    I posted this on UCPSB, but I think it died when Zombo told us to go to zomboisgod.tk. Thanks to fratleym for uploading, I just found it.

    BTW: Sorry if I posted in the wrong section...but this is where I would put it on UCPSB.

    That show was mind-blowing. I'm sure people in Japan smoke bud all the time with their wacky TV shows and crazy cartoons.

    For some reason I don't quite get Japanese humour. Maybe It's coz I can't speak Japanese

    Pretty cool. Japanese sure catches up things quickly, despite the fact that PS community in Japan started slightly later.

    interesting fact. i still think bonkura looks too strange, i always thought he would look much cooler. laugh.gif

    and japan TV seems a little crazy to me. people can suddenly start shouting japanese for no reason, which is rather irritating, as i have no clue what their talking about. ohmy.gif

    well if we're going to talk about looks, i really thought bonkura would look more like ryo :/
    until that interview at kyoto killed it. KILLED IT.

    there are '4,5' spinners in my school. laugh.gif
    most of them are mediocre spinners, if i may be slightly judgemental, who spin to show off and boost self esteem.

    and back to the topic on bonkura's looks laugh.gif : i thought he would remain mysterious, like a De'vo. ssst.gif

    OMG Robotic hand! biggrin.gif Type in breakdown and it will do it perfectly. That'd be cool to have. Or to use to test at different angles and such.

    Winter's hair is so sexy. dry.gif

    biggrin.gif Woot at slow motion!

    Let's all move to Japan and invade their xenophobic culture. Woopee!

    Wow... it's a pretty cool video.. it will definitely be great to see such a programme on television.
    I think that two handed combo at 3:31 is really spectacular.. havent really kept in touch with penspinning for a long time.. but was it neobak fall displayed?

    Anyway, sorry for my ignorance, but who is Crash and Bonkura? unsure.gif

    Bonkura is a Japanese spinner who has been spinning for 6 years I believe. He's one of the most technically skilled and creative spinners in the world:

    Here was his latest solo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFBKGQ5ScDc

    Crash is a spinner from London. He organised the last world tournament and has good connections with every board. I've never seen his spinning, but he has put in some extreme practice in recent times, so I expect if he's not awesome now, he will be very soon.

    heh, its ok. smile.gif. crash was the one organizing the World Tournament, and he has done lots to try to expose PS to people. Bonkura is one of the best spinners in the whole world, you should see his spinning in youtube. smile.gif.

    lol, crash didnt want me to watch this thing, XDD. but yeah, this is indeed a cool video, even though i understand.. nothing. xD.

    Noone knows about Sunrise, or exactly who all the other spinners are?

    Winter is the first kid shown when they pan from left to right, he's got curly hair. Toast will do the rest I think...
