Winter approaches. Time to test your knuckles in the cold. This got me thinking. Weather can suck when all you wanna do is jam. Windy day knockin your ken around, rain threatening your grains, heat turning you into a puddle of sweat, and snow chilling you to the bone and making your precious fingers vulnerable to a missed spike.
A DRY WINTER. Out here in Las Vegas that shit sucks all the moisture out of your natty tama and it hurts like hell when you knick your hand on a trick.
To me the worst is cold and windy. Nothing pisses me off more then cold and windy. Dry heat it my shit though. Sunny and hot are ideal. I get 0% snow here in Southern California so I don't worry about that but I bet it would piss me off. Rain is a chill weather condition granted that you're inside, best weather for working on flow and cupping, it's a chill atmosphere.
I live in Scotland and definitely would say the Wind is the worst, but if you add that and rain together it just makes it completely unplayable!
I can play in rain, snow, humidity, heat, but I really don't like playing in the wind. Dry cold is more challenging, but once the wind is blowing hard I have a hard time playing for extended periods of time.
i gotta say that the worst is sunlight. i usually play in high wind because i love it. It is amazing when your playing kendama and you can just hear the wind blowing everywhere.
Each has disadvantages. Cold freezes your hand off and causes serious spike-caused injury. Wind blows spacewalks halfway across the world. Humidity, while making natties tacky, makes you sticky and sweaty. I personally find dry heat uncomfortable and hard to concentrate, and rain, obviously destroys tamas.
well yes, in cold windy days natties get super tacky and painted get more slip. Sunlight paint stays dry and tacky but you sweat faster. Snow.... i dont think anyone plays while its snowing.
Like Blake W Said. hard spikes on your hands can cause injury. Its best for someone who is very careful of how they play. Even though i love to jam in high wind its still very strange when you do a spacewalk and it ends up in Tokyo and you have to fly all the way there. Most days people like to play in Sunlight. I think very few will play in rain and in snow... i hate snow.
A week or so ago I tried to play in 25 degree weather with 40 MPH winds and frozen rain...not snow...but literally ice moving sideways. The best I could stick was an aeroplane to a j stick
