Philosophy / The future of penspinning
How will it be in 10, 50, 100 years?

What do you think?
Personally, I think discussions about how to name tricks and how to breakdown videos will end. There will be fewer used mods, they will be more adapted to spinning, only used for penspinning, and sold in different shops. Real life tourneys.
That's the stuff I can think of atm ^^ -

i don't get why it'll end..QUOTEThere will be fewer used mods they will be more adapted to spinning, only used for penspinning, and sold in different shops.
i think the opposite will happen. i think more mods will be used..
i don't think there will be much difference..just the styles and there will be few new tricks..
more people probably will be on tv more often, still..don't i think there will be any live tournaments.. -

Say in 100 years.
People won't mod pens themselves anymore, what wwe spin won't even be pens. We will spin penspinning pens, purely produced to spin. They will be solid, no loose parts, etc. The trick- and breakdowndiscussions won't end completely, but will become less frequent once PSing get's bigger, tourneys get more usual, and strict rules have to be set. -
Date: Mon, Oct 8 2007 16:03:38
ahh..i see what you mean..but if people make a pen just for spinning, that would be a stick..not a pen. . and even if pen for spinning is made, people still will mod it to fit their preferences. Take cars for example, people sell cars but still some people modify the car to make it faster or make it look cooler. i know they probably won't be spinning rsvps or comssas but i reckon in 100years people will have other pens to mod. and honestly, where the fun in psing if you don't mod ur own pen?

It could be like skateboarding, you buy the parts and then assemble the pen yourself.
Body, tips, grips. The pens will all be simmilar, but still a tad different. Like in weigth, appearance, grip length, etc. And yeah, we would be spinning sticks, but they would be called spinning pens.
I mean, skateboards aren't really "boards", yet they're called that. -
Date: Mon, Oct 8 2007 21:27:51
I really don't think pen spinning will progress that much. Sure more people will spin and have more tv appearences but I doubt any company would produce a pen especially made for spinning. Sure there might be more stores like penwish and jetpens but I seriously doubt there'll be something like the Pentel custom pen spinning pen or anything of the sort. Sure there could be tournaments but being organized is not very likely.

My educated guess would be that in the future, near and far, pen spinning will relatively be the same. It may have more recognition as a "valid" hobby in the general public's eye, but that doesn't mean everybody will start doing it. I'm thinking that pen spinning will probably achieve the same level as perhaps yo-yo. I believe that cup stacking is larger than yo-yo, and pen spinning probably won't reach that height, IMO.
This doesn't seem like philosophy either. -
Date: Mon, Oct 8 2007 21:50:59
One day pen spinning will be as big as toss juggling!
No one on the UPSB seems to know what philosophy is... -

Some interesting things that people predicted in there.
Hmm, maybe some brilliant individual will start a new style, that will be as popular as korean style. Hopefully, we'd get some more video coverage, and people won't look down at it. -
Date: Tue, Oct 9 2007 08:48:28QUOTE4. UPSB v3 will open. (just kidding)
Haha xD
And sure, whine about this thread being in this section. I see this secion as a discussion forum for everything about PSing that is quite unknown. Is your "Video Tutorial" thread any philosophy, Eso? Or Mats thread about "Who has more control"? Please, we might as well just remove this forum section...
I hope for the future of penspinning. Not everyone skatebaords, but I doubt there is someone who does not know what it is. It is everywhere and easily accesible. And we don't need TV-appearance to spread our art. Not many of the 1300 students at my school have managed to avoid my penspinning. A score of them have learned from me how to do atleast some tricks, like TA, Infinity and Fingerpass. Several are learning to do more tricks, have gotten some pens from me, and I know that many others also want to learn. I just haven't had time for everyone yet. -
Date: Tue, Oct 9 2007 13:39:48
Actually yes, my thread is philosophical in nature.
Taking the trends we see in other hobbies, such as yo-yo, cubing, and even pizza dough manipulation, there's always some kind of company sponsoring the tournaments. If spinners around the world collectively wanted to participate in spinning competitions, we'd need some kind of company to back it up.
As far as style is concerned, I believe the number of individualistic styles will rise. By that, I mean styles which are unique to the spinner, such as bonkura's style was his own. -
Date: Tue, Oct 9 2007 18:54:16
I think in 100 years there won't be any pens anymore human will only use computers or similar things.
PenSpinning could die or people will spin other things. -
Date: Wed, Oct 10 2007 05:48:57
i think in 100 years robots will spin their pen better than humans..
-
Date: Wed, Oct 10 2007 07:29:31
in the future i see this...
a comercial where it shows a person writing with a pen, then they show this kid spinning it, then they start saying "if you call now, not only you will get the pen, but also a tutorial" and at the end "not only one pen... but 2 pens for a payment of $19.99"... thats what has been happening to almost anything that was created nowsays... and futuredays -
Date: Wed, Oct 17 2007 07:18:23
hmm... maybe there will be a "commercial period" - I remember the yoyo-boom where you could get everywhere yoyos or yu-gi-o-boom where just everyone was playing that game. but then it decreased and today yoyo is again an insider-sport. yes, there are live tournements but I think because of the yoyo-boom there are also more people who persevered the disappearance of yoyoing. and the ones who are left are in most cases pros who just loooooove their sport.
So maybe with penspinning something similar will happen but the bigger part of people will stop again. I can see that with friends. I think there isn't a person I didn't show the TA to but there is just one left who does it still. and he isn't rly interested in PS, he's just bored in school xD .
/e: there is perhaps a little chance that it will end up like in korea where very much people are psing... -
Date: Wed, Oct 17 2007 07:29:30
I don't think TV exposure and booms are the way forward. There was a commercial with yoyoing in not so long ago here in Sweden, but yet I've never seen anyone here yoyo anything seriously irl. Teaching people you know is how I think we can get more people into it. Within a year I should be able to have recruited at least 5 active members to UPSB. Imagine if everyone would be able to do that, our numbers would increase quite rapidly.
To more easily recruit members, we might need some kind of exposure to let people know such a thing as penspinning exists though, then show and teach them how to do it irl. -
Date: Wed, Oct 17 2007 07:55:00
eveyone in my class knows penspinning exists
-
Date: Wed, Oct 17 2007 10:14:00
almost everyone in my school knows that penspinning exist. when i walk in to, say... the school library and see people who i sort of know, they will be like 'look! penspinner.'
but no one is really interested in learning, as they claim it's too hard. i've managed to 'conscript' 2 guys. one who is quite serious, but hasn't joined any forum yet.
another was very serious for awhile, even joined UCPSB. but has stopped spinning already. what a pity. he was quite good too.
some of his work.
His 'Intro' Combo on UCPSB
what a waste eh? can't believe people can give up so easily. -

His 'Intro' Combo on UCPSB
what a waste eh? can't believe people can give up so easily.
I remember that guy, I read his intro thread, apparently he only had one take on all those combos or something. Nobody really wants me to teach them at my school, everyone's just like 'how do you do that', but if I really explain to them how hard it is to do 'that' they don't care, and show no more interest. There's also people that are naturally show-offs. And they're always like 'how do you do that' and try to imitate by doing something that's kind of like a pass, except they always drop it (it's different every time). When they would only want to learn it to show off. And some people may say that that's just what I think, but I know them, and they are the kind of people who would think that it's really nerdy.
One of my friends who already knew the thumbaround I started to kinda teach. I showed him a few videos on the web and stuff and he seems to kinda like it. And I tried to teach him the sonic. But I'm not sure if he really wants to get into it. -

-
Date: Thu, Oct 25 2007 18:25:14
i think in a few years people will get more lazy and not mod pens but will want them premodded and be able to buy them at a shop premade
-
Date: Thu, Oct 25 2007 19:05:04
Look what's happening in Japan, pre-made "mods" are already being sold in certain toy-shops. My prediction came true
-
Date: Thu, Oct 25 2007 20:30:06
I think pen spinning will be like cards. Cards aren't used for games. Now more and more people are using them for magic, like those Ghost deck and Black Tiger Deck. I think they will be considered as toys... It might be a pen or a plastic rod that says something in the middle with weights at the end. We might have to buy "accesories(?)" like weights and inserts and stuff. We have to make pen spinning new through out the years before it gets into an unoriginal marketing plan...
-
Date: Thu, Oct 25 2007 21:03:09
Cards were originally made for games and now they are used more often for magic. Pens were originally made for writing but will be used more often for spinning one day? Somehow I don't think so my friend. Also, I know a lot, and I mean, a lot of people who play games with cards, but zero who do magic with them.
Sfsr - You knew about that before you posted your 'prediction'
I think we will see a market for selling spinning pens, though it will always be a small specialist one. In a way I think that's a shame, I kinda like the way pen spinners trade with each other, and that will surely decrease as commercialism (is that a word?) in pen spinning increases. -
Date: Fri, Oct 26 2007 09:51:54
That's only because penspinning has had so much tv coverage in Japan. When I win WT , it will be like that in Australia
P.S, when that happens, we will be remembered as the people that did it before it was cool. -

When an Aussie wins the WT, there will only be two people left on Earth. An Australian pen spinner, and someone else (who would probably have to have no arms) to declare him the world champion. -
Date: Fri, Oct 26 2007 19:34:04
Actually I "predicted it" 4 days before I found out such pens were already being sold in Japan

me and gwobbles were talking about a penspinning academy, and come to think of it, far enough into the future it could happen. however i think it would be wrong to make people pay to learn to PS.
EDIT: after reading everything on this page i realised that in the future people will stop using pens for writing, everything will be on computer. it's already happening, kids at school using lap tops to take notes in class. so PS-ing wll be the only purpose for a pens existance

I think you guys are thinking too liberally, you see, this forum and others like it are the real core of pen-spinning. We can make it what we want it too be because even this board comprises are large portion of the skilled spinners out there. I think we should make it what we want it to be and not "philosophize" about it.
-
Date: Thu, Dec 6 2007 02:39:08
i think that in about 30 years penspinning will be able to be an official occupation and tourneys will be in real life. maybe even penspinning teams? doubt it, but maybe
also there will probably be a company that makes pens especially for spinning. -

The future of penspinning:
Bored physicists could develop 'Penspinology'. They could start to study the physics of penspinning, say, how we shold do if we would like to make our pens spin even more and for a long time, like nhk_9.
And they could draw some theories. For example, they could advance a theory about the limit of the number of spins by a push, a correlation between the number of spins and the force of push, or some physically proper ways to do some difficult tricks or combs.
They could make great advances in penspinning.
I don't know who'd like to support them though.. -
Date: Sat, Jan 5 2008 17:03:48
i doubt that physicists will conduct actual research on penspinning
they wont' make any money and wont' get that much recognition
plus, pen spinning is a hobby, and will always be...it wont' become as "official" (best word that i can find) as we would all wish it to be...unfortunately -
Date: Sun, Jan 6 2008 00:21:14
You make that sound so final, yet neither you nor any of us have any idea of what the future might bring.

Date: Thu, Jan 10 2008 05:54:43
Lol....pens made just for pen spinning....k4s would be rich
==================================================================
I think with the expansion of computers (which is obviously going fast), and the necesity this hobby has on computers ~_~ pen spinning will grow farther then eso said, but beating out the jugglers might be hard XDQUOTEi doubt that physicists will conduct actual research on penspinning

meh, i agree that it will remain a hobby but It certainly has grown fast considering it became "reasonably well known" 7(?) years ago -

Lol, there would be more tricks which means more variety which means more unique ness and therefore everybody can show off using their own hardcore tricks.
-
Date: Sun, Apr 20 2008 17:16:09
I just think that Penspinning will only grow at the rate it is now, maybe faster if there is just a sudden burst of people out of nowhere flooding PS forums or something but i doubt it. there will be more people into it, and more mods will be invented. that's all.

Pretty doubtful... More tricks being "discovered" would be a product of there being more penspinners, so that wouldn't leave people with more tricks that are used by only them. -

Date: Fri, Jun 6 2008 12:26:30
I think a larger panel of styles will develop, always in quality and in quantity. Related to the meaning of "style", I think we will not find new tricks, but ways of doing them to makes them look better.
It is also possible, when seeing Alan spinning, that future spin will not be chains of tricks, but more a continuous movement, wothout real possiblility of dividing it into single "tricks" -

maybe in the future pen spinning will be rename into spinning, and people will be using special rods designed for spinning instead of pen
and i dont think that pen spinning will not shine in the future, basketball is nothing but a children game 117 years ago and now theres a court everywhere, and pen spinning is progressing rather fast. 150 years later every student will be spinning uring classes -

imposseeebluh
masters of pen spinning will be so old that they will shrivel into prunes and quit, with tracks and videos that will inspire new pen spinners.
the cycle continues. new people don't know enough about penspinning to see the same tricks over and over again, so its safeeee. -

I think pen spinning will grow to a point where there are live tourneys but soon, many of the pen spinners we know today will 'retire'.
At that point, the general skill level of active spinners will go down and many tricks and mods will be lost to the general community.
After maybe a couple decades, the 1st generation pen spinners will teach younger people to spin and pen spinning will revive with 2nd generation spinners who spin with greater skill than today's spinners. -

Maybe if eriror sign his name on his msxa, it could sell a bomb when pen spinning became popular, cuz at that time he would be counted as a legend in pen spinning and of course, at that time there is also no way he could be alive and rsvp should be discontinued. so the one and only discontinued pen which eriror used and with is signature pen would fetch a good price

I'm starting to see penspinning like I see playing guitar, you will always have your greats who inspire. There maybe just as many ways to spin a pen as there are to play a guitar things will keep evolving there may not be new tricks but there defiantly will be someone who just breaks the barrier. Yea that post sounded a lot better in my head

the hobby or sport w/e this is called, I think it will get very large. Everyone can do it, thats what makes it so appealing.
Only downside is that the HARDEST tricks are now becoming the fundamentals. I can physically now say that I know spinners who can Bakfall and triple bust, but have a very hard time trying to do a sonic. -

That would actually be amazing... like instead of "bop it" it says shadow... "twist it" becomes like neobak, etc. And somehow it knows if you fail at the trick. And then it does the little noise... If you've ever used a bop it you know what i'm talking about -

Haha, I actually tried to mod a Nintendo DS stylus into an MX a year back or so.
I think penspinning has got way too many really young people. We need more 17-18-19+ who are willing to actually work for it. There are many younger who also really want to work for it, but you can't achieve as much when you're too young. That's just how things are. I guess we're increasing though? So it'll probably progress slowly. -

as long as there's people out there who enjoy it, it'll still keep going, just like classical music, deer hunting and japanese game shows
someone brought up the topic of styluses, i used my pen to operate the touch screen on my calculator
as i can't be bothered quoting, i wont
i kinda scratched it, because i dropped the pen a couple of times on concrete, but there was a plastic covering over it, so i was safe
as for the spike popularity point, its not exactly a commercial product like beyblades, etc. are, and you can do it when ever
therefore, it will stay atleast in relative popularity
also, students often get bored during class, and will start/keep on psing
as for the commercialisation of the pens, it will inevitably happen, already is with penwish
i dont like the idea of pre-made mods, becuase it takes the fun and creativity out of new mods
most of my modded pens are not from the boards, i just rammed together two pens, hoping they'll stay like that (obviously more sophisticated then that, but it was just that for one pen mod i made)
live tornis may be interesting, except we need someone who has lots of money.... which will inevitably be the pen mod commercialisers
therefore, if you want live tornis, be rich, make a store, and sell mods/mod parts
i'll leave on this note:
a pen spinning asimo, who will defeat eriror, and japan will be the greatest psing nation ever!!!
<=you may notice the australian flag there, and also a pic of tupac, but i assure you, i'm japanese
i'll prove it to you, by writing in japanese (hopefully if this board will let me)

Date: Thu, Dec 11 2008 00:21:45
In my opinion, I think that people will still learn pen spinning, but not as much as the pros. becasue whenever i ps in school, whoever watches me ends up learning atleast 1-2+ tricks. so aslong as someone is really good, they can always inspire the people around them to ps. eventually, they'll start wanting to learn more tricks, and then by time goes on, learn advanced tricks.
for example, i know someone in my school who can do ta, rev. ta, sonic rise, and charge. when he saw me ps in class, he asked me to teach him. so i started to teach him. eventually he got better, and i decided to make him an rsvp mx. so what im trying to say here, is as long as there are people who want to learn, ps will live on forever...as long as there are people to inspire others.
however, in my honest opinion, i think that if you are a pro, and there is someone who can do the fundamental tricks, you should teach them advanced tricks when their ready. because if someone who can do the fundamentals, but doesnt know about ps on the internet (o.O?), they'll stop ps after they get bored of doingt the same thing over and over agian. but if they get better, then they can keep spinning.
Btw, whoever read all the away to the end, thank you for not wasting my efforts xD -

me and my friend had a teaching race, to see who can teach their respective students ts bust and shadow
we both got up to the bust, mine had trouble with the shadow
and i also tried to teach my friend how to ta... didn't go so well
my pens really dont like her
or maybe she just sucks.... bets on the latter
bets on when she'll be able to catch it consistently! any takers??? 2:1 on never XD
i really shouldn't be mean...
and i shouldn't be rambling....
get used to it
anyway, the point is... teaching others will always keep it alive
and also, there'll always be a minority who'll think its retro and keep spinning

I think that penspinning is only beginning, stil... penspinnings been going on for a while so Maybe it will continue, slowly getting larger...
Now that there are manufactured pen spinning pens , Penz gear and spinz I think thats a huge boost to the intrest in pen spinning ( idon't like how its marketed as a toy though...) But because there are so many young people I think that as all of the members of UPSB slowly age, aka all the 12-16 year olds get older we can do more to spread awareness of penspinning. -

eh...i doubt it
penspinning is something you can do easily at home or at school or wherever you are
in contrast, yugioh and beyblade stuff you have to buy all that gear and find someone who does it
penspinning is just you and a pen. you dont have to have 500 pens or really expensive pen
you can just have a pen and thats fine

a safe bakfall 10.0 wouldnt be very special in a combo because if you are spinning for 20 years you can do things like that
i think there will be stuff liek 4 pens 2 hands with really crazy and creative ways of using all the four pens
new awesome styles will be created
people will use different parts of their body coz they mastered all tricks with their hand
all in all the skill level will raise xD -

I think penspinning has got way too many really young people. We need more 17-18-19+ who are willing to actually work for it. There are many younger who also really want to work for it, but you can't achieve as much when you're too young. That's just how things are. I guess we're increasing though? So it'll probably progress slowly.
Your right man, I believe that there should be older people in the forums and who are commited into penspinning. I'm 17 and I mostly practice everyday but I hardly learn new tricks because I don't have a laptop and my phone can't show videos. But I try my best to learn new tricks at my friend's house because he knows more tricks than I do -

Im not really sure about what itll be like in the future, but i am pretty sure it will spread a lot cuzz penspinning hasnt been around for that lonng,
my goal is to probably make my whole city spin (diamond bar, same as pholords). my whole skool has already started to spin but the eight graders suck dick, seventh like me is better
i think penspinning will air more on TV, there will be live tournaments, might even be a country competition (country vs. country)
i also have another side tho, i think penspinning mite stop and less people wud spin and become like yugiyo or pokemon -

Penspinning may get popular and overrated -> emotional people that try to be "individuals" attempt to start something new/revive something old and make it seem "cool"

I guess pen spinning, would be MORE POPULAR. Like, it will be known everywhere. THere will be live tournaments, it will be on TV more, and there will be more brands that are like spinz and penz gear that would be selling pens for spinning. And there will also be A LOT of pen collectors, that collect diferent MOds. that would be awesome!
