Saw what I think is PDS 1st the old vid with song by rhapsody. I looked for more pen spinning stuff cause I wanted to learn more but there was hardly any good information. Then a few months later I found UPSBv2.

When my tuition friend was doing a thumb around, I started pestering him to teach me.
And recently I found Eso's tutorial in youtube, so that's when i started pen spinning. -

It was so long ago, I can't even remember anymore...
Naw, I think I came across ilivutar (or something like that) when I was going through some juggling websites, and from there to Pentrix and from there to UPSB V2, or something like that. -

One of my friends knew how to do sonic and all my other friends learned how to also. Then I learned how to do sonic and before we knew it, google showed us the light. But i'm now the only one left who still spins.
-

Seven months ago I saw the "JaPen 1st Collab" and I felt in love with it. I didn't know who of them could be a good spinner but Bonkura impressed me very, very much.
So i began with PS, but I'm still a noob =D -

As a freshman in high school my aspire, (study hall), teacher challenged me to do a thumb around. Of course I fail the first attempt but a few weeks later I've got it. Then I teach myself sonic, charge, & bak rev. Finally I decide to search for pen tricks online and come accross pentix (ucpsb forums weren't up at this time). Four years later I've mastered all the fundamentals and more than a few advanced tricks and am now practicing pretty much all day every day :-)

I saw my friend do ThumbAround Harmonic , then he gave me the web : superhandz.com.... I saw UPSB + PDS 1st and 2nd in that...it made me want to know more about penspinning

Well, I was a yoyoer a few years back, and there were a few penspinners on the yoyo boards. I knew that it existed, but I thought it was just what my brother and I did when we were bored (fingerpass). I never really looked deeper until my orthodontist was explaining something to my dad and started doing thumbarounds every few seconds. It totally blew my mind. I asked him how to do it and he told me to get a desk job. I went home and scoured the interwebs. I found upsbv2 which had just closed, but there was this new board (ucpsbv1) that I checked out, and got a lot of good help. Kept going, and here I am.
I have to say though, when I first saw the pen modding forum I literally laughed out loud. I was just imagining people cutting, gluing, and sanding pens, and it was just funny to me. Well, needless to say, a few weeks later, I wasn't imagining it anymore. -

Asian Tim beat me up and then taught me a TA
-
Date: Sat, Nov 10 2007 16:43:17
I was looking on Instructables for random things to do, and a saw a tutorial on how to do TA and Sonic. I Googled it because I really thought the guy sucked on there and came to UPSB V2. I found Kam's TA tutorial and learned how to do it quite quickly. Then, about a week later, when I learned UPSB V2 was closed, I went to UCPSB and signed up.

For me, it's pretty stupid. In grade 3(I am grade 8 now), I went to this office and I saw some guy doing ThumbAround Harmonic.. Da da da da da.. And I was thinking "How the fuck did he do that?" 3 years later, I went to the library with my sister. She did Thumbaround and I was like "Fuck yo, teach me" She taught me and no I can't do it at that time. So I gave up on that. When I got to grade 7, me and my friend were bored in History class so we took out a pen and I said "Do you know how to do the thing around the thumb?" And he said "Yea, my mom taught me, but I can't really get it yet." So we both started to practice Thumbaround. LALLALALA somedays later, I finally got Thumbaround about 97% of doing it each time. And then, I saw someone doing charge and I also learned charge. Then, I saw those pen spinning collabs on YouTube and decided to be as great as them. So I went to watch all Eso's videos and learned them all. So here I am, learned all the tricks that Eso taught in his videos.

here's my story:
After the One Ring was thrown down the throat of Mt. Doom, it was reforged as the One Pen, I took it and it gave me the power to become the moderator of doom!!!
Also my friend taught me the TA. But 5 years later I realized it wasn't the TA at all!!! It's some weird sidespin. -
Date: Mon, Nov 12 2007 04:28:02
It was last year that opened my eyes to spinning pens. During school, some person was doing a charge. As a layman at the time, I was thinking, "WTF?!?!" and tried to do it on the spot, but failed. xD
A few months later, after learning about Card Flourishing, and XCM, in the Superhandz website, I saw Kam and his video. This also made me go "WTF?!?!" and tried to learn off of the written tutorials in the pentrix site that was given.
A few months after that, in the the Decknique forums, a person by the name of Jonas (You guys might know him) showed us the video that changed me forever.
He show us Bonkura's 2nd solo video.
After that, he inspired me to actually take the time to learn the tricks. I learn through Eso's tutorials (which was very helpful), and the rest is history. xD -

Date: Wed, Nov 14 2007 21:17:47
I saw a random guy doing a thumbaround in class, and was amazed since it was all new to me at the time. I found it incredible that a pen could be controlled in such a way (little did I know..).
Then one other guy whom I knew better taught me the thumbaround, I found Pentix and started learning ta revs and sonics. I 'learned' a fingerpass on my own, during a Swedish class. -
Date: Mon, Nov 26 2007 09:35:43
i first started pen spinning when i saw someone doing the sonic so i decided to try and i did it on my first try
then my dad taught me how to do the thumbaround since i was bored
-
Date: Mon, Nov 26 2007 14:31:13
How I started:
I was real into fingerboarding and on the message board I was addicted to, there was an "other hobbies" section and I saw pen spinning. I clicked on it, was amazed, and there ya go

Eh? why would u ever search about ten is youtube
as for me , i dreamt about pen spinning , the first thing in the morning i mastered thumb around. -
Date: Fri, Feb 22 2008 00:29:58
for me, someone moved to my school from california, and taught me sonic rise/fall harmonic, then my other friend taught me TA, and the one that taught me TA and i got serious, now the one who taught me the sonic tricks is starting to get serious
-
Date: Fri, Feb 22 2008 00:59:34
Well, JC and I both knew how to do the TA before we knew about PSing. We saw that the other person knew it too, and decided to check out more tricks. We first stumbled upon Pentrix and then Eso´s tutorials, and then UPSCB and UPSB.

Date: Fri, Feb 22 2008 02:32:07
It was the beggining of semptember and the 8 grade for me. around the first week of school this kid from 7 grade was doing the thumbaround i decided to try but failed. later that day i went to youtube typed penspinning and the one video that got me into penspinning was called haduris something. from that day on it became my favorite video to watch. then found some website and learned that there was many tricks and finnaly found tutorials. a few weeks later found pentix and then pentrix. searched these forums made some cheap bictories and i still keep practicing..... if only i had a camera to show how much i progressed

This girl across from me in English sophomore year did nothing but spam TA during class. I was fascinated. She tried to teach me, but I got frustrated and gave up.
Then, at the beginning of this year, some kid in my Chem class was doing simple Sonic > TA combos, etc. So I was like "WOAH, CAN YOU TEACH ME?" and he was all "go 2 www.pentrix.com" and I was like "schweet!"
I found a tutorial for TA on Youtube and practiced for an hour and started to get it.
Then I found Eso's tuts and life became much simpler. I had learned a few of them (namely the Twisted Sonic and Infinity) and made a couple of MXs. I came to UPSB looking for inserts, and I eventually made an account here.
Then it's all recent stuff. -

i learned on pentrix for the fundamentals.....then i got serious and joined UPSB
UPSB ftw -
Date: Fri, Feb 22 2008 12:17:10
I watched JEB 1st a long time ago and thought it was crazy and there's no way I can do it...
Some time later while I was watching Death Note I noticed a part where he does sort of full taps, and thought that was a really cool way to spend time in class, so I learned by myself a crappy version of half tap. Seeing how fun it is, I searched for more...First I studied through Hantricks how to do TA, TA Rev, Fake Reverse Middle push("Flick"), and TF pressure Shadow(yeah I know, a bit of rise in difficulty >.> It was also at that point that I fell in love with the Shadow's elegant spin).
Some time later I studied through Pentix how to do a Sonic and later from Pentrix how to do Infinity, from that point I joined UCPSB and watched Eso's tutorials and so on 'till this day. -
Date: Fri, Feb 22 2008 15:40:06
Watched JapEn 1st and Pen Spinning Demonstration video,then I started to make researches on pen spinning,and found Eso's tutorials,and I learnt the fundamentals from his tutorials.
So basically,Eso is like my tutor. XD -

I was looking through his videos and saw Pen Spinning videos, and i saw the summer collab, and went to this site and been here ever since. -

learned TA from my cousin and stumbled to pentrix bout 2 years ago and just kept doing ta until september
-
Date: Sat, Feb 23 2008 06:32:44
Well, the first time I ever came in contact with PSing was back in highschool... around freshman year I think. I remember seeing some guy do a TA and I was intrigued by that, but I forgot all about PSing until maybe 8-9 years later. During my last year at college (5th year
) I heard that my good friend could do a TA and that reminded me of that one guy back in highschool. So I went online and tried to find sites and came across several videos. The very first video I saw was PDS's first collab so that made my eyes pop out.
Then I tried to find some sites that taught how to do these tricks, cause that was my original intention. I came across Pentix, then Pentrix. I learned how to do the TA and Sonic in about one day and spent the next few weeks mastering them. Pretty good for a complete beginner. Once I started spinning, other people around me told me that they also knew how to do the TA.
After maybe 4 weeks or so, I tried looking for forums because I had a hunch that there would be some out there. I came across UPSB but found that it was closed so I search around some more and came across UCPSB. Been here ever since. -

I first foud the Spowash's blog; penspinning.skyblog. The best pen that I found at this verry moment was a Cross luxury pen, wheighing, like, 20 grams but super-slippy and long of about 10 centimeters. Absolutely crappy. I tried the thumbaround, it didn't worked. After, I got to a papetry and I bought many RSVP's. I did verry much fingerpasses, and practicing the sonic and thumbarounds. As I tell in my presentation, I took 2 weeks to master the thumbaround, and maybe a week for the sonic. I begun combos only after 2,5 months of PSing, beacause I just don't know how to chain tricks. After passing on pentrix, I learned that a sonic can be put after a thumbaround.

I've watched some of the vids (like Japens 1st and Pendolsa 1st) for over a year and a half now but didnt think about spinning pens myself. Then along came WT 2007 and I saw Bonkura's 2nd round and was blown away. Just the smoothness and style gave me the push to begin spinning. I got lazy and not until October I decided to start. I learned many things from Scotts tutorials because he ate chips and drank grape juice.

After months of dedication, here I am. -

Here's my story:
About 2 years ago, my japanese teacher was ranting about something completely off-topic and boring, and my friend was pen spinning so I asked him to teach me how to ThumbAround. I borrowed one of his pencil mods, learnt some new tricks, watched Japen 1st and was like... Dayum I wanna be just like sunrise. Didn't manage to get that thumbspin though =P. -
Date: Wed, Apr 2 2008 08:47:44

About 4-5 years ago my uncle taught me the Thumbaround. It wasn't untill recently, I tried to find out if any other tricks existed.
-
Date: Mon, Apr 7 2008 04:31:44
Throughout all of Grade 10, I watched people do charges, and thumbaround, and tried to mimic them with no success.
But it wasn't until I saw Bonkura's 2nd Solo in Decknique,which sparked my interest even further. I saw that later in the topic, Shoeman posted a link on Eso's tutorials. -

Date: Mon, Apr 7 2008 04:53:45
Idk what I was doing but somehow I ran across pentrix and I was like wahahaooo I wanna learn.
I learned most of my tricks just by watching collabs and slowing them down. -
Date: Mon, Apr 7 2008 05:38:32
i saw my teacher spinning in class around early 2006(ta harmonic, but i didnt know what that was before). He thought me ta and ta rev, (still i dunno what that trick is that time) so during that time, i was just doing thumbarounds, and i didnt care about what it was called. and i dont care about PS. then i tried to search pen spinning on youtube around aug. 2007 if there really is such thing. then i saw it. the 1st video i saw was the video "What cool kids do" i was so inspired to PS because of Eriror. so thats my story...ive been PSing for 9 mos now...dont count my 2006 spinning cuz that wasnt official and i dunno whatever the heck pen spinnning was back then

i got interested in it when i was in Tokyo for a year, i saw people do it on the subway and trains.
Since i can barley speak japanese i couldnt really ask any one how to break it down for me.
Once i moved back to the states i found the forums and youtube videos and started to work on it. -

I saw my friend doing thumbarounds last year and had her teach me how to do it.
But I never really bothered to learn anything new until this year. -
Date: Mon, Apr 14 2008 02:36:37
I started at the beginning of this school year. This was my first year of high school. I didn't know anyone that was in my classes, and so I was watching this guy constantly do this weird circular motion with his pen. Then two days later, we sat beside each other, so I asked him what he was doing. He taught me and I could do this weird circular motion within maybe a day. Then the day after we were talking about it, and he said
"I have this friend who can do this constantly!!!"
So I looked into it using google and typing "pen tricks" and found UPSB eventually. btw this circular motion was charge I was soooooo noob -

Well my friend at school was spinning and I thought it was cool and looked up. Learned TA and kept going.

In Junior High, a bunch of people learned to do the charge, but I couldn't, so instead of creating the illusion of spinning, I actually learned to do the fingerpass, but with only three fingers... So, I did that for a while, adding in an infinity when I ran out of room on a pen, and kept with that for a while. In my freshman year of high school, though, I met Dr1v37h38u5 and saw him doing a bunch of tricks, which to me looked crazy. I learned to do the thumb-around and sonic from a different friend, and finally got the fingerpass down with four fingers. I then searched around youtube for videos, found Bonkura's first, and then stumbled upon the wiki for this place, and finally got into it.

I saw Kam's video on Yahoo's main page, and from there on i knew i had to learn it !
-
Date: Thu, Apr 17 2008 15:16:30
I first started with Charge in about... 10th grade, not knowing of "pen spinning". I just did it because it looked cool. I did that for 3 years. Then about a month ago, I was looking up how to do "pinch harmonics" for a guitar. At the bottom of one page it was showing ways on how to strengthen your fingers. One of the ways was "spin a pen". I had to click on it. I ended up on the SuperHandz main page with Kams video. After watching that, I was HOOKED. I also learned that pen spinning is contagious and addicting (like some nightmare cigarettes). I showed a video to my sister, now she is trying to pen spin. She showed a video to my friend, now he's trying it. Pen spinning is great...

Pendolsa 1st collab + Google + the new religion of Zomboism and Kamism (Lol, just kidding) + an old RSVP found in the back of a drawer + the question of "Where the heck do you buy an RSVP MX?", and you got my intro to penspinning
-
Date: Mon, Apr 21 2008 04:30:12
Well my first witness of pen spinning was back in 5th grade...there was this site that had all kinds of stuff on it and videos that used to be really popular...but i forgot what its called...i dunno if anyone even goes to it anymore
w/e tehy had PDS 1st collab on there (obviously i didnt kno it was called that)
and i thought that it was just something ppl did hen they were bored and they knew how to do everything because tehy figured it out cuz tehy were bored
2 years later...
I found out that tehre was a huge community for pen spinning and even tutorials for a million tricks
i found a tutorial on how to spin a pen around your thumb..
it took me a week..taht was back in december...2007
after learning that i realized taht anything is possible through practice..see before i had heard the saying "practice makes perfect" but nothing i had done in life before got better through practice...i used to think "practice" was just something that white people encouraged tehir kids to do..
and then i realiuzed that if you practice u can do anything you plan to accomplish...so on december 26th i looked up a tut for the infinity cuz it looked crazy to me when i saw it in a video...i mastered it taht day...it was immediately my fav trick (out of the two i knew lol)
..then in jan 2008..i decided taht my goal is to become like the people in the PDS collab..
and yeah..so i rpetty much started to spin seriously in jan 2008 -
Date: Mon, Apr 21 2008 04:45:22

Anyways, I started to pen spin last summer because I saw Bonkura's second solo and I thouhgt it was really cool. Then when he died, I wanted to dedicate more of my life to pen spinning for him. -
Date: Tue, Apr 29 2008 21:42:45

I was at work, and insanely bored so i did a search for how to make Modular oragami polyhedra balls....somehow i stumbled across a site that showed how to do a thumbaround with a pencil. i got really good at it and i searched it on youtube and found about ten billion other tricks that i could learn. I was using regular blue papermate capped ballpoint stick pens and had a really hard time doing any tricks with them, then i found the pentix site and learned about RSVP's. From then on its been pure love.

I'm quite ADHD, drive my parents, my wife, and her parents crazy by tapping and fidgeting. Got a thought a couple years ago about pen spinning, so I jumped online and found Pentix. Learned about RSVP v1, TA and Charge, but only looked at it for about 10 min, then got distracted and forgot about it. Just the other day, I'm shopping with my wife in Wal-Mart and lo and behold, specialized spinning pens!!!! Yep, Spinz had just hit the shelves, and I remembered my brief visit to Pentix, so I got the Zero to start learning. Learned the fundamentals that come with the Zero in, like, 2 days and decided to look for more info. Jumped on line and found UPSB and am now hooked. Made my 1st BICtory and now use it 10x more than the Zero. Zero is alright, but I can't do a charge to save my life with it. BICtory is easier but I still have a hard time. So that's me...

Stumbled across the JaPen video while browsing a website. Didn't think much of it at the time, but after a few days I decided to learn more about it. One thing led to another.
However, I absolutely hate the fact that there aren't any good pens around here that can be used in creating mods. My pencil makes me want to snap it in half sometimes. -
Date: Sat, May 17 2008 13:29:23
I could do TA harmonic for a looonnng time.
Then one day, I came across JEB's 1st. Loved it, and I said "I must learn now".
Then searched pen spinning and saw pentrixs with all their nice tutorials

3 years ago when i started to go to the high school many friends knew how to do a T.A and many days after there was an article in a french newspaper about " pentrix". In this article there was a description of the trick and i learned it in one afternoon. i was prood to success it like like the others. 1 year after i saw a friend doing a multiple T.A harmonic and i was facinated ! at this moment i remembered the article and i went on internet writing the word "penspinning" and i took an eye on "pendolsa 1st". I found it cool and after i went on the "spowash skyblog" to learn others tricks. it was a way for me to be original.

I was browsing on wikihow for schoolwork and stumbled across the TA page. Needless to say I had to master that trick and did so too. After that I sort of forgot about it, haha.
A few months later I went to the movies with a friend and she brought some japanese friends who were spinning pens. They were awesome, so I started pen spinning again. There were lots of stuff I was interested in back then, so I quickly forgot about pen spinning again, lol.
Just a few months ago I saw the JaPen video and got totally hooked again. Here to stay? I don't know. -

And when I was 16, I had a classmate who was doing Sonic Rise/Fall Harmonic and Sonic Rise/Fall began to spread throughout my class. Then I gotten serious about PSing when I first mastered Sonic Rise/Fall and which is why now I'm at UPSB -

I actually FIRST saw it on G4TV about 2 or so years ago.
On a TV show called, "Attack of the Show" or "Screensavers" Cant remember which...
ANYWAYS, they always have a small segment of the show were they have a few interesting website that they show people.
and the theme for that day was websites for board people/ people in school. Low and behold, "Pentrix" was featured.
I went to learn thumbaround throught them, but never really pursued any further, not looking at any of the outside links or anything.
And then, about a year after that, i found myself board one day, scrolling through youtube, i was looking for new tricks to learn, (TA rev.)
and happened upon a few videos and a link to UCPSB, which was fairly dead @ that point. After a couple weeks, i found a link to UPSB and things grew from there. !!! -

I bought some tul pens at office max on the first day of school this year and I was just fingerpassing and stuff before I knew I was spinning and did a thumbaround
. I was like dude thats awesome! So I kept practicing that and that night I googled penspinning and wala ended up here. -

From there, I got into PS. -

It all started about 2 years ago...
I was on some other forum where some guy posted a vid of Japans 1st. Obviously I watched it and found it interesting..
Learned the Thumbaround.. And that was all.
A year later I stumbled upon the same video again.. I found it interesting and slowly got hooked onto pen spinning... -

when i was a sophomore i saw someone sitting behind me in language class do a thumbaround. he ended up teaching me and a bunch of other tricks such as rev. ta and sonic rise. i had already learned the charge when i was in 7th grade. and then i looked up pen spinning on youtube and found the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q7s4E94-No that vid. got me all started. eventually i self taught the infinity and extended infinity by myself and then started getting into it. it wasn't untill in feb or march where i learned twisted sonic. and that is how i got to where i am today.

i saw a couple classmates doing thumbarounds, infinity's, extended infinity's, double infinity's, extended double infinity's, sonic, and charge as well as others making failed attempts . seeing so many try, ifigured i wouldn't just so that i wasn't doing things because it was popular. i was bored a couple months ago and tried thumb around, though hardly doing it. yesterday i decided to ask someone to teach me extended infinity and learned it in a few minutes. this morning i remembered some other infinity variations and tried them. i can now do all of the ones i mentioned, though not perfectly. watched japens 1st and others before finding this site and pentrix as well as some others i can't rememember even after reading them so many times (i just finished reading the whole thread). i now plan to learn as much as possible, though i suck at manipulating my fingers individually. odd thing is i'm doing these infinity's and still haven't mastered thumb around, and can't even start a charge.

i think like 4 months later my friend comes up to me doing a ta so i learned just form watching (im to proud to ask how he did it).. got to the point where i could do a thumbaround both hands at the same time and even could land two pens in one hand thumbaround (both at the same time)

Date: Tue, May 12 2009 01:30:18
ok, first I was looking up ways to make little guns out of pens, in step NateisKewl
he had a video of a pen gun, when I looked deeper into his profile I saw his penspinning videos. I became curious and looked up penspinning tutorials, in step Xero.
I watched almost all of his tutorials. I had seen a bunch of pens in Nate's vids that were double sided, so I decided to make my own. After 5 minutes of thinking about how to make a double sided pen, I made a bictory on my own (I thought I invented it XD)
it had a RSVP grip in the middle, and 1 on each cap. Then I became curious and went onto UPSB, that's how I ended up here. -
Date: Tue, May 12 2009 12:31:23
first i saw it on tv, about penspinning in japan, but i thought "okay, that was cool"
then, few weeks later, my friend can do TA, i learn it, but never learn another trick
a year later, another friend of my can do sonic, i learned it too, and start to be serious about pen spinning, until i made my own board for indonesia pen spinners -

I learned the ThumbAround back in high school but never carried on from there.
It wasn't until this year of college when I was doing the TA and my friend saw me and was like "hey you're into pen spinning?"
I didn't know what it was so we researched and found Eso's tutorials and eventually each made BICtory's and now here I am. -
Date: Sun, May 17 2009 15:42:43
I went to a new skool in the middle of the year and people were spinning RSVP MXs and i was like WTF and 1 guy had Dr. KT so i became the 2nd best in the grade in 2 months. And the other people were spinning for 6-7 months. And a couple I would consider not beginers

So i learned it and scrolled down the page: a comment said "Professionally this trick is known as a Sonic" At first I lol'd that there is a "professional" name for this trick. I youtubed the trick and found a couple of tutorials which eventually led me to Kam's Pentrix video. Then i went to Pentrix which lead me to UPSB

I met him and he showed me a few tricks and the website from GPC... after that i wanted to learn PenSpinning, too, so i started spinning^ ^
And there was a topic on another board (eTCG), i saw him post there- i didn't read it first, because i misread the title (i always read "PenisPinning", but it was "PenSpinning"). -
