General Discussion / When your friend(s) surpass(es) you in PS...

    How do you feel or react? Do you feel sad / happy for him(or her) / agitated / pissed or what?

    For me, I will generally feel kinda sore. So I'll try to learn faster than how fast I normally learn. I know Penspinning is a/an art/hobby but all of us have emotions so... yea, feel free to say what you want here. biggrin.gif

    I don't mind. In fact one of my friends was better even though he started later.

    Hmm... I think we're the same. I do feel the "heat" when my friend get better than me, though he knew some tricks already before we both started PS at the same time.

    ^ I lol'd.

    But none of my friends have surpassed me(they started 1-2months later) and I'm losing motivation to spin atm.. so I want them to get better. =)

    i'm rather pissed off not the fact that someone's better than me (i can accept that) but when people say that i'm worse than i really am, especially when they make fun of me for being (supposedly) worse
    me and my friend both spin, and we're both about the same skill level
    except another friend (he can be quite a dickhead sometimes) used to say (i say used to, because i'm teaching him to spin, and now appreciates my skills) that he was 10 gajillion times better (probably his actual words)

    i'm like that in everything
    i dont mind if someone's better than me, but i hate 2 things:
    1. when i'm made out to be worse than i am
    2. when i'm forced to compete with others (as in "who's better, him or you?"... that will be decided when we actually battle)
    3. when i dont do the best i can do

    heh.. I've tought some buddies of mine to spin and tehy really progressed but when one of them got pretty good, I started training myself.

    I was just thinking to myself, like what the hell bro? I started, I showed you and now you screw me up the ass? fuck man..

    So that's when I started learning new tricks and all. =P

    Xero and I both started penspinning at the same time, but he knows a good deal more tricks than I do at this point and can freestyle way better too... I get motivated at times, but usually my laziness and school work pulls me down and then I can't improve myself. Most of the times though, I'll show that I'm pissed but in fact, i'm just happy that he's improving =\ yeah..quite the opposite from some of you.. -.-''

    I can't really say because none of my friends are better than me yet. Usually, whenever my friends beat me in anything competitive, it depends on how much better they are than me. If they're a little better than me, then I'll try to improve myself. If they're way better than me, then I'll be like, "Damn..."

    Date: Wed, Mar 18 2009 19:17:02

    i have a feeling i will be surpassed sometime soon lol, probably before this summer~ my friend mastered the majority of the fundamentals by himself within.. a month? i wouldn't really mind, since i'm the one who brought him into pen spinning i can take some credit tongue.gif hah jk.

    but good for him, since i value pen spinning much less now it won't be so impactful to me. i guess it all comes down to how you value pen spinning?

    Date: Thu, Mar 19 2009 11:14:13

    i would actually feel kinda happy if i was the one who introduced that person to pen spinning and taught that person some of the basics and stuff,

    i only have friends who do sonic, fingerpass or thumbaround but none of them are eager to learn more... so no i don't have any friends who pen spin in this case xD

    Date: Fri, Mar 20 2009 06:21:05

    it was because of this that i got motivated to penspin to the level i am at right now, but now i don't have much to push me anymore cuz i'm so lazy/busy so i really suck so much more than before now...

    He been PSing for more than a yr.
    Me only like 13 months. Now im better than him.

    Friend: Dude! i did backaround cont. x3!
    Me: Really? i could do backaround cont. x5
    Friend: well.. i could do Double thumbaround.
    Me: uh huh.. i'm able to do quadple thumbaround.

    Outside: yea. man that awesome combo! laugh.gif

    Crap you lar. I'm not sore kay? You didn't surpass me. You learnt at the same as time as me btw. And you already know charge and ta than me when i started so ur better than me when we started. And I do practise a lot at home, maybe not as much as you. And in my opinion ur pencil mod spins as fine as my namae mod. And I dun spin buster cyl much cos i still want to spin other mods. and i wont kill u.
