Ladies and gentlemen!
Visit the one, the only, BIC PEN SPINNING ACADEMY!
So yeah, it's true. They even have some video tutorials for basics, and recommended pens to spin with.
Even a tutorial for the Infinity!
I'm shocked that Pentel didn't make a site like that first!

irritating music.
haven't fully browsed the site yet for the moment though.
Edit - now that i've gone through a little, i think it's quite a silly idea, using pen spinning to advertise for their products.
Edit Edit - who is the guy performing the combos? -
Date: Mon, Dec 31 2007 06:19:55
Old, those bastards didnt send us our Bic Crystal like they promised.

Really?
I only learned about it by accident.

You might have missed the thread, it was back in UCPSB.
The spinner is from FPSB or GPC I forgot.
But bic just wants to make money off of the PS stuff, seeing how its so popular now. -

Pen Spinning Academy thread in UCPSB
...and the follow-up disappointment thread -
Date: Mon, Dec 31 2007 07:08:21
Lol, I remember that, everybody kept asking where their bics were. Recently on UCPSB though (past month) somebody actually made a thread in GD saying that they got their BIC pen. Not sure what the deal is with that.

i agree, the music pisses me off too
and i think that it's only natural to advertise their pens through penspinning if penspinning is gaining popularity
i mean, really, how many ways are there to advertise a pen
but yeah, it is a silly idea still cause probably only people like us will run into this site, and we're already pen spinners and we already have our sources of getting pens, and by advertising pen spinning on their site doesn't make me wanna buy their pens any more, or any less
it's not gonna get other people to buy their products because of the penspinning aspect cause most people won't go searching for bic pens on a whim
if people want pens, they go to the store...not online (non penspinners) -

I lol'd.
Who is the guy in the Videos? /ahh... Mouquette
Why looks penspinning with a BIC Christal so gay? /ahh... ok.
Why does the loop of this music make me wanna kill somebody? /thats their plan O_O
This school is ridiculus. -
Date: Mon, Dec 31 2007 12:50:07
the guy is Mouquette from FPSB...

Is this website an attempt to overcome www.pentrix.com? FAIL!

I got two. First one, then another one (with completely cracked barrel :D) a few weeks later. -
Date: Mon, Dec 31 2007 17:44:09
I dunno.
I guess it's just a little disappointing that a freaking company would try to milk an uprising hobby and advertise their pens. Have there even been any advertisements about the site? I've never seen it on TV or billboards or anything like that. -
Date: Mon, Dec 31 2007 17:58:53
Lol who the hell would think bak 12 is harder than charge
Anyways, that site is way too "cool" for penspinning, don't like it.
/me loves oldschoolish black upsb -

Uhh that really takes too long to load
But I remember the guy has a really sweet shirt -

Went that site before, I don't really read it.
Frankly speaking, it sucks. -

Wow... I really hate bic for making that.

The website isn't too bad, except that they used the wrong trick for Backaround.
-
Date: Wed, Jan 2 2008 07:02:34
They ranked a charge as hard.
What the hell? -

Hm, or maybe subsequently deleted since I can't seem to find it. I made a thread about penspinning and advertising only a couple days ago that provided a link to the same site as here.It dosn't really matter though
Bic should really produce bictories in a factory. -
Date: Fri, Jan 4 2008 02:04:00
Lol. saw this when it was on ucpsb
and I agree, the music is very irritating -
Date: Thu, Apr 17 2008 18:17:20
It's kinda fucking bad they didn't change their music this year too, by the way.
-
Date: Thu, Apr 17 2008 20:57:13
I don't see any tricks on the site

Date: Thu, Apr 17 2008 22:36:02
He would have to spin an unmodded Bic pen. I don't think Bictories are even allowed.
