About 5 months ago i learned pen spinning from the GPC (weird place to start but the first PS video i ever watched was of Le0n spinning a leek)
i started practising at home
then at school
then my friends were like woah! WTF! Show us how you do it!
so i taught them what i knew
now i know lots more
and they're like woah! show us!
I can't teach them anymore, it's too damn complicated and time consuming
Now my science teachers are complaining to me because I started PS in my school
Now people don't concentrate in lessons and drop their pens every 2 seconds or so
So, tell me UPSB
Who have you got hooked into PS? -

Ive gotten alot of friends into it, they got past the fundies and knew a bit of advanced tricks but then just couldnt get into it any more. So All my friends and other people are just watchers.

I've tried, but they're all still trying to charge and sonic. Many have asked me to make them pens, which I'll do maybe during christmas.

Nope, everyone thinks its cool but too hard to learn.

Pretty much the same mentality around my friends
...why is your teacher complaining to YOU, Kalcite. Shouldn't they be taking matters into their own hands and say handing out punishment for people disrupting the class by constantly dropping pens/pencils? -

Yes, lefty101, tomahawk and a few others that are not on the internet.

I reckon I must have taught 15-20 people at least one trick, a few in high school, a few in college and my best friends can all do a trick or two

alot of my friends learned sonic, TA from me..
but noone takes it serious.. -
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 10:31:07
Few people of my class. And yeah, the teachers have started getting annoyed of the noise when the pen drops to the table. Well currently they can do only ThumbAround (not very well so it drops often ^^) and a little bit Sonic. That all i have teached to them.
I'm trying to get my friend to ask his mom to order the pendolsa ComSsa mod pen set from jetpens and i'd get half of them and pay half of the whole price. Since i'm hopeless cause i can't get a good spinning pen from anywhere cause i don't have a credit card and my mom is not gonna order anything. -

2 serious ones. quite good, though they already knew TA harmonic before i introduced them to this stuff.
-
Date: Fri, Oct 5 2007 23:41:29
I've taught one person, he's here on UPSB, too.
BTW: I've gotten spinning banned from History class.

Today i had the opposite effect. I was in class and the girl i sat beside happened to know how to do TA. So i started doing the same simple combo i do every class which is 'sonic rise -> fake double -> fingerpass rev 12-23-34; repeat' and i think she thought i was trying to show her up because she stopped spinning after seeing me do that combo a few times...I feel like a jerk

No one, most of the people thinks that I have nothing better to do
-
Date: Sat, Oct 6 2007 20:05:00
haha
many of my friends have asked me to make them pens
but i wont
they need to find their own
i've also got spinning banned from Leisure and Tourism
Though quite a few of my other teachers are fine with it
some even want me to teach them
one of my science teachers already knows TA from his University days
i'm trying to teach him Twisted Sonic Bust
But he doesn't grasp the concept that twisted sonic and is it Rev Bak or IA? (i get confuzzled) are meant to be prequisits of the trick but he wants to rush straight into it -
Date: Sat, Oct 6 2007 20:32:18
I've started teaching a lot of people, and given them ComSsa, but none of them have become any good yet. I have hopes for this one guy though, he can solve rubik's cube and stuff, he got a comssa from me like 2 days ago and is now doing TA and Sonic. I know, some people learn backaround after a day, but I think it's going really good for him.

2 girls in my science class tried learning inifnity from me but they still cant do it =P.
and in science class i was too lazy to get a calulatior so i was heres my collateral to my teacher and she was like .......i dont want ur pen as collateral cause it isnt valuble. so i was like of course it is its for spining!!! but she didnt take it. -
Date: Sat, Oct 6 2007 21:11:11
i've taught a few people at work to do TAs and sonics but none of them want to put any time into it.
one person keeps asking me to do ambidextrous TAs - i do my best stuff and he says "yeah that's great now do the thing from the PC world advert" - dammit! >.<
-btw, yeah, there was an advert in the uk recently with a guy doing a TA in each hand.
(hehe, found it on youtube - pc world ad -
Date: Sun, Oct 7 2007 18:53:33
I know!
I was sitting at home one day watching tv
And that advert came on and I was like HOLEH SHIZZLE!
i'm still suspicious because about a week or so before that advert came on i was pen spinning in PC World
They stole it from me!
Woo for Ambidextrosity! -
Date: Sun, Oct 7 2007 19:10:11
NOT A DAMN PERSON! everyone just goes.....wtf is wrong with you kid...my entire highschool hates me for it haha. But when college came around...dude thats friggin awesome. but everyone just goes, *attempts TA once* GOD I CANT do IT!
-
Date: Sun, Oct 7 2007 19:10:29
well, people have asked me how to do X trick. I've shown them. Some say, "wtf, this is too difficult" *drop pen spinning*. XD. About a couple of them continued, and well, can do fundamentals now. About one has gotten more into it, has some advanced variations under her sleeve, like twisted sonic, inverse sonic...
lol, I cant say I have got anyone completely into it. xD. They are still at the outer layer of pen spinning. xD. -
Date: Sun, Oct 7 2007 19:13:49
People say i should do an afterschool pen spinning class
=_=
as if i dont have enough to do afterschool anyway -
Date: Mon, Oct 8 2007 03:48:46
So far, I've only taught two people anything. One of them only knows the TA, and the other knows all fundies and might actually become a real penspinner, he went out and bought bics to make bictories, and soon after bought PDS commsas. A small fraction of people who bother to notice me spinning try it, and think that it is completely impossible for them to learn pen spinning after the first try. Everyone else thinks that they don't have enough time to learn. Psh, as if you can't multitask.

I was going to make a pen spinning club during lunch at school... but my school just HAD to change lunch into both fourth and fifth period, with half of the students with fourth period lunch and half with fifth. Now I can't make one. After school is not something I would want for a pen spinning club. -
Date: Mon, Oct 8 2007 13:29:51
I've taught a number of people how to do some Fundamentals and only one guy is serious enough to go through with all the Fundamentals and some advanced tricks. He even knows how to do Twisted Sonic Bust!
Too bad his Passes suck. -
Date: Mon, Oct 8 2007 13:56:27
Eso..you probably got heaps of people to spin because of ur vid tutorials.

You're talking about me aren't you?

Eh, I thought this thread was for people you taught in real life. And no, Kalcite, not you.

Date: Thu, Oct 11 2007 22:55:01
I've gotten a couple people into it. 2 ofmy friends started making these long as bictory or papermate mods
And the rest attempt a TA and go like WTFUX
And some other guys just randomly come up ask for me pen, and started doing some weird fingerpasses and say OMG DID YOU SEE THAT!?@$??!$! -
Date: Fri, Oct 12 2007 12:28:04
Hehe...during class i spin even if i'm bored and some look at my spinning...a few guys asked me how i do it(around 4 guys)
3 of the guys i tried to teach a simple TA 1 guy tries to do it and he keeps saying "how do you do that!?"of course in a good way...but i told him noone gets it their first few tries so that he wont be discouraged...but the stopped
...one guy only liked my mods(my rsvp sub and bictory)he asked how i do it i give him a simple explanation...(the next day he comes to me with two ballpens taped together..TAPED TOGETHER!!!NOT ON IT'S ENDS!!!BESIDE EACH OTHERS END!!!)
And the fourth guy asked how i do charge...i showed him the basic motion...and a sucky explanation on how to/I do it...and even during class times he tries to do it...and then i showed him how it feels doing it(i put the pen on his hands and moved it myself)and then he got it!!!although he got charge reverse which wasn't what i intended...he was pretty much satisfied with a charge so i don't see him walking close to me and asking how to do the XXXXX trick in the next moths we're gonna remain classmates...
I don't really consider it cause I got him to do a trick he likes but not into a penspinner... -

Cause the sound of pens on the floor can get annoying -

I saw a kid I knew do a thumbaround, and I noticed how awesome he felt because he could do it, so I took him under my wing and taught him more.
Now, he's always bugging me to teach him new tricks, so I slowly introduce him to new things after he learns the last thing I taught him and gets it down.
He can do a TA, Sonic, Twisted Sonic, and is started to combo off the Twisted Sonic like I always do.
My disciple ^.^
Also, he's always into my mods that I make... which are always my own personal engineering. Haven't made anything like an RSVP MX, I just use what I have. I've got a 10 inch mechanical pencil that works, and I might give it to him some time. Who knows...
Oh yeah... I got a teacher doing it ^.^ -
Date: Wed, Oct 17 2007 20:23:07
3 serious ones (2 can do bakfall and other advanced tricks)
over 250 people i've taught at least 1 fundamental
and i dont know how my people have learned from my tuts online -
Date: Wed, Oct 17 2007 20:29:24
One of my friends got interested when he saw me spin. I taught him the fundamentals and a few other tricks. He was progressing nicely and I told him how to find the forum(ucpsb v2) but he never signed up. He would ask me for my mods and one time he made a mod and gave it to me. I have not seen him in a long time. I keep watch on the new members area to see if he finds this board and registers.

Date: Fri, Oct 19 2007 22:49:59
I have a sceince teacher into it
So it's now un-banned from Science =D -
Date: Tue, Oct 30 2007 13:31:31
this guy in my class and he usually sits next to me and when i pull out my pens he just grabs one and trys to do a TA and it just gets kinda annoying. theres this other guy aswell that just snatches one and just does a rev pass 23 - 12 and says " O YA A 180 i bet u cant do a 720" - he broke the tip of my pen once when he snatched it
GRRR
but still no one is very serious about it......... -
Date: Tue, Oct 30 2007 19:30:23
Taught one guy a TA and charge, and then he stopped, and another charge. I made them MX's with HGR's too.

I got my cousin into doing the infinity and now he's starting to learn the sonic as well.

Date: Sun, Nov 11 2007 05:40:13
i didnt get people into it they juss stare at my sonics and saying wtf
-
Date: Sun, Nov 11 2007 22:07:20
Hmmm. Most of my friends try it a couple times and then give up. Then when they see me spin my pen a couple days later, they try again...and then give up. It's a vicious cycle....

I'm a civil servant (it's an alternative for military service here), and all civil servants have to go through one month of 'training', so to speak, before actually moving into the working phase. The 'training' consists of lectures, mainly. And there are quite a few per day.
I was lucky enough to have my pen with me when the time came for me to step into service, so most of the lectures went pleasurably. The speakers wouldn't mind (actually, nobody ever has), since I paid attention and all.
Then, when other people noticed me spinning, they wanted to learn as well. I taught them, of course, and after that there was like 8 of us in the back of the classes spinning our pens around. The problem was that I was the only good one - and by good I mean not dropping my pen all the time. Everybody wanted to learn a thumbaround, even though I politely tried to teach them sonics. -
Date: Fri, Nov 16 2007 02:29:27
I actually got a couple of my friends and my brother start pen spinning. They are really into it now and some them started making mods.
We're thinking of making a X-Mas collab ahaha. xD -
Date: Fri, Nov 16 2007 02:46:08
One eprson i knew got tnto it a little bit, joined on these boards and he left
If he learned the sonic, im sure he would've became pro
