    A video where the Kendamas came to life would be awesome! Sort of like toy story, but only in the fact that they come to life. Maybe a Kendama that gets sad after it's put down for it's last jam session or something?

    As simple as it sounds, we all just want a kendama documentary featuring all of the people who made kendama what it is today.

    I have always thought making a kendama movie would be the most amazing thing. For example, the KUSA japan bonus footage edit is about as close as our community has gotten to this. I feel like getting to follow along with the player's journey, and watching the progression and things made the entire thing just amazing. If a kendama movie were made that followed a few of the pros through an entire year of kendama, (events, trick grinding, everyday life, behind the scenes at a dama warehouse, etc.) that would be absolutely sick. That would be something I would love to watch and definitely share with friends.

    Love all of the pro edits!

    Would be interesting to see some stuff with the 360 camera. Either people surrounding the camera doing sync tricks or those lines involving multiple people where you pass the kendama around.

    Love your pro mod and congrats on all your succes!!! You should do a trick tutorial series where you and other sweets players teach tricks that people maybe vote for on your Instagram.

    Another better idea(forget the last one) You should recreate some of the crazy tricks that maybe you or Max have done in some of your really really old videos.

    Nice edit Coop! I love edits where color is incorporated in some way. I am from the PNW as well and you totally nailed the moss and trees in your colorway. I especially like the shot where the kendama comes into focus on the other side of the stream. It looks like it is a part of nature. I think it would be cool to make an edit that incorporates hyper-contrast. I'm thinking like Sin City where everything is black and white except for one color. (Red lipstick, blue eyes, etc.) You could shoot a noir style edit in black and white except for the tama colors. You could even do some backlit silhouette trick shots!

    I'd say a big thing for Sweets right now is how its getting into the biking scene with Reed Stark and No jumper features. So doing more of this will help to expand the community. Do more videos that concentrate on kendama and other sports or activities an equal amount to get people from different categories of life to become interested in kendama.

    Yoo cooper you can go to the place you were born and make a video with the friends that you started in the kendama and go to the spots that you used to jam and also film your new spots and make like a timeline since you beginning and talk about how the kendama change your life as well. Also your video of the pro announcement is the best dude good job you inspired me everyday boy

    sick edit mate!
    it's a bit adventurous but you could put every state of America on pieces of paper and pick one randomly, then travel to that state and lace 50 tricks (one for each state) and build an edit from that! i think that would be great and alot of fun.
    keep slaying

    I think video with effects like @Ben Lowe is doing (check his awesome job on his instagram @cutthenoise). Also edit whit videos from people all around the world, with flag of their country in the back wouldbe sick. I mean one quick combo from every country with their flag. Also fragment of painting a kendama in video would be great. But I think the best idea to make a video woul be "the normal day of pro kendama player". Starting when you are waking up, breakfast with quick combo, than going to work, kendama session during work, and ending on going to slepp. That would be dope. Love your edits!

    Do a series like skate support from braille, where people send in videos of tricks they're trying to do and you respond with a video of what you see they're doing wrong and practice steps so they can do the trick... go check it out on braille skateboards channel.

    A video where they are turning the kendama. As they turn the big cup it cuts to a trick involving big cups. Turning the small cup, maybe a Nightingale trick. As they turn the spike, cut to a shot of someone landing insane spike trick. Turning the base cup, and someone lands a handle stall.

    It shows how important every little edge and corner of the kendama can be used and appreciated
