Mini Kendama Doc
These high school kids interviewed Wiens and Mash for this documentary piece they made for school. Mash’s part was probably my favorite. Nice to see some younger kids in SF actually getting down.
Roots Tour 2013 Line Up
All the pros have been announced! It’s basically all the same people as last year but with Alex Smith added. Can’t wait to get on the road, and you can check all the details here.
Epic Shirt
I found this AMAZING shirt online and it even has damas on it! I was literally thinking about making the next Deal With it shirt look a lot like this. With just a bunch of antique japanese toys. But it looks like they beat me to it!
Kengarden Pop Up Shop
If you are in SF tonight come thru! Kengarden pop up shop opening inside the San Franspsycho Divis location. Tributes, Ozoras, Yo Yos, Tsunas, PIlls, Paw Goods, Sourmash Epicness, Unknwn yoyo holsters, Performers, and Deal with it and KG shirts. We got what you need for that skill nerd in your life.
Kengarden Menu
We are coming correct this year for Dama fest! Check out this amazing menu Wiens put together of all the products we will be having at the Kengarden/Deal with it booth. Also 99% of the products at our booth were made and designed right here in the USA! Something no one else can claim. ‘Murica!
Zach Yourd Edit 6
Stoked to see Yourd put out a new edit. Loving that double tap stuff and that weird double tre flip weirdness. Also stoked to see an edit that isn’t just all dama. Didn’t know Yourd could shred that hard on a snowboard did ya?
Mugen Comeback
I made the Bring back Mugen fb page because I didn’t really know what else to do to try and get these guys to listen. So I figured it was a long shot. But Holy shit it actually worked!! Realistically I think they are a lot of people that need to be thanked for them coming back. Obviously Tamotsu Kubota and everyone at Gloken made this last push to really get them going. Before that I would have to say Yoko and Ruisch need to be thanked for their tireless work trying to get them back as well. I’ve heard they will be around the $35-$45 mark and not have a JKA seal. Everyone is saying they won’t be the same but do you really think they will be that different? Iwata knows if he strays to much from the original people will not be stoked. So I can not freaking wait to see what they come up with. See people if you really want something bad enough you can make it happen!
The Summit Documentary
This is “a video documentary chronicling the 4-day crunch session that saw CLYW andOne Drop create, test, and produce their fantastic collaborative design, the Summit yoyo.” I’m really into this, nice work guys.
Mini Kendama Keychains
I love my KROM dama keychains but I found these little guys online and they look awesome too. I’m pretty sure these are old, so I wonder who made these. Either way I want one.
Ann Connolly X The Kengarden
Jake made this awesome video of Ann one day while hanging out in japan town. Then the edit got on a few giant blogs and it seriously went viral, almost has 200K views on it! So congrats to Jake and Ann for making this great edit together. And it was a good thing for Fatlace Ann lost her luggage because look at all that free promotion!
