    Modem cable. I definitely hate using thin strings, and I think I could get used to the sleekness and girth of the cable.

    WYR Sesh on the beach and nowhere else or Sesh way up in the mountains where you can potentially lose your dama forever?

    Sesh on the Beach! The humidity makes kendamas hones for stalls, but be careful not to drop your dama in the seawater!

    Would you rather:
    -Do a freestyle run in front of the Catch and Flow contestants this year, or
    -Have to freestyle in front of a mob of excited Romanian school children?

    Freestyle run in C&F.

    WYR :
    - Invite all of the KWC winners to have dinner with you at Family Mart,
    - or invite all the Catch & Flow winners to have dinner with you at Lawson's?

    Invite all the Catch and Flow winners. Since Bonz won twice, I get to pay for fewer people.

    Would you rather:
    -Have a kendama that's super rare, but you can only display in your room, or
    -Have a few kendamas that are nothing special but you have to sesh them to death?

    I'd rather -Have a few kendamas that are nothing special but you have to sesh them to death

    because why display and not play?


    WYR:
    - only play a ken with a blunt spike
    - only play a ken with chipped bigcup?

    Wyr
    Learn the future and know that you will never be sponsored and kendama dies in 2034 (i hope not, but go with it)
    Or
    Learn your past of kendama so you could learn fron your mistakes, and remember your early achievements.

    Learn your past, there's no advantage to looking in the future, because you can't do anything about it.

    WOULD YOU RATHER:
    Join KUSA's pro team?
    OR
    Land in the top ten in KWC

    Land in the KWC top 10. It opens so many opportunities for you to be sponsored by other companies (even KUSA).

    Would you rather:
    -Have to end all of your balance tricks with a fall in (much easier), or
    -Have to end all your balance tricks with a tradespike (looks cooler)

    I would rather end all my tricks with a tradespike. More stylish

    Would you rather: only be able to do borders balance, or only be able to do tightrope

    Borders because I feel you can combo with them easier.

    Would you rather get set on fire and only be put out when you land a simple spike or would be rather get hit in the shin with a bat for each time you miss a lunar until you stick it?

    Whirlwind.
    WYR make super fire edits with the craziest/best tricks but...
    - Miss every single finishing spike/ender and still have to upload it.
    - Use the full theme song to Hannah Montana as the song for every edit.

    Natty... but out of those, sticky, because they tend to be more durable (for me)

    WYR

    or
    Always hit BB before getting it in

    I’d give the Musou to a beginner.
    Partly because the beginner would know what do with a Musou, and partly to just say “Musou”.


    WYR cryofreeze Bonz Atron and wake him up 100 years into the future, or cryofreeze So Kanada and wake him 100 years into the future?

    I would cryofreeze Bonz. It would make great material for his vlog.

    Would you rather:
    -get any kendama you want, but have to ask your parents for money everytime, or
    -get any kendama you want, but you have to work and save up for them?

    Work and save up. I already do that anyway and as a 28 year old it's flipping stupid to ask my parents to buy me a wooden toy.

    Would you rather:
    Play damas with a bearing/spinner bead but lose it EVERY DAY requiring you to purchase new ones from KUSA every time you run out.
    Play damas with a regular bead and your string twists and tangles up every time you play.
