    Hey Downspike!

    My name is Denton; but most people online know me as MonkayGlands. I live in Alberta, Canada and have been playing kendama for just over a year now.

    I stream video games and kendama woodburns on twitch.tv/monkayglands.
    I love doing kendama related art and I have a ton of projects planned in the near future.

    Thank you; I actually started wood burning a few months after starting kendama. I'm excited to progress with it just like dama.

    Hi everyone! My name is Goon Lam, You can call me Ares. I just started kendama for about 3-4 months ago and I just recently joined this Downspike "community" :) I am from Malaysia and it's abit harder to get kendamas here, but that's not stoping me from jamming with this wooden traditional toy!! I hope that one day I will be as good as the pros out there :)

    If u want u can follow my insta @Chia_g_lamb

    Good Luck to everyone in their kendama journey!!

    Hey! My name is Nolan and I'm from Michigan! I started playing kendama about 3 years ago, but didn't really get into it until a couple months ago! I am currently trying different brands to find one I like best. I really like kendama cause if let's me scores my self. I can put things together and do of my own way!

    No worries at all. You might poke your head in over here to see the Trophies you'll be receiving as you post your way out of n00b-ness. It shouldn't take you too long, lots of interesting things going on around here.

    Hay there!

    Just found out about the page and the app!

    My name is Michael, i'm from Austria (Central Europe) and 23 yea's old.
    Started playing like 2 months ago after i saw a video from norx.

    was searching for a new "hobbie" or just something that makes me go out and enjoy things more in life because
    my fulltime job is really draining! and wow! i was surprised how much fun this little wooden thing is!
    Helps me to relax, keeps my mental health up, gets my head of work and just have fun outside in nature.

    there's no real community around this area where i live but we'll see. at least got another person hooked already haha.

    will document my journey on IG as good as possible : gostraightforward_

    Cheers!

    Those fresh kendamas look awesome!! Love the look of the zebrano natty. @Aura Kendama was active here earlier this year. Glad to see they are still supporting the Europe scene.
