    For sure man - its still basically an accident to land it but you're absolutely right that is a trick which felt like you needed superpowers or something to do. Blown away when I hit the first one.

    Its actually really amazing how good it feels to land Kendama tricks. Its not like anything else I've tried, they're so unbelievably satisfying.

    Started being able to hit inward lunar every once in a while! Feels like back when I first learned regular lunar, so sketch.

    Nice! I keep needing to work on that.

    I hit some zero spin j-sticks today for the first time. I probably could have done them earlier but I never tried lol!! Super fun, weird, cool looking, and satisfying to hit.

    Got dub j-stick and lighthouse trade spike today and only took about 30 mins on each. I shouldn't have gone straight to insta lighty flips without learning lighthouse trade, nice way to finish back in ken grip.

    Yeah! After awhile you won't even think to pull straight up to spike, swing spike all day long.
