"Pre-Kendama Passions"

PS Almost 1 of each kendama stickers I've ever gotten with an order goes on my guitar, ukulele or sketchbooks

 

I play drum set! It's hard deciding which to practice, ken or drums. The struggle is so real

 

I did a lot of penspinning

 

Before Kendama, and still now, I always strive to be a better Tricker ( I do a sport called "Tricking") than I am (and lately I've been making some great progress) and I play the Piano.

 

Fruitbooted before I ever knew what kendama was, saw it in random skate videos I have, had always wondered what it was. Then I found a cheap plastic one like 5-6 years ago, played it for a couple months...then realized that kendama was bigger than I thought and I was playing on wack shit lmao.

Last skate edit I had made, was a few years ago for sure lol. Still blade as much as my destroyed body will let me

 

I've been a juggler since 1994, and then spent a lot of time with diabolo. I can juggle 7 balls and run 2 diabolos, although not simultaneously.

 

I play Afro Cuban Drumss and billiards. I was skating until I shattered my ankle. Kendama was in my speedy recover gift bag from a friend. He opened up a new world to me!

 

Tennis, Bowling, and a ton of Japanese Anime and Manga.

 

I was and still am a musician before a Kendama player. I started as a percussionist and was in a group called Cavaliers Indoor Percussion that placed 9th in the World Class of percussion the year I played with them.

YouTubing cavaliers drum and bugle corps will give you all sorts of results.

Now I mostly play piano and rap.
Also throughout all of highschool I played Baseball and Basketball.

Lets be real though dama is more fun.

 

I was heavily invested in yoyoing before finding kendama through the yoyo community.

 

-Basketball(I still suck)(I still do this because I'm fat AF)
-Cubing(Really slow)(I barely do this, but I'll still do it once in a while)
-Tanki Online(but not really anymore considering that I forgot the password for all 3 of my accounts[lol])
-Clarinet(still playing right now in 8th grade)(Can't quit this because I actually like doing this)
-Rainbow Loom(please just silently accept it....)
-Watch toku!(Preferably Kamen Rider and Super Sentai)(I still do this a lot)
-Yo-Yo(I quit in less than a week, so that sucks)
-Sport Stacking(fastest time for me is about 13 seconds)
And I guess that's it for now.

 

Been skating since I was about 8 years old. If I wasn't a skater, I wouldn't have played kendama!

 

Ayye nice man played clarinet from 6th grade through 12th!

 

I remember playing balero in Mexico wayy before I started playing kendama. I couldn't remember what they were called until I read this!

 

Those were some huge rail spins! So many kendama Players are skiers (when I first started playing kendama, I didn't know that these worlds were so connected!)

 

I've been into skiing for my whole life (but I've never liked ski racing- mainly Freeskiing and big mountain). Most of the things that I was into before kendama, I am still into now, like creating music. Another one of these would be parkour.
One thing that I was into before kendama that I don't do anymore is fingerboarding. I still think fingerboarding is a cool thing, but it kind of faded out for me, and kendama has far surpassed it in my mind.

 

OMG I watched this over and over when I found out that you and @Grandpa Sandz come here!

 

Snowboarding and skateboarding for most of my life. Soccer was a passion also. Was starting varsity and lettered all 4 years in high school but that was about the end of that. Also bowling. That one I'm very good at and still do to this day.
