When you are gonna show off your skills to non-spinners what kind of tricks do you then pick?
What kind of tricks do normally impress non-spinners? -
Date: Sat, Oct 13 2007 05:33:29
Double charge is a surprisingly flashy and simple trick to show to non-penspinners. But honestly, non-ps'ers are impressed by any of the fundamentals.
-

Double TA
Devil's Shadow 34-34 IMO -
Date: Sat, Oct 13 2007 05:48:42
you can do just TA and the non-pser would be like..WOW!
i do sonic rise -
Date: Sat, Oct 13 2007 05:50:30
People seem to enjoy shadows and backarounds a lot.
-
Date: Sat, Oct 13 2007 05:52:47
TA harmonic, sonic rise harmonic, any continuous (especially shadow), neo-sonic ~ fl ta rev, 2p2h and well linked aerials
-

i don't show off to non-psers, sonce most of them cannot appreciated it. for those who know a little about penspinning will ask me if i can do fingerpass smoothly, then i do 2 handed fingerpass.
ususually a thumbspin of more than 6.0 would catch attention, then a bakfall by itself would be impressive to a non-pser. -

When people see me spin in class, it's always the BackArounds they ask me to teach them, so I guess they must be most impressed by these.
-
Date: Sat, Oct 13 2007 10:51:38
this depend son the presentation of the trick as well. Shadow looks a hell of a lot better from the top then it does from the side.
Sonic Rise and twisted sonic bust seem to amaze people, and ta harmonic is really good to non PSer -

Yeah, that's definitely the one I use around non-PSers. Some are attracted to the infinity family too. -
Date: Sat, Oct 13 2007 21:09:52
Twisted Sonic combinations seems to be enjoy by the girls in my classes
Fake double Cont of Fake triple too -
Date: Sat, Oct 13 2007 21:11:33
A half decent TS (2.5+) gets some
for me
cont. fingerarounds are also great -
Date: Sat, Oct 13 2007 21:50:51
When I do a complete bakfall
people like it a lot in my classroom
They also like cont midbak 1.5 when it's done smoothly -
Date: Sat, Oct 13 2007 21:57:47
neosonic 12~>rev fl thumbaround continuous.
-

Wow, you have a tough crowd to please
. People stare uncontrollably when i just perform fundamentals or double charge when im sitting at my desk. And people are beyond amazed by twisted sonic bust -> ext TA lol

Date: Sat, Oct 13 2007 23:39:17
ppl are amazed just by the pens i mod...lol
-
Date: Sat, Oct 13 2007 23:45:49
People are impressed by Cont. TA Harmonics at my school. I think it's because they can actually sort of understand with going on, because with more complex combos with various Twisted Passes, Arounds, and Shadows, etc..., most people can't tell whats going on [even when spinning slowly] and just kind of dismiss it.
-
Date: Sun, Oct 14 2007 02:16:40
I tried BakFall, TA Harmonic, really simple combos(Ex. Twisted Sonic 23-12 -> TA) and I tried to do really complicated combos so they can't really tell what I am doing which really impress them because their like "Wow, how does he do that?" But since it's hard for them to see what I am doing, I tried to add "Wipers", "Infinities" and "Figure 8" to slow it down.
-
Date: Sun, Oct 14 2007 02:24:23
People in my class don't really like the infinity. They all think it's easy and say "I can do that" then hold the pen at the tip and start waving it around. They know that it's different but they still think that it's easy.
-

I get the same response, even when I do a double extended infinity.
I've been practicing TS 2.0 > Palmspin. That really wows them. -

The people in my class do the opposite. They go "How do you do it?" I told them but they can't seem to do it(The pen gets stuck between their index and middle finger)

The thunder charge always gets me some attention
-
Date: Sun, Oct 14 2007 06:00:13
combos that arent really complicated seem to get the best results here. a nice TA harmonic, or fingerpass even gets people staring
-

You win, why did i think of that?
-
Date: Sun, Oct 14 2007 06:28:26
I-sonic..

Rofl some of my friends do that but some other people who are in my class who aren't my friends are like "matt's pro at spinning, show them the infinity."
But the tricks i usually do are bak fall and twisted sonic bust - bak rev -
Date: Sun, Oct 14 2007 10:26:06
If i did show off with a single trick, i'd use cont. shadow still 12-12
-
Date: Sun, Oct 14 2007 14:14:21
Haha. Infinity, for some reason people love it. Because they understand how it works, and quite often end up learning it themselves I guess.
-
Date: Sun, Oct 14 2007 15:24:56
infinities are great..that how i first got into psing..when i saw friend doing infinity..i learnt it straight away..not a hard trick..
-
Date: Sun, Oct 14 2007 17:53:14
If you cant impress them with infinity then surely a thunder infinity will draw more attention. Do it.
-
Date: Sun, Oct 14 2007 18:07:37
My dad saw that vid and he told me to try it...I didn't.
Back on topic, I get attention doing charge in class or on bus. O_o -
Date: Wed, Oct 24 2007 02:44:43
yeah twisted sonic bust, shadow, & infinities seem to get more attention than they deserve for that difficulty level.
-
Date: Wed, Oct 24 2007 03:46:23
None of my friends seems to be impress. Nobody even cares what I am doing
Most of them don't appreciate the art of ps.(I think) -
Date: Wed, Oct 24 2007 04:06:16
keep on at it. don't bother trying to 'impress' them.
but one day, you may get a random comment like: 'eh thats damn cool' all of a sudden. -
Date: Wed, Oct 24 2007 06:12:10
i get some oooo's and awww's when i do fundamentals in class.
like TA harmonic, and sonics, ect.
-
Date: Wed, Oct 24 2007 06:47:55
I just do figure 8 and Sonic harmonic. It's pretty cool
-
Date: Wed, Oct 24 2007 07:02:43
Non-psers? They are not fit to look upon me.
-
Date: Wed, Oct 24 2007 10:34:07
Most people are amazed with the easy tricks, zo I do them, and they do not fail
. Most people are interested and ask me to teach them the TA/sonic/infinity. I think they just get borred and want to waste their time 
just like me -
Date: Wed, Jan 2 2008 02:35:24
sorry to bump
i've taught a friend the thumbaround and he's pretty enthusiastic about it, he practices during class so maybe he'll learn other stuff too. -
Date: Wed, Jan 2 2008 02:48:52
Do the Backfall, that ought to impress a crowd
-

i really can't see how this is even related to the topicQUOTE (NoRice4U @ Jan 1 2008, 09:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Do the Backfall, that ought to impress a crowd
but i can't do it
well, i tend to just do a simple twisted sonic 23-12>ta (or ext ta, now that i'm getting better at this trick)
-
Date: Wed, Jan 2 2008 05:22:48
well we were doing a test once and i did a TA harmonic with a pencil and then everyone around me tried to do it
but i don't try to impress people i just do whatever i want -

Just that he was initially impressed enough by the fundamentals to want to learn the thumbaround. ;)
the post above mine when i posted was talking about teaching the fundamentals after people were impressed, so i mentioned it too. -
Date: Tue, Jan 8 2008 12:46:54
Did a mini combo , and the teacher and the classmates who saw me spinning stared at me , as if I was an alien.
Anyway,I did a Inverse Twisted Sonic 34 - 23 > Inverse Sonic 23 - 12 > NeoSonic 12 - TF > FL TA rev > Bakfall > K4LC
They then asked me what the heck did I do with my pen.
I said : " The pen is haunted!!Help!The ghost is spinning the pen around my fingers!!AHH!! HELP!!"
I meant that as a joke,and they took it and screamed like hell.
When I told them it was just a joke,they were really mad at me.
-

Well... I know most of my friends asked how to do a TA since its the most basic trick you learn and also the one you usually start with.
I have a couple of them who can do it.
I think that a TA is realy the best one to do as it seems simple and yet complex to the non-spinner.
When I realy want to impress I do some combo's like sonic rise->shadow 12-12->bak and so on.. (I'm only a beginner) -
Date: Thu, Jan 10 2008 02:53:59
Hmm my classmates really like my FingerPass. I must admit, it's a relatively easy trick that looks quite impressive when done fast.
-
Date: Thu, Jan 10 2008 04:10:00
Yea people in my class seem to be contempt with stuff like a Shadow 2.0 or Bak 1.5. But I usually start out with a sonic rise or something, possibly even Twisted Sonic Bust. But then again the actual pen itself seems to amaze them.
-
Date: Thu, Jan 10 2008 18:08:50
my classmates like charge and double charge. and they always think they can do it, so they start playing with pen and ask me how did i do it
-
Date: Sun, Jan 13 2008 01:01:44
I just do TA harmonic and differents infinities people ask me how I do it...
-
Date: Sun, Jan 13 2008 21:07:36
i sometimes think that they like fundamentals more than advanced tricks 'cause they think they can do it.
-
Date: Fri, Jan 18 2008 06:14:19
I agree with minche
but everyone at my school like
twisted sonic bust and shadow.
multiple spin baks are always a
crowd pleaser. ha
