    This thread goes out to all the DS-ers who have ghosted, semi-ghosted, or taken an extended leave of absence. Shout 'em out and tell em you miss 'em.

    my list:

    @7Cabbages - used to be the funniest dude on here. I think he may have stopped playing kendama so much. Posted more begleri and less dama on his IG and then who knows. Hasn't been active this year.

    @Ben Lowe - OG Moderator, still around a decent bit but stepped back last year. Understandable as his output between news, product reviews, and hilarious videos was non stop, probably not sustainable for anyone with a family and full time job.

    @Congarranza - Bro, I still have a #DSGS for you but you told me to hang onto it til we kicked it in person!

    @Grandpa Sandz - Colin last logged on 3 days ago. He's lurking but he never posts. DON'T BE SCARED BRO!



    who u guys missin?

    @Ben Lowe will be mine. I’m new here and to Kendama. Picked one (duncan) up at a closing TRU sale past April and first YouTube vids I ever saw/watched of Kendama were by CutTheNoise and RachJamsKens and I still watch some of their unboxing vids or trick vids for inspiration and just for the fun of it. Not sure if Rachel is a member on here or not?

    My brother showed me Ben Lowe vids and that’s what really got me to buy my first kendama.

    @Uriel Sanchez made some awesome tutorials. I definitely learned a thing or two from him.

    Apologies for my absence! My cameraman/ editor has been badly laid up after an operation. We shot an edit in the summer, and only recently got round to going through it. Hopefully it'll be up'n'ready before Christmas! Cheers, D

    You're too kind! I'll do my best to get the new one out soon (there's a couple of weird new tricks on it I'm pretty pleased with :) )
