Alex Ramos | Folken Kendama | Pro Team Entry
Seriously one of the most underrated players in the 'dama world. If only you knew his history with 'dama as well as I do. After playing for 2 &1/2 years, he finally decides to enter for a sponsorship. It's about time him & I collaborated too. Been overdue for the longest time. Ahah, so check it. If you don't know Mr. Ramos, he's basically one of those super talented ones that become consistent at whatever they learn. He lost his first battle at The Mateo Challenge (here in Sacramento), and after that, he just never lost a battle (and that's in the Advanced ladder)! He went back to taking on school and dance choreography more seriously and so he's been missing out on the new tricks that the newcomers are quickly learning and mastering. However, despite his absence in playing as much as he used to, he still has wayy more consistency with the fundamental tricks, which are the ones that matter when you're trying to improve your skill or become Japanese-like. Creativity is what he aims for now as he's back in the game and getting active again. I didn't have to wait long while filming with this guy as he laced combos left and right in usually under half an hour. He's still got it. I really hope he goes pro because his potential is really one to look out for.
Oh, and he's genuinely a cool friend to kickit with, too. ^_^
Don't ever forget about having fun if you're getting serious about kendama[;
