    Thumb Around =]... I don't think I started working on other tricks until at least like a month in. And then sonic and charge for about 5 months... gives you an idea... huh.gif

    Like Essence, I didnt really do anything else except master the TA and Sonic 23>12. The first two or three months were definitely the hardest.

    I started spinning for fun w/o knowing about UPSB in January of 2009.
    I started officially in April of 2009. (That was when I joined the board)

    I was one of those burst spinners who burned out after like 3 months. I had shadow, twisted sonic bust and I think reverse charge by my first month.

    I was like that except instead of my first month mastering those, it was like my second or third.

    I lul cuz i can do a Shadow better than PoV, and I am newer than he is. So I bash him jokingly all the time tongue.gif

    I think the slower you go the more "attached" you get to psing... mellow.gif

    Idk I blame my noobiness on my slow progression and the fact that I started without a board or community to go to...
    My progression has always been very very slow, 1 trick every 3 months?... =\.

    I could do the most basic Infinity Normals [Until Quad] and ThumbAround after a month.

    Is it better to learn a lot of tricks or perfect tricks when just beginning?

    In one month of penspinning i was able to do the Twisted Sonic Bust, sonic, sonic rise, shadow, and charge. It was until my second month i was able to do the TA, TA Rev, Sonic rise fall harmonic, infinity, fingerpass (which is really difficult for me!!) Extended TA, and TA harmonic. My friends said i have no life lol. but i was like. Cant do this bitch!

    i think i knew mostly just the fundamentals, possibly a few more things. however, i'm a slow learner at first, and then I pick up the pace and learn fast later on. I've been spinning three months now, and i'd like to think i know an average or a little more number of tricks for my time spinning. however, i spin alot. I have a trick list on my profile page, give or take a few. Honestly though, the time it takes you to learn stuff at a few months and maybe later doesn't necessarily determine your skill in the future.

    I personally learned tons of tricks when just beginning, but if I could go back I would perfect them first.
