    sunrise (jeb) did a 23.5 and then a few month after a 25.

    thumbindex spin is not thumbspin
    although that is impressive
    its not quite as impressive as a thumbspin

    'm pretty sure Sunrise did 15.0 with an unsharpened colouring pencil.

    It's harder without the middle grip. Highest I've gotten was...9 spins without a middle grip. Meh, months of practicing the thumbspin and it still sucks.

    I think that there needs to be a defining line between thumbspins and thumb-indexspins. You can't just go around saying you got the thumbspin record, when it's a thumb-indexspin!

    @Look into the Sun, actually 9.0 is a lot better then most of the people on here could get.

    I'm not gonna lie, my record is 1.5, I can't do a proper thumbspin.
    @: Look Into the Sun: 9.0 is actually really good, I can't even do a 2.0.

    The thumbspin was one of the first few tricks I learned actually...so it's been quite a while. But, thanks guys.

    And this is hawt. http://youtube.com/watch?v=HkyEd6Qwezo&feature=related




    This thread isn't any good without videos! The only one I'd count is Mykeul's.

    I want to learn this.. I just need a CoG @ CoP pen, with a grip in the middle right? (easier to learn it with a middle grip I suppose)

    My record is 6.0 i think. But i'm dont work on thumbspins. I can do 2.5 consistency and i'm happy biggrin.gif

    Date: Wed, Jan 30 2008 20:51:44

    can people really do so many spins constantly or is it just one every ten tries or something like that? mellow.gif
    do you use special pens for many multiple spins?

  27. LMnet
    Date: Wed, Jan 30 2008 21:11:30

    Vall3y, if u talk about 10+ spins, this tricks can be done maybe 1/100 tryes. But i think Sunrise can do 10+ TS 1/5 tryes smile.gif

    There are middle gripped pens that are better for a high number of rotations while doing TA/TS.
    And the best I did so far was 5-6, but haven't realy tried it lately tongue.gif

    I think my highest is 4.5, maybe 5.0. I can do 2.0 and 2.5 reasonably consistantly.

    Since when is TS a fundamental btw? confusedsmilie.gif

  30. Vall3y
    Date: Wed, Jan 30 2008 22:19:15

    i see, thought so... but even 3 consistently looks extremely hard to me
    just the transition from 1.5 to 2 was so hard for me , and still working on 2.5 dry.gif

    My thumbspins are pretty consistent if I keep at only a small amount of spins. 3-5 spins I can do pretty consistently. They're hard to slip into a combo though. I only use it as an opening or finishing trick. I do it oddly though, the pen spins on the side of my thumb so I guess it's more of a sidespin...

    most i've done is 7

    Date: Thu, Jan 31 2008 00:12:25

    most ive done is 2.5.....

    also: what kind of grip is used for a "middle grip" pen; ive heard of ppl using electric tape, but the guy with the 22.0 looks like he was using a pen with an actual grip in the middle....

  34. penspinoob
    Date: Wed, Mar 26 2008 16:37:43

    oof, I do sometimes 2.0, or 3.0 if a miracle occurs

    22.0 was thumb index spin I think. The person who did it probably used a grip aviaire (inoxcrom slickpen grip in middle). I'm not sure, since I can't find the video right now

    The most I've EVER gotten is a 3.5, and that's probably the absolute HIGHEST for me.
