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 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.

    ahh..i see what you mean..but if people make a pen just for spinning, that would be a stick..not a pen. biggrin.gif. 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.

    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. mellow.gif

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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"... dry.gif thats what has been happening to almost anything that was created nowsays... and futuredays

  15. patrick
    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...

  16. Sfsr
    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 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.

    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.

    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

  22. Sfsr
    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 wink.gif

  23. Da Artist
    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...

  24. Mats
    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' tongue.gif

    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.

  25. Tim
    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 tongue.gif

    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.

    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.

  32. DespairFactor17
    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..

    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

    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 XD

    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.

    Pens will stop being writing instruments, have as sole purpose to be spun, and people will stop bitching about buying pens to spin them instead of to write with them.

    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"

    I think PS will be big around my area in about a year, because I do my best to spin around people who don't know about it and to teach them about it. The best part is that I have rep so that people actually listen to me haha.
    I basically advertise PS around my area.

    Eventually, there wont be much tricks to invent, which may lead to spamming of tricks and eventually look dull. Pen modifications may increase by the looks of the improvement.

    Somehow I see that UPSB may close and we may have to go back to UCPSB happyy.gif

    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 biggrin.gif

    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 biggrin.gif

    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)

    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....

    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.

    like something you download into your pen. then turn it on and set it to what mod you want.


    if that was so, they would probably figure out a way to charge us per download.... >=( unless we have software in the future like penster, penwire, PenTorrent, etc. =X(=D)!!! mentioning mod selection- there may even be a pen mechanism for distributing weight through different parts/points of the pen. gravity amplifier?

    Knowing that it may sound indiscreet――


    A person with digital malformation could start penspinning and s/he could develop some tricks or combos in the use of his/her own situation; some of them would be for his/her exclusive use, nontheless, some of them may be available for normal spinners, which might be so difficult for normal spinners to develop or learn.

    can you clarify?
    thats kinda hard to understand.
    so youre saying a person can invent/develop tricks and not share?
    so it might be difficult to learn them?

    hehe, digital pen modding...

    present: "Hey guys, can someone link me to kuzu mod tutorial?"



    future: "Hey guys, can someone link me to kuzu mod download?"

    i roflmao...


    but on a serious note, i believe everyone knows about the Spinz line. things like this make penspinning another "techdeck" hobby and kids would collect all the pens to be the coolest kid in school and then the popularity would drop. later on being seen penspinning would make you look like "one of those losers who used to spin pens" when in fact you're just spinning "normally (i cant find a better way to put it, sorry).

    yeah, spinz kinda comercialised it too much, and aimed it for a younger audience
    now it just resembles a tech deck....

    i bring modded pens to school (its a public school, they dont mind(
    and i've brought modded pens into shops, even though i know thats not what you meant

    but i would rather like a place like penwish where you can get normal pens thats not the internet
    actually, no i dont, the fun in modding is going to find the pens
    actually, i do enjoy all the pens being in the same place, kinda like the pen isle in officeworks but its the whole shop

    was there a point to that post???

    i start getting depressed....but i shouldnt be
    sometime in the future, kids will probably have these chips in their brain (if allowed)
    and itll tell their fingers how to move and when so they can perform tricks/combos
    thatll defeat the purpose of spinning obviously
    but that prolly wont happen for a while and i prolly would be doing something other than psing
    and it might not happen at all

    wow... ur really a pessimist aren't you
    but yeah... but i dont think science will do that to us
    well, atleast our generation
    theres a line between what makes us human and what makes us robot
    ur idea i think crosses this line, so i dont see it happening

    i would rather fear pen spinning becoming more commercialised, and go through phases, like yugioh, beyblades etc. etc.
    but if that happens, i guess they'll look back at the old skool spinners
    and possibly complain that the current form of pen spinning is way too commercialised and only liked by 10 year old kids
    .... that somehow reminds me of hip hop....

    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
    maybe itll go through that phase but thats like saying
    beatboxing will be old fashioned sometime lol

    but if spinz increase popularity, the only way they'll (new spinners) will know how to spin maybe with just the spinz pens
    and the "old" modded out of ordinary pens becomes uncool
    if that happens, it will turn out like the phasing of yugioh

    but since ps wasn't concieved to be commercial, i'm guessing there'll be underground psers going old school style
    never in the limelight, but still continuing on the old school (again like hip hop)

    i really hope it doesn't get to that stage.... at that stage i'm thinking that upsb has to be abandoned, and maybe use some old unknown board.... or just lock the boards to new commers, unless its through invitation... and kick out any newbies that come in
    wow, i'm planning everything (make me a mod god damn you! XD)

    LOL u sound like a real pessimist too man

    penspinning will be crazy

    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

    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.


    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

    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. laugh.gif that would be awesome!
