    I really want to go, but my skill range is definitely not as good as some other players (I've never competed in an open division). Would it b worth it still?

    If you have the finances to travel to japan, it’s totally worth it. You meet so many people that honestly it’s about the atmosphere more than the competition itself.

    I was thinking of submitting a clip. Not something crazy (definitely a level 3 at least). It’s around USA with Contact Slinger. I’ll show the clip again on insta. But how do we submit clips to Gloken?

    That window has closed for this year, unfortunately.
    Was open till late February, IIRC?
    Anyway, by my calculations, the first trick video should be out in about a week or so!

    I like the tricks, I can do 1-3 easily, 4 is the best level for me, as I can do all of the tricks, but a few require a little grind. I can do a few of the level 5's and 2 level 6's. I'm going to try to get 4 consistant.

    Can anyone clarify for me if Lightning Drop Fast 1 Turn Airplane is a lightning drop -> 1 turn airplane? I’m not sure what the “fast” is about. And am I suppose to catch it in front of me like a moon circle fast/ goon circle?

    Level 7 is up. Is it just me or does level 7 seem much easier than level 6? Not sure why but the level 6 tricks were really random/weird

    I feel you. when i saw level 6 yesterday i felt like the difficulty kinda shifted up with a few exceptions. But seeing level 7, i say that beside that it fits the level, it felt like the difficulty is insignicantly below level 6.

    Now i've tried some tricks at that level & i only figure ot atleast 1-2 tricks...

    for me i do the fast part sideways-ish kinda like how alex hirota does...

    for me the idea of fast is that cut the swing part(right after you get the grip of the ken/tama) & try to do the catch quickly. Does it implies for it as "fast"...

    that's how i understand the trick

    Not the same.
    The “fast” part cuts out half a turn as opposed to regular LD, 1tA
    Also applies for all “fast” tricks

    What is the highest level trick you guys have been able to land? I'm hoping to get at least one 7 or 8.

    They’ve also messed up one (and a hilarious one, at that), at an earlier level.
