Team Yogurt Revolution / Goal Setting for Pen Spinning?

    Date: Sun, Dec 21 2008 04:46:44

    What do you think? If we set a certain goal to accomplish, obviously our motivation being something as simple as.. to get better in upsb or.. to show off or.. etc. i find goal setting really useful when it comes to beating old records, ex. midbak 1.5, recently beat my old record of 15 and got 21 ^^ but yea..

    ideas that can develop from this can be like..

    daily goals, this may get a little extreme since i doubt everyone would report every day or something like that but it is helpful...
    weekly goals, report every week on how much improvement has gone and such
    monthly goals, report every month to say how much progress you made
    yearly goals, report what you managed to accomplish over the past year

    and most important of all, what you want to improve on is what goal setting is all about. gotta remember that ^^

    what do you guys think? i would prefer positive comments.. but negative if necessary.. which i doubt they are ever necessary.. but anyways

    this topic appears to be ocnfusing everyone... well happy.gif please excuse me for using you as an example xD

    for instance you want t olearn rev sonic and bakfall. set a certain time of when you get it down. lets say... december 28th. you can try a everyday reporting here or somewhere saying how much progress you made (possible feedback as well) and hopefully by then you will have mastered rev sonic and bakfall ^^ if it's confusing... nvm but yea..

  13. octan3
    Date: Sun, Dec 21 2008 23:08:37

    if said pro looks entertaining from a person who is totally unfamiliar of pen spinning, and after seeing said pro spin, they become inspired to try pen spinning themself

    which can be aneone. i mean, i consider one of my friends that can do just TA pro because he caused other ppl to try lol.

    I can't rig the results yet because I don't have full moderating powers. sad.gif

    Besides, I don't rig polls. I prefer honest public opinions. It won't be necessary anyways. Everyone's going to outvote that one "Yes" that will come from Fall. wink.gif

    Conveniently, I changed the "Yes" and "No" around so you're still outvoted 10000001 to 3. hahahah.gif xd.gif

    And Fall, prepare to undergo a barrage of questions when we have another mini-gathering at aZnspNNer94's house tomorrow. wink.gif

    Okay, apart from messing with poll results, *cough* *cough* your reasoning doesn't make sense to me. You're stepping down as team leader, just because you don't think you're doing a good job?

    And even if you wanted to resign, YOU MADE THE TEAM!!! Don't you want to remain part of the team that you created? And if you're really going to replace me as team leader, why not make yourself Co-Leader? You should have some leadership role in this team.

    How are you going to NOT step down from a leadership role if you don't remain Leader/Co-Leader.

    Screw the poll; you're just going to keep rigging it.

  24. Fall
    Date: Mon, Dec 22 2008 23:51:09

    The leader/co-leader are visible positions. However, there are people that can help move the team forward without being one of them, namely (people I won't name).

    2) cont shadow more than 3 times by end of jan
    3) 50% chance to do FL TA rev 1.5-2.0
    4) practice inverse shadow/palmspin.

    idk what 3) is supposed to be. is it:

    FL TA Rev 2.0 = Double TA Rev?
    FL TA Rev 1.5 = FL TS Rev 1.5?

  32. Glamouraz
    Date: Sat, Dec 27 2008 14:30:30

    um.. FL TS rev 1.5 lol sorry. 2.0 is the same but 2 revs instead of 1.5.

    And im still stuck at cont shadow 3x at max. i just cant do the fourth one.

    The main idea is to bring your hand to the back of the pen for every shadow (Below of COG of COP). Do that and you'll get it right.

    I can do infinity if I want on 12-12.

    Just a question of curiosity for everyone here including team leaders, what is the purpose of this team? What do we want to gain? We can edit this post when we have an answer. We should have some clear goal before we confirm ourselves as a team.

    The motive of teams is almost the same everywhere. For personal satisfaction of leader for owning a team (no matter how much they dont show it), motivating the team to get better so as to become one of the best which indirectly means to motivate the spinners to become better.

    i see.. maybe.. we could see.. farther up ahead? i mean.. as a team we can make great impact you know.. internet is crazy and pen spinning can spread really easily. so if this is just a chill and relax team i understand but if we're not we should get serious about our movement as a team.

    For Bakfall, practice the individual components first. Then, go back and try to link it together. And when you do, don't try to do it all together at once. Once you've got that down, practice IndexBak to Midbak, Midbak to Ringbak, Ringbak to Pinky back individually and then try to put it all together.

    This is how I learned it, and I went from a 0.5/10 success rate to a 9/10 success rate in just three weeks.

    Good luck! thumb.gif

    Oh and i got bakfall in 2-3 weeks too happy.gif Did nothing but practice all day. And I tried to beat my own record. Everyday, I sat down and practiced bakfall and nothing else. (no spinning, doing combos. only bakfalls) I counted how many I could do in a day and my goal for the next day was to beat my previous record from the day before. I went up to like 40-50 bakfalls per day and then i decided to stop lol..

    eh it's hard for me to judge what i can or can't do cuz i really like to use mods like ballsign or metallic comssa, but when i use kt, like everything becomes easier again - i can do like cont midbak 1.5 5 times consistently (3 times on met. comssa) or like x10 bust on kt and only 3-4 on comssa. so i guess ppl should also think about pen mods when they say that they learn...wait the skill level of this team is mostly low so nvm sleep(1).gif

    yeh but i think i wanna learn ummm...cont bust up to x5 on met. comssa and x13 on kt, up to x5 midbak 1.5 on met. comssa and at least x7 on kt, learn inverse shadow (yeh i have no idea why i never learned that), master cont (i dont know what the name of this trick is) handaround > fl ta rev > palmspin, and master twisted sonic bust to weird hybrid. probably all by end of january dry.gif

    verse my friend in a ps battle in august
    complete several battles before hand
    master bakfall by august (hopefully earlier, say may)
    double bust bu may as well
    smoothe up my combos (that goes along with the pre-battles)
    win a pre-battle
    ... against a respectable opponent
    ..... by that i mean equally skilled as me
    and not n00b killing

    more goals!:
    smoothe LH spinning (simple stuff)- end of april
    there was somehting else i thought of while i was spinning in the park..... it was really windy, so it made spinning... rather interesting, dont know whether it was easier or harder....
    i'll remember it by later

    yet again edit
    cont. ext ta - end of march

    and so, to summarise:
    1. tw sonic bust>bak rev = end of may
    2. bakfall = end of may
    3. simple LH combo = end of april
    4. cont ext ta = end of march

    for the long term goal of:
    vs (and hopefully beating) my friend in a battle on my/our vague 1 year anniversary of spinning

  98. midnight_xhris
    Date: Sun, Mar 1 2009 09:41:25

    bakfall by apr.1
    twisted sonic double bust (then multiple busts) mar. 20
    successful palm spins. that can be summoned everytime i try to overkill my friend in battles. apr.1
    lefty fundamentals all slots apr.1
    triple TA. mar. 10
    ring around>mid around>index around>TA(around rise?) mar 15.

    i think that should be enough time.

    Set a date closer. That encourages you to practice harder to get it instead of wasting time by spamming freestyles.

    I can't practise any harder. In school, I hardly have the time to practise(because of retarded teachers who don't allow us to spin in class, thinking that we'll lose concentration or what not).

    And school takes up too much time on average every day. I hardly have the energy/time to practise at home after normal school days. Homework and other personal stuffs like that take up lots of time. So I'm giving myself more time to reach my goal.

    I know I can practise on weekends, but UPSB is so addictive that I spend most of my time reading through the threads than spinning. And I don't spam freestyles xD I rather use the time spamming freestyles to think of good hybrids then make a combo.

    wink.gif Thanks for your advice by the way.
