BKA

Outlink is a video competition for BKA Members only.

On Feb 1st, BKA will post a video of a single trick, with a keyword. (e.g. Big Cup & "Kendama!").

You then have until 2300GMT on Feb 14th to post a video of yourself in this thread, doing that trick, then saying the keyword. Simple! If you have not posted a video at the end of the time limit, then you are OUT of Outlink.

Then, on Feb 15th, everyone who has posted will go through to the next round.
This will be a new trick, with a new keyword. And so we repeat the process.
The tricks will get gently harder, and the time limit will reduce slightly as the competition continues.

To win, you just have to be the last person left still posting videos.

RULES
1. Join this forum, if you haven't already. (It's free!)
2. Join the BKA Membership scheme before Feb 14th to be eligible. (It's cheap! You don't have to be British! Everyone is welcome to join!)
3. Use any competition-size kendama.
4. Make sure you film clearly, preferably outside, or at least in good lighting. Upload anywhere (JTV, Youtube, Vimeo, Instagram, etc etc)
5. Post a link to your video in this thread.

PRIZE(S)
The prizes will depend on how many people enter the first round. (See video below.) So if you only see a few people entering, then persuade your friends to enter too, for the chance of a better prize for everyone.
UPDATE: Extra prizes on offer:
IF 25+ people enter round 1: Play XL grip from [user]kaskaderos.com[/user]
IF 21+ people enter round 1: Custom tama from [user]Dimensions[/user] to anyone who can beat him
(Condition?): Custom Play kendama from [user]cello_91[/user]

UPDATE UPDATE:
1st Prize: Speckled Ozora + Custom tama from [user]Dimensions[/user]
2nd Prize: Custom Play kendama from [user]cello_91[/user]

Let's get the ball rolling, or maybe, in this case, let's get the ball trapped.

Slow take-up so far. If you're going to enter, folks, don't procrastinate! Lots of early entries are more likely to persuade ditherers that they may make the difference to getting to 21....

Pretty sure you could increase it by one, with a small amount of persuassion. ;)
If you don't want to BUY MY BOOKS 😉, then why not ask your local library to order them in, and read them for free? That would help too. Cheers!
