Fundamental Tricks / Thumbspin
-
Date: Fri, Nov 23 2007 17:48:38
I need tutorials/some guides that tells me how to do Thumb Spin (the pen/stick spins around your thumb until all the power of the push and then you catch it as thumb around).

this goes in fundamentals section.
the thumbspin is just a variant of the thumbaround, if you know the thumbaround, you can practice a little bit to know the thumbspin.
(it has an article on thumbspin) -

Have the pen so that it is on a 90 degree angle with your thumb, it should look like a T from the top, with your pen being the horizontal line and your thumb being the vertical line. Your index and middle fingers should be placed just like a normal thumbaround and the cop should be about a few centimetres to the left (for a righty) of the thumb. Do a push like the thumbaround, make sure your thumb is completely flat and is resting on your middle finger after the push. It should spin on your thumb.
In other words, just do a thumbaround, but lay your middle finger down flat right after the push, don't push so hard either. -

woah cool thanks
btw
do I need a big pen? and I must use a pen that the middle of it is the COP right?
and anothere question
what's the highest number of revolutions ever made in thumb around? I mean the record -

you don't need a big pen....you can even use an unsharpened pencil
COP = Center Of Pen therefore middle...you must mean COG or COB...then no the COB or COG doesn't need to be in the middle
around 13.0-17.0 I think -
Date: Sat, Nov 24 2007 13:42:54
you do not need a big pencil, anything over 16 cm should be good for practicing. The highest ever was 19.0 revolutions i think, by someone from FPSB (maybe Mikuel or something like that), although it was using a pen with a middle grip. Sunrise made some very high (15.0) thumbspins with just an unsharpened colouring pencil though.
In the post that made, COP=COB or COG, I just call the center of balance the COP. Find the place where the pen balances, using th top of your finger or a lacky band or whatever. -

like I said there's not many guides, if you know how to do the TA, you will know how to do the TS.
this will help; http://www.geocities.jp/thetroposphere/psi...s.html#multiple -

Actually it took me a fair bit of experimenting to actually finally get the TS, after i had known the thumbaround for months, I wasn't laying my thumb down flat.

Thumbspin and ThumbAround are different tricks...
Thumbspin spins on top of the thumb for 1.5 or more revolutions
ThumbAround goes around the thumb once -

TS is a different trick than TA though.

sry for the quality zoom it out
1st trick = TA

Except as Eso has said before he sucks at thumbspin, so i dont think that he would be the best choice for someone to make a video tutorial. (No offense Eso im just repeating what youve siad many times.) -

i still cant get thumbspin
...any more hints/tips? -

Does the balance of the pen affect the trick? If the COG does not equal the COP, then wouldn't the pen not be able to stay on the thumb or the index finger, if doing a thumbinedxspin? For example, if more weight is to the right side of the pen, or any side, i think the pen would fall.

for me it does
so i use dual caps pens
for perfect balance
and for the thumbspin a grip aviare or bictory is good
too bad i cant have one -

All I do is close my hand before 1 revolution so the pen keeps spinning. It's all a matter of keeping the pen on your hand which can be difficult to some.

I have seen a guy do 13 revolutions. On youtube. Type in, "pen spinning" Then its the first vid i think. It has a guy about in the middle with 13 revs! But sadly . I have only been able to do the thumb spin once. I cant get it ither. Mabey its because im from america, or i that i live in utah. Im the only one in my school that knows what pen spinning is.
So i'm with you on this one. Any other suggestions for the bolth of us? -
Date: Tue, Apr 29 2008 23:15:27
@LoopStan that video u saw was Japen's 1st. Sunrise did 13.5 spins and oh yeah, the place you live at shouldn't affect your ability to do a thumbspin.
@B3ndythumbs u should be able to do thumbspins with something light. Sunrise did his thumbspin with a pencil -

you can do thumbspins with unbalanced pens... you just have to find the balancing point. and thumbspin isnt very easy... you just have to keep trying. Thumbspin 1.5 's will eventually become natural. try doing a thumbaround, but just as your finishing, bend your thumb under the pen so it'll go another .5 rotations.

I do TSs by closing that area were you usually catch the pen with my thumb...sometimes it works... I'm just hoping I'll get good enough were I don't have to do that anymore.

I found out this 2 tips are really usefull:
-Close the area that the pen was going to fall by placing your thumb into it
-Once the pen starts to spin above the thumb, raise it to get momentum and complete the other 0.5 spin.
With a bit of practice you can choose where the pen is going to spin, then it's just about increasing the number of rotations. -
Date: Thu, May 1 2008 18:41:24
if you just close the gap won't it go into a TIS?
-

ME thumbspinning
-
Date: Fri, May 2 2008 13:17:36
Does a thumbspin that does not rotate over the thumb but around the area between the thumb and index finger count as a thumbspin?
-
Date: Fri, May 2 2008 13:23:21
fail. that's thumbindex spin

So to do thumbspin multiple times, do I have to keep the thumb moving or keep it still?
I can do 1.5 most of the time, but it keeps falling after a while
I really want to do it like 4+ times

lol orly? -
Date: Mon, Jun 23 2008 22:36:48
Yep. But if you watch the video Kam made for them, you can see he didn't tap the pen. Did SpinZ make the trick instructions themselves or did Kam tell them?

probably both

Date: Sun, Aug 3 2008 10:27:12
umm this is a lil half assed but its kinda how i learned lol
u do it similar to the thumb around but thenwhen ur index pushes the pen bend ur thumb downwards so that instead of going around your thumb its pushed ontop of it -
Date: Wed, May 20 2009 19:22:34
just wondering, how do u count the number of spins?
how do u knoo if its 4.0 or 13.5 or watever the number was? -

Some take videos and watch it in slow motion using video managers.
