[@Snofzig]

Loved it! It would be great to see more of these in the future!

[@KumaKumaTime]

+Snofzig We'll definitely try to do more

[@alexvenuti3202]

I follow you since almost 2 years and watching your videos about pen spinning got me into it. Now, even tho i'm not that good, it's one of my favorite ways to spend my time. Keep up the great work and greetings from italy :)

[@KumaKumaTime]

+GhostKiller 537 That's awesome! Glad to hear you're into pen spinning. Thanks for watching our vids for so long :)

[@PaulaJaey]

Dunno, I'm willing to watch this 40-ish minute video of you guys answering questions, I don't think an hour or two video of you guys talking about your own videos would be much of a stretch ;D PS. Totally about to start a marathon of Kuma videos I've missed, so wait for the comment overload...

[@KumaKumaTime]

+Paula Choi Let's make it 3 hours...

[@PaulaJaey]

Kuma Time Haha, I'd still watch it :P

[@RA-lh9uh]

you guys are the best on youtube. not even channels with failing videos are close to you. i love your work and enjoy your videos. i would love to be part of your team :)

[@BinaryPLUR]

You are the only channel I ever watched a full Q&A for, really amazing learning about some things about both of you :) best of luck in all you two do! :D

[@KumaKumaTime]

+BinaryPLUR Wow, someone actually made it through the whole thing hahah. But thanks a lot!

[@riccso]

If you guys ever make a movie, you could make a documentary about street performer culture in Taiwan/US. Basically what you do in the Behind The Scenes videos, but with more interviews. I'd totally buy it.

[@Sophia-pw8hl]

Watching this and hearing you guys answer this somehow always inspire me to do better haha. And the music too :') Keep up the good work guys!! Can't wait for the next video

[@KumaKumaTime]

+Sophia In haha, thanks a lot. Going to try and get a new video out next week, we're stoked to release this one :)

[@Lydia-pg9en]

Yay! Hyped! Gonna watch the whole video :D

[@luisenriquevalenzuela1269]

cool q&a joe and todd been watching your vídeos since contact juggling with ian he really inspired me to do contact juggling and still not as good as him but I'm working on it hehe keep the good work. we love you guys too :)

[@KumaKumaTime]

+luis enrique valenzuela Wow, since the beginning. Thanks for sticking around so long. That's awesome to hear you got into contact juggling. Ian inspires us too, that kid can do everything ha.

[@RileyMoses]

Holy shit! I remember seeing that piano video ages ago on some wannabe-KZbin site and always wondered where it came from!

[@KumaKumaTime]

+Riley Moses hahah thats crazy. Now you know.

[@KumaKumaTime]

[@ClaudiaSeow]

+Kuma Time Great idea to do this! :)

[@KumaKumaTime]

+Claudia Seow Yeah, it was fun to do!

[@KumaKumaTime]

+Shady 313 Ahh thank you! Rushed typing all of it out and didn't spell check. My bad.

[@jordahnbrunson7153]

+Kuma Time wait was this live,

[@jordahnbrunson7153]

+Kuma Time wait was this live?

[@rusca8]

Feliks has actually a youtube channel (he is the best speedcuber out there by a pretty big amount considering the level all that people have), but maybe it has too many followers as for you to contact him easily that way. However, you could probably contact him asking on the speedsolving forum. If you find it difficult send me a message and I'll talk with a guy I know that interviewed Feliks twice not so long ago, but I don't think you'll need it, since the cubing world is not that big and contacting the top people isn't that hard after all. He is from australia, by the way. I'd say Melbourne, but I'm not sure. But he travels pretty often due to rubik's competitions, so maybe you can meet him in china or something like that. (You can see the planned oficial rubik's competitions on the WCA web)

[@alexlin1313]

Sweet Q&A!!!

[@KumaKumaTime]

+alexlin1313 :)

[@smileyman1977]

You guys should set up a Patreon to do crowdfunding for your videos. You might not get a huge amount at first, but every little bit helps, right?

[@KumaKumaTime]

Yeah, we're definitely going to look into patreon and try to get that up and going soon.

[@bhavzo]

Hello, Your Guys are Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing, please make more vlogs and QnA :) I have a question, i am sorry for the inconvenience, but how did you end up collaborating with AudioTreats ? ---Fan from India :D Keep up the Amazing Work! :)

[@DreaAguilar]

Wow! Great self-interview. Seems like you've had a lot of practice.... ;)

[@KumaKumaTime]

+Drea Aguilar Hahaha we had a good crash course a few weeks back!

[@nickolascorona8163]

I really think you guys are talented in doing what you do and im not just sayin this i ACTUALLY mean it.Keep doing what your doing because you guys are making most of us happy to.Although...i think Naruto is what inspires me in most things ~Thats my ninja way~ haha

[@GiftsFromGod]

Feliks solves in 5 seconds and 6 with 1 he's the WR holder!!!

[@ajahajah]

Would be interesting if u can do a nanchanku video!

[@frailty1288]

Wow only at kuma do you see a q&a at 2:30 in the morning

[@KumaKumaTime]

+GhOsTLorDBeTa hahah sorry, it's 3:48pm over here. Go to sleep!

[@frailty1288]

+Kuma Time lol

[@juliankeogel3938]

[@GiftsFromGod]

Rubik's one hand madness

[@megabidoof5410]

The tricks are called thumbaround and charge

[@KumaKumaTime]

+Connor Forster That's what we said......（￣～￣;） haha good to know.

[@Aiden456live]

thank you guys for responding to ppls comments! A lot of famous youtubers don't! Also have you ever had a kid be a main person in one of your videos?

[@KumaKumaTime]

Of course! It's the least we could do. We're actually in Japan right now and we'll be featuring a kid in a video. Stoked to film with him!

[@KumaKumaTime]

Of course! It's the least we could do. We're actually in Japan right now and we'll be featuring a kid in a video. Stoked to film with him!

[@Aiden456live]

Kuma Time Nice!!! excited to see when it comes out! You're both amazing!!!

[@justhere8897]

do you guys often fight? I love your videos AMAZING!!!!

[@KumaKumaTime]

+Nitza Rojas Thanks! We used to fight all the time when we were little. Not so much now, but we still have the occasional argument and disagreement. But we get along surprisingly well most of the time haha.

[@justhere8897]

[@65lol56weird65lol56]

You guys should maybe team up with RonnieSteetStunts from Utah to do something. I know you guys were just here but I'm almost positive he'd be down to come up with something. Maybe redeem your Parkour feelings haha.

[@KumaKumaTime]

+65lol56weird65lol56 Haha he's one of our good friends. We actually helped him film his last zombie video but we've talked about doing some other videos when we get back.

[@hafliii]

oh is your guys last name is kuma or its just a name for the channel?(if its not then whats your last name)

[@KumaKumaTime]

+Halflee Mt It's the name of our channel. Our last name is Robins.

[@phrozenover781]

It's bear in Japanese! :)

[@ElekrisLP]

People are Awesome: 1.060.237 Subscribers; reuploading clips from other people Kuma Films: 318.473 Subscribers; contacting artists/athletes and recording them by themselves i don't get it

[@KumaKumaTime]

haha, we don't get it either

[@888thawk]

+KumaTime you guys got a patreon?

[@KumaKumaTime]

+Damion D Not yet, we're going to start working on it these next few weeks and hopefully have it ready soon. Do you have any suggestions for rewards? That's been the hardest part to figure out haha.

[@888thawk]

+Kuma Time Maybe something simple as signed t-shirts at first or shout outs at the end of video content, then as you get more patrons you could up the prizes to include some of the awesome skill toys featured, signed by the team of course :D Bottom line, if people want to support, they don't need extravagant stuff in return. Folks love what you do and if we want more, we should patronize the movement.

[@smileyman1977]

+Kuma Time I'd stay away from doing exclusive Patreon physical content unless it was something really easy to fulfill like stickers. Too much hassle on your end. If you do go with physical content then a reward level could be a discount on physical content. Other possible rewards. 1.) Early access to videos (this is by far the most common reward for video content) 2.) Listed in the credits as a supporter (also really common) 3.) Patreon only monthly Q&A (the group Pentatonix does this via Spreecast). There are probably other apps you could use. 4.) Access to daily vlogs. You could film 60 minutes of behind-the-scenes content and edit it into 10 min sections and not have to film every day, or do something like a daily periscope to do this. 5.) Weekly or monthly film tutorial tips/tricks. 6.) Weekly/monthly film editing tips/tricks (particularly if it was focused around a recently released video).

[@KumaKumaTime]

+John Johnson thank you these are all great suggestions!

[@KumaKumaTime]

+Damion D thanks for the suggestions!
