    Landed my first sitting-on-a-chair lighthouse in to j-stick. Feels fun to do some non-cup tricks without knees and just lounging out with the dama in my hands.

    Goofing around today, not really down to jam so I lersnred turn table, and this odd trick where you spin the tama off of the spike, pull it up to catch it, and let the tama bite the ken and balance it on your pinky while it spins

    Super easy trick, but looks insane when you get 2 or more spins in!

    It's unofficially called "Clutch".
    Why? I don't know.
    But i can tell you that it's an original trick from Tajima Akira (Spingear).
