    i dunno about you guys, but when people see me pen spinning during class, i get a whole bunch of people crowding me and asking me how to such and such. so finally i make a note on facebook just linking poeple on what to watch and do:



    Spoiler:
    Hey guys,
    Because of the growing intrest to penspinning i've decided to link you guys (the ones who are intrested)
    through a series of videos that i recommend.


    Note: don't think that penspinning is where you come home after school, sit in front of your desk and spin for an undetermined amount of time >_>.... I learned penspinning at home ~10min(watching video) then the rest is just practicing in class.



    First a inspirational video: biggrin.gif

    Ok, the first 4 videos are what we call: Fundementals. its really important you learn these.
    some arn't absolutly important, but just a good idea. Feel free to jump around learning fundementals because
    one fundemntal isn't vital to learn the other one. Once you start learning more advance tricks it gets more important.
    Tricks 4-5 are not fundemtals but my suggested tricks to learn next.
    -----------------------------------------------------------



    1) Thumb around:

    Reverse Thumbaround:

    2) Charge

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2XkoyRyCxA...re=channel_page

    This is a pretty hard trick, if you can't get a continuous one that goes for forever, settle for ~2-3 revolutions,
    its all you really need.

    Reverse Charge

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-7roNDQc1g




    3) Fingerpass (Or according to Gemmy "Waterfall" XP


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sGI2rp7lug



    Reverse Fingerpass

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY4_rv1Zer4
    The reverse isn't very important to learn, but its not a bad idea.



    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    4) Korean bak (backaround)

    5) Twisted sonic

    ***NOTE*** Helpful if you know how to do a charge first. (dont' have to but still...







    MODS (Modified pens)

    You guys might have noticed my orange and green heavy pen. aka Dr. kt.

    You don't have to have special pens to spin, it just makes it easier to do so.


    if you guys wanna make one.

    here: one pen will cost you around ~12 cents and last you forever.

    and its light.

    i too am at that point where people crowd and ask me how do do stuff. i get annoyed. really annoyed, really quick.
    but instead of your action i just scare them by showing them a long complicated combo, and telling them it took my a few months to get it. it's easy to do, gets rid of the problem.



    you could also link them to penwish.

    instead of just providing a link to a single spinner why not go diverse? make a vid with spinners from all around the world.

    maybe a collab?
    one thing, make sure pyralux isn't in there
    i love him, but it'll confuse the hell out of every newbie out there XD

  10. SJ
    Date: Mon, Apr 27 2009 02:11:24

    or show them the world elite collab? or whatever it was called...
    but dont show spinners like seven ayatori pyralux s777...
    show them chautran or something

    i dont know how to explain tricks well so that is a good idea. Idk if this is just me but i think u should take out charge reverse and fingerpass reverse?? or is that just me.. still good note


    Edit: is there a chance i can use this note for my friends who ask about my spinning?

    Date: Wed, Nov 18 2009 07:30:31

    Yeah I just get a hand full of people that ask me how to do that. When I show how to do it they give up the first time they try.

    I would find a easy collab of fundamentals or or other easy tricks so they would want to get into ps.

    I've taught about 9 people some of the basics but mostly EVERYONE wants to learn how to do a TA...even my sister...no joke. Like I've taught 4 people in my french class, 1 in my math, 1 in my 'off', and 3 cousins.
