    Max Norcross is back with the bangers! Norx has been pretty busy lately with all of the stuff he does for Sweets, not to mention having to take it easy on account of his broken leg. He didn't really play kendama during this year's MKO, so he wanted to make up for it. After watching Ben Herald's, Kevin Desoto's, and the Gallaghers' newest videos, Norx felt inspired to lace. Here is what he managed to get during his Sweets Studio Sesh! Watch the Max Norcross Pro Model Film! [MEDIA] Stay up to date with Max on social media!

    Dendama is looking to expand beyond Japan. On April 14th, Dendama, the sensor-laiden kendama with a digital interface, launched it's kickstarter campaign. The company aims to "gameify" the traditionally analog toy. It's an interesting concept, being able to battle anyone in the world through the app with out actually going anywhere. Very meta. TheDendama uses a coil sensor, an accelerometer, and a gyro sensor. The sensors recognize where the ball lands and can analyze the ball’s movement to identify different tricks on the spike and cups. The Dendama connects to an app, with several different game modes. One of the modes is essentially a timed ladder, similar to tetris where you can make your opponent "lose time" by hitting a trick first. Another is Dendama Occupy (Jin-Dash). Tap on the trick you want and complete it within the time limit to steal the spot from your opponent. Gain ground on your opponent to steal their spots away. Whoever is left with the most territory, wins. How do you feel about the idea of playing kendama digitally? Would it save you gas money, make new friends? Would you miss the unplugged, natural aspect of wood? Would you add it to your collection? Downspike has lined up an AMA with Yoshishiro Otani and Tyson Batino, makers of Dendama. Stay tuned and link up directly with them in the forums to ask them anything. Dendama aims to ship by year end 2017.

    My friend was playing the first song in this edit today (Chvrches - The Mother We Share) and after a second of recognizing it was from a kendama edit but not knowing which one, I realized it came from the legendary CVK Edit 3. So I of course had to re-watch it! I'll just leave this here for everyone's viewing pleasure....
