was just a piece and didn't spiderweb across the whole sheet. Sounds like you got out of that one easy!

    You ever try to do a UFO and you get it in but the tama and whole thing flies out of your hand? Happened to me when I was trying to lace my first ever dub UFO years and years ago. Flew right out of my hand and destroyed a 42" Sony Bravia lol. Sorry mom.

    I dropped a bamboo tribute on a new iPad once, cracking the screen and actually somehow breaking the touch sensor.

    How though? Were you doing a spacewalk or did you accidentally drop it while doing a trick?

    I think I was doing whirlwinds and I missed the kenflip? I can't really remember but I'm pretty sure it was whirlwinds.
