    I haven't been spinning long enough to know the answer to the question. Maybe video tutorials always been around?
    Any veteran spinners remember?

    Watch the tutorials.... sometimes, I usually learn new tricks by watching collab/promo or just a ps'ing clip sleep(1).gif

    The first time I did the trick that I was trying to do, it was just a fluke, and then I just got better and better by practicing and could do it like 80-90% later or kinda -.-

    Uh, I'm not exactly a veteran, but I used a site called turtlespin. It's where I learned my fundies.

    depends how far back,

    when i first started PSing, it took me around 3 years to learn Charge 23 and a trick I thought was thumbaround but it's actually more of a sidespin. I learned by myself without Internet.

    Then I learned the other fundamentals from the text tutorials on Pentix.

    The rest I learned from watching videos from David Weis, nhk_9, tohlz, kangandgeon...

    In the very past i learned the Basics from watching normal videos and trying to figure out, what they do. hen i found GPC and Pentrix and then there where some Tutorials etc.
    It was quite difficult to learn the things years ago i think.

    maybe in the past
    people were not learning tricks, but they invent it

    and now I remember why I started this thread: in the past, people would learn new tricks by basically watching other people's videos because there weren't any tutorials for the tricks. so if today you're trying to learn a new trick, but it doesn't have a tutorial, then you would do what people do in the past: just try to figure it out themselves by watching the video repeatedly?

    That's exactly what you do.

    no, I meant way in the past before pen spinning was popular. zombo pretty much answered that.
