idea here

I have an Idea
In honor or him I think we should name something after him.
He was the one to invent the ballsign.
He also made the triangle pass popular.
In order to have him live on we could change
triangle pass to Bonkura pass
or
ballsign to Bonkura
In a few years new psers will ask why these items have a strange name
this will give us a chance to tell them about one of the great psers and his
legacy can live on.
anyone want to put this in to action? -

Not sure about the triangle pass but the ballsign might do. Still kind of iffy on the idea though.

I kind of like the pass idea myself but yea if one of them catch on
it would be great -
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 03:38:10
Ballsign to Bonkura would be a bad choice.
Guy A: "Hey, sweet video, what were you spinning?"
Guy B: "Oh, im spinning Bonkura"
-
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 03:38:45
Even though I didn't know em, I've heard a lot about em !
I think If he invented the Ballsign, that's a hell of an idea !
If you don't like the full name, call it a "bonk(y)" ? -

Better would be mentioning Bonkura, when spinning Ballsign or doing triangle pass.
A: Great vid, what pen were you spinning?
B: It's Ballsign mod invented by Bonkura. -

My thoughts exactly.
And besides, its HIS mod, only HE can change the name.
And triangle pass to bonkura pass, no. Sorry. -

yea but after a while mentioning will eventualy wear away
if its a name it will live on forever -
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 03:47:48
eh...
good concept...
but...
"Dude I just ordered 20 Bonkuras"
"Aw I dropped my Bonkura"
"Do you spin a Signo tipped Bonkura?"
"I just learned Bonkura pass fall"
"My Bonkura pass isn't smooth yet"
"Ugh I lost my Bonkura"
just sounds weird... -
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 03:48:51
can't we change the name ballsign to somefin like BB (bonkura's ballsign)
-
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 03:50:41
If you really want to remember him and other spinners who have passed we should just have a moment of silence every September 13.

did bonkura die on the 13th of sep?? i thought he died on 21st..

yup he died on the 13th but we got the news on 21st -

What about a new word in the PS dictionary
Word: Bonk
Type: Adjective
Definition: Something PS related which is original or innovative
Examples: "dood dat combo was liek toly bonk'd out!" - "shit meng, check out dis trilznick, it's bonky!" - "im in a collab wid some pro spinners brah, i gotsta bonk up my combo or ima look hurrrrrrtin"
Took it a little too far? What about the Bi-Sonic?... Y'know, a Sonic that goes BOTH WAYS!!!1!
-
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 04:50:01
we can name after him, but it would probably be either an event (World Tournament), a day, or an award.
-
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 04:51:36
Hehe... the Bonkys.
-
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 04:53:53
nah, for example the "Penspinner of the Year" award could be called the "bonkura memorial award"
-
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 04:53:58
Bonkura memorial day, Sept 13th, where you are only allowed to spin a ballsign :> And for urban myth sake lets throw in the idea that if you dont spin a ballsign that day someone you know will be afflicted with heart failure
-
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 04:56:27QUOTE (sketching @ Oct 4 2007, 09:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hehe... the Bonkys.
Bah we couldn't take that away from Kam!!!
I'm down for a Bonkournament every September. Although there's the risk of JEB sending us "good luck pens" filled with anthrax for that title XDQUOTE ("K4S")Bonkura memorial day, Sept 13th, where you are only allowed to spin a ballsign :> And for urban myth sake lets throw in the idea that if you dont spin a ballsign that day someone you know will be afflicted with heart failure mellow.gif
What about the people who don't have ballsigns? -

Better get trading!
K4S: HAHAH I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING! -
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 05:05:03
Damn, I don't have a Ballsign.
But hey, whatever happened to some of these vids ?!!
Like the NHK vid ect... And what happended to him as well !? -

They probably shouldn't be pen spinning that day...just incase. -

and what mod is this? one you invent? a mod dedicated to bonkura that he probably wouldn't have even spun? -
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 19:58:44
I had also that idea!
What about rename the combo "Neosonic 12-T1 -> Fingerless Thumbaround reverse" into "bonkura"? He does it 100 times in a famous video...
It will be also very helpful! Thats a popular combo, but too long name

that combo is known as 2/3 N3LC.
N3LC = NHK's 3 Loop Combo = TA Reverse > NeoSonic > Thumbsnap -

lolo
A trick named after Bonkura: OKAY but not a minicombo. . . -

I still like the idea of the Bonkura Memorial Day. Everyone should spin a ballsign with a R.I.P. Bonkura insert. Then post a video of you spinning with it or just show it off.
-
Date: Sat, Oct 6 2007 01:37:58
why dont we have the next world pen spinning tournament named the Bonkura World PS Championship? or something to that effect...

ya that sounds awesome.
like ppl make new awesome ballsigns and
have like a spinning competition
and who makes the most sexy ballsign

How about a tournament every September 13? Only people with a ballsign can try?...
-
Date: Sat, Oct 6 2007 02:38:24
how about every september 13 we have a contest to see who has the fanciest ballsign and who can spin a ballsign the best
-
Date: Sat, Oct 6 2007 02:48:15
So, uh, I'm new to the board, so I don't really know much about ぼんくら ... Could anybody give me more info on him, how he died, and some of his videos? o_O I didn't think this was worth a thread, so I posted it in here.

LOL i kinda laughed at these ideas.
Or or or...
We could all but a Bonkura insert into all our ballsign mod. Let's keep the "ballsign" name bonkura wouldnt want us to change the name of his creation.
Or Eso could order T-shirts with Bonkura's face on it!
OR...we could extract a short combo from his video and call it Bonkura's combo. Like Kam's...something spin, i forgot.
Whoa..Bonkura died 2 days after 9/11!!!
*edit*
I remember: Kammy's three loop combo -
Date: Sat, Oct 6 2007 06:29:39
we could just set 13th september as bonkura memorial day on the UPSB calendar.
and we could make a collab every year.
as long as we don't 'quit' we would be able to spread the knowledge to newer spinners who didn't know who bonkura was. -
Date: Sat, Oct 6 2007 17:50:05
What about celebrate/memory (also) his BIRTHday? 05. December?
-
Date: Sat, Oct 6 2007 19:22:55
It's more common to commemorate the death than the birth of something. For instance we remember 9/11 instead of when the WTC were first completed.
-
Date: Sat, Oct 6 2007 19:53:48
Remember his name
but calling a pen BONKURA is stupid
naming a combo may be A smart idea
As we can think of KAM when we spin K4LC
we'd remember BONKURA when we spin a B...LC or something -
Date: Sat, Oct 6 2007 22:10:01
i got an idea lets change "ballsign" to "bon sign" it has a catchy tone to it
-
Date: Sat, Oct 6 2007 22:43:30
As i said before, changing pen mod names...especially one's which are already VERY well established is a poor choice.

Ahem...I already said that but NDiZ(eh is the spelling correct?)didnt get it...
ok to not waste my post...
I kinda agree with the the shirt thing ...also with the memorial thing for bonkura ...the collab for the memorial is good 
...
