This page seems to imply there's still a connection but it's from May this year so can't say how current it is.
I'm glad I logged back on DS. I've been working on something the past week. I wanted to started archiving info/data. So I created this google sheet. Sponsor Player List If anyone would like to help, I'll probably make a separate post.
You might stop in over on Kendama Discord Server (KDS) and look at their dama-wiki channel. There might be something interesting for you there too.
KROM has updated their Team Page. (FYI if you're in a country with a local KROM site then you may get redirected there instead of the Team Page in the link)
Wyatt Bray has left KUSA. This one hits especially hard for me since he became tribe around the time I started playing. His KUSA edits were legendary, and I'm frustrated at Kendama USA for letting so much talent go to waste.
People move on and relationships change over time. I'm not sure I'd call it a waste of talent, more like he and/or KUSA are getting ready for some changes; it happens. New roads for each so there's the opportunity to see twice as much freshness. Sounds like it could be a good thing for us on this side of the screen and probably good for both of them as well.
Fair enough sir. If this heralds the start of another comeback for Kendama USA, then so be it. Also, if they need players, I'm more than willing to throw my hat in the ring.
Cazz Lorde, famous for being formerly affiliated with Kendama Co and Pacific Northwest Kendamas (PNW), has apparently started a new kendama brand. Here is SRC Kendama, which is part of a larger apparel and lifestyle company called the Shadow Realm Collective (SRC). They announced 3 pros recently: -Former KenCo and PNW Pro Javin Knisley; -FlyHighThomas (IG: goodvibes13_); and -Former GT Prospect Micha Logan (aka HongBoots)
I liked this, but hard to like. Apparently there was some controversy in beliefs and opinions that caused a divide. Free Agent Season in Kendama.. Also Mickey Schelling got picked up by Su Lab. His announcement edit is on their YT page
Can't share the Su Lab IG TV embed so here's the link. As for the Aynedter change you could optimistically consider your 'like' for the bringing of the news not the news itself.
Its odd to me that there is no mention of Philip on that page, considering he was a co-founder of kendama.dk (KROM), a pro player on their team for some years, and the winner of some competitions during that time (Euro freestyle champ for a year or two iirc?)
