What's New

We've teamed up with the creative minds behind 44 RPM to bring you the Flat Pack Pill! Check it out in our online shop!

44 RPM has been hard at work lately, creating many unique and awesome toys. Their flat pack designs are laser-cut from a single sheet of birch-wood, offering a new look at many different skill toys. We were very excited when they approached us with the idea for a Flat Pack Pill, and we couldn't be happier with the results! There is a whole new world of trick concepts possible with the Flat Pack Pill, just waiting for you to explore and discover!

The Flat Pack Pill's design allows for 16 nickels to be added during assembly, bringing the total weight of the toy up to that of your average beechwood Pill. 44RPM has previously released the 'Penny' Kendama, which similarly allows pennies to be added to the toy for additional weight. Being a Canadian company, we opted to use nickels for the Flat Pack Pill, since Canada does not produce or use pennies! 

This year we received over 50 entries to our yearly contest, and we're seriously impressed with the quality of the submissions! Next year we may have to call it the '4 Year War' instead of the '4 Year Contest', as there was an epic battle of skill and stye in every category, leaving our judges with some tough decisions in selecting a winner! 
(Clicking on a contestant's name will link you to their entry)

Pro Category:

1st place: Wyatt Bray
2nd place: Nui Wong

Wyatt has been dominating the Kendama scene lately, and his performance in our contest was no different. Incredibly difficult and fresh tricks, a clean cut edit, and that goony COTK style. Congrats, Wyatt! In second place, Nui's strange and creative style helped him stand out above the rest. Honourable mentions to pretty much everyone else that entered the pro category, some seriously quality edits in the mix! 

Am Category:

1st place: Bryson Lee
T-2nd place: Rolf Ganer, Soma Kanemoto, Nic Warren

The amateur category was a serious battle, but with tricks that rivalled the pro entries, Bryson has been selected as the winner! Seriously epic stuff! Picking a second place entry proved too difficult a task, so our judges instead decided to split 2nd place three ways, in lieu of awarding a third place. Congrats to everyone involved!
Honourable mentions: Rudy Simpliciano, Cullen Daniels, MJ, Nathan St-Arnaud

Pill Category:

1st: Bryan Hansen
2nd: Joshua Cansana
3rd: Chris Marquest

Bryan has been turning heads with his pill tricks for some time now, but now he's moved on to exploding heads with his insane and technical tricks! Congrats on the win, Bryan! Joshua from the Pill USA team also had an amazing entry, with some of the smoothest string/flow lines we've ever seen. In third place, Chris Marquest was slaying jumbo tricks like its his job. All around, an amazing showing in the pill category. Thanks to everyone who took the time to make an edit!

Additional prizes: 

Best trick: Ryan Walker (Lighthouse held during cartwheel)
Prize: Terra Painted Standard

Forgot it isn't Rasta week, man: Will Schiebe
Prize: Terra Painted Standard

A huge thanks to everyone who took the time to enter our contest, you all rule! If you won a prize, please contact us with your shipping details (terrakendama@gmail.com).  

 

Skill-toys made from exotic wood species have always been our company's specialty. For this reason, last fall we were excited to release the exotic series of pills, a beautiful lineup of purpleheart, zebrano, cumaru, and vera wood. Today, we are proud to show off three new additions to this lineup: bamboo, padauk, and wenge! They are available now in our webshop.

A while back we were introduced to CizreK, a skill toy enthusiast who can shred more toys than you can name. You may remember him from the KendamaJax video that was posted on various kendama blogs not too long ago, in which he combined kendama and Astrojax to come up with some funky tricks.

Cizrek also jams the Pill, and he released a new edit just last week (see below). Lots of crazy tricks, give it a watch!

Rodney just posted an entry to the 3rd annual Grip Kendama New Year's Contest, check it out below!
The pressure was on for Rod to put together a banger edit this year, as he won first place in the pro division in both 2013 and 2014! Lots of amazing entries were submitted, looks like it'll be quite the battle for first place!

Guy is an extremely talented yoyo player, pill slayer, and juggler, and we couldn't be happier to have him on our team! In the past he has held spots as a professional yoyo player, so he'll be bringing some diversity to our already well-rounded team. 

Enjoy his newest edit, filmed and cut just yesterday! Thanks to Jake Wiens for the help putting this edit together.

Enjoy!

 

I've been playing around with Open Bazaar today, which is a newly launch P2P marketplace network. Buyers and sellers interact directly on this network, without the need for a middleman to run the service. OpenBazaar is currently in Beta, so anyone interested in trying it out should pay careful attention to the warnings on the developer's website.

I've created a store on the network for Terra Kendama (dafe1b1d9ed6d507952a51e512d481af3f8683ba), if you are interested and manage to get the Beta running please check it out! I would love to hear from anyone who manages to find us on here, as I've been troubleshooting connectivity issues all afternoon, so a confirmation that our node is reachable would be great! ...and if you do manage to find us, you might just see a nice price listed for beechwood pills ;)

Cheers,
Alex

Today we are proud to officially introduce a new product to our shop: Jumbo Pills!

These are a scaled-up version of our standard size Pills, designed for maximum playability. Similar to a jumbo kendama, these Pills are easier to play, and are perfect for stage performances. Available in 3 new colours, as well as a natural beechwood option. 

All jumbo Pills ordered through our webshop will come with some Terra dice, as well as extra stickers! 

We're pleased to announce that we'll be offering some new Pill colours this summer, as the first release of a few new Pill products we've been working on! New to the lineup is a burnt red, an apricot orange, and a purple! This means that we'll be discontinuing two of the old colours: cranberry red and golden yellow

As always, we're proud to be collaborating with Kendama USA to bring these products to you. Head on over to their shop to pick up one of the new colours (we'll have them up for sale in the Terra shop in just a couple short weeks)!
