    Colin Sander Launches DOWNSPIKE Kendama Entertainment Network We are pleased to announce the launch of Downspike, a multi-platform network of Kendama culture and entertainment. The “godfather” of Kendama edits, Colin Sander, felt that the community needed a space where they could post edits, get trick tips, organize sessions, and in general just spread the love of kendama through sharing the bets material online. This fall, that need is addressed with www.downspike.com. Downspike is a network, where users can create their own profiles, post videos, polls, discussions, and more. Users can collect “DS Hype”, which are basically Karma points for contributing to the community. The idea is to gamify, and make kendama fun for those who aren’t elite players. It also offers a forum where users can get trick tips, discuss or organize events, or even directly connect to kendama pros. “Kendama needs a swift kick in the ass right now, and we think this is it”, said co-founder Christian Sander. “It’s impossible to find anything on FKC, and we think this is a much better way to connect dama players”. “Kendama is at a time right now where although it is growing rapidly, we still need a commitment to fostering conversation, building communities, and sharing experiences. Downspike will be a place that content and discussions can exist permanently, can be searched, and eventually I'm hoping it can become a hub for planning, international conversations, event livestreams, & just a place to see the newest and best in kendama” said Colin Sander Downspike is not affiliated with any one brand, but brands are encouraged to create their own profiles and interact with their customers. Brands can also post links to their website and share any videos that they already have on Youtube. Though users will be able to buy/sell/trade used kendamas through the forum, there are no plans for a retail store. The site is media centric, as are its related social pages. For the initial launch, Downspike will be conducting the “DS/GS”, or Downspike Giveaway Series. The DSGS will be a series of several cross functional competitions, with winners being selected by moderators. Contests include things like: My First Dama - short story contest Best Downspike - video contest Top Dawg - Site ranking contest Best Throwback - video contest Username awards etc If you would like to sponsor the DSGS, please contact Christian Sander at (310) 270-3247. Official sponsors will have their brands featured in the DSGS trailer video and in the article and forums, and will appear “down for the movement” from day one. “A rising tide lifts all boats”

    Alex Mitchell (Sol Street Team) and Zach Magnuson (formerly on Atlantic Kendamas) teamed up at MKO 2017 to make a sick doubles edit! Some of these tricks are next level, you don't want to miss out on this edit! . . . . . Alex Mitchell: Instagram: @alexmitchellkendama Alex has been repping Sol Kendamas for a LONG time. You can scroll down his Instagram to see just how long. He finally got picked up when Sol dropped their 2017 Team Edit and announced him as a part of their new Street Team. Since then, Alex has been steadily lacing straight BANGERS. One of the tricks he's bringing back (yeah he used to do these back in 2016, no big deal) is the Solar Flare. What's a Solar Flare? An upside down Boarder's Balance. Yes, you read that correctly. Balancing the tama on the spike of the ken. Insanity. This is just one of the many tricks that Alex has in his arsenal, so I would definitely recommend checking out his Instagram to see what kind of bangers he laces next. Zach Magnuson: Instagram: @zbmags77 You might remember Zach from the 2016 MKO when he famously *first try* yanked his trophy after placing first in the Yank Competition. It has been dubbed The Golden Yank and will forever be remembered in kendama history. If you haven't seen what I'm talking about, you've been under a rock! Zach has been a part of Atlantic Kendamas since September of 2015 after he won their sponsorship contest. After 2 years with the company, however, Zach has since announced on his Instagram that he's decided to part ways with the company to see what else the future holds for him. Zach tried out for a spot on the Sol Kendamas Team back in the summer of 2015 when Sol hosted their Show Your Flow Contest. He made it to the second round of the video contest, but unfortunately didn't make the team. I personally was mind blown by both of his entries and thought he was a shoo-in for the team, click here for Round 1 and Round 2. With this in mind and the fact that Zach is a free agent, could he be one of the new members of Sol Kendamas? We'll just have to wait and see!
