Hey guys! We just released our newest movie and I wanted you all to see. Kendama has opened up some amazing doors for me, and I hope this film shows you guys what kendama is really about.

I encourage you guys to set aside some time to watch this because it's so long. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

saw this thread awhile ago and forgot to post in it, how the hell did this go so unnoticed? totally awesome work man. some shots had some scary moire, but that's hard to control. i still don't understand the point of the whole kendama thing but the movie didn't even seem to revolve around that as much as you guys just having fun as friends and being stoked on it. i loved it

that was so sick, just watched the whole thing. The video itself was amazing, and the kendama tricks were insane. although im not familiar with kendama, I am for sure gonna try one out soon, you got me stoked to get my hands on one, looks like a blast

just so everyone knows, those tricks are INSANE. if you think hugging each other in celebration is excessive, its not enough. i cant describe to you how frustrating it is to learn ANY of that, let alone get it on camera. if your not dedicated, dont buy one.

This is amazing! I watched it right when it came out with some of my buddies. The filming was on point and so was the editing. I look forward to seeing more of your work (maybe some ski edits).

Thanks everybody! Loving the feedback!

And FriedRice, you are right. Learning tricks can be incredibly frustrating. But I wouldn't say "don't buy one if your not dedicated." I have a lot of friends that have on that just play for fun or mess around with it when they have some free time.

fair enough, let me rephrase. dont buy one thinking youll be as good as these guys in a few weeks. but its not too hard to get the hang of, so buy one.

Sat down to watch this whole thing tonight. I don't even own kendama, but it was still one of the most enjoyable things I have watched. Loved the filming, the scenery, and the general vibe that everyone had. Good Stuff!

A great watch. Loved the vibe throughout.

Kendama aint that far dissimilar to what to what my passion was. I fully appreciate the circle of friends you make around the world just by having the same love. Brings people together.

Those tricks look insane and I really wanna see the hand eye co-ordiantion translates over. I got ideas.
