Just curious if anyone is still playing Kendama? I know it was a super big thing in skiing around the early 2000s! Especially in some of the early ski movies like ski porn, and with some of the OGs like Tanner Hall. been getting back into it and it’s super fun, wondering if any of you legends are still seshing on the Kendama 🤟🏼

freeskiers barely had the internet in 2004, so not surprised it didn't show up much

You're allowed to sit in the top-shack? Wish Whistler was like that.

Hell yeah. I leave mine in the trunk of my car. Perfect for parking lot chilling or car camping activities.

I've been doing Kendama for about 5 years and I've been using a Sol Kendama recently, the 2UP shape is heavier than most sweets kendamas but I feel like I can never go back after using it. Feels amazing and learned a lot of new tricks on it
