    so in order to improve the spinning of our clan, we should learn new tricks. I know that I rarely learn new tricks. I go on youtube once or twice a month and go on a learning frenzy, but I don't do it consistently. Now, if we do a completely optional thing where anyone in the team that wants to participate learns one trick a week, I would be compelled to learn that trick. I would have motivation.

    So, to get a baseline for what tricks we should learn first, anyone interested in participating should post there complete list of tricks that they know here. By doing this, I will get a good idea of where this team is the penspinning realm. From these lists, I will choose a trick that we should learn, you might have it already learned, you might not.

    This is completely optional, and it just an idea. Raine, iColor, Iota, shoot it down if you want.

    +1.

    I like this idea, but, I think the pace would be too slow. In one week, I would be focusing on 3 tricks. So, we can move at a faster pace, lets say.. 2 tricks per week? Not so many tricks to learn in a week, but enough to not get bored of it.

    alright. saturdays and wednesday will be when new tricks are chosen, maybe?

    unless of course the trick is considered to be really hard, then maybe we could do that trick for a whole week.

    Oh well yeah. Based on difficulty.

    Saturdays and Wednesdays sound good. Do you want to start now?

    sure. though I really have no idea where to begin in tricks, since I don't know which tricks have been learned and which haven't...?

    I'll just toss some out though

    Nice idea. I completely agree. Make a new thread called trick of the week and just keep updating that. 2 tricks per week sound good.
    I think we should focus on hybrids. Power tricks would take more time and need alot of practice. Also hybrids can be easily thrown into any combo
    and add to the difficulty level.

    Loving this idea. Finally something to motivate me to learn. I don't think I've tried anything new in a month. Dx


    But I think it should be 2 tricks at the beginning of each week just so you don't get bored trying to do one move over and over. Then have one really hard trick to be working each month.
