Then you sure going to take years to master a trick.
Learning is one thing and mastering is another.
Anyway, learn to post at the correct place, this should be under general discussion. And I think similar threads have been created before... -

I think 1-2 H is enough... if u have time...
I think min. is not enough, for an trick... -

Hmm the tricks i can do ''half smooth''/''smooth'' i do them each like 30 min or something.
The tricks i can do but i do them 5 of 10 times - i do them each like 30min or something.
When i learn new tricks i do them till i can do it (no smooth) just only one time to do it and then starts training.
So my full training time is like 4 - 5h (but this is only at mondays and 4days and 7days). At other days i do them random time becouse then i have other things to do - friends, ect. -

Noob that I am who unfortunately have many other things to do (not to mention distractions), I usually practice whenever I'm idle in my free time. So that can mean from a few minutes to an hour. But if I do "serious" practice, I devote 1-2 hours learning a trick. This is when I almost paralyzed my fingers because I was forcing them to adopt to the trick's motions. Haha.
But yeah, like the old folks say, genius is repeated failures. So we have many more failures to go before we reach the God status
Goodluk to us

for a fundamental?
cuz that's where your thread is at. -

learning fundamental tricks takes time, in my experience. to understand the concept and understand the movement... once you learn it, i believe you can perfect it even with minimum training in maximum of 2 weeks.
with the 'advanced' tricks its the opposite. you already understand the concept, but mastering a certain trick could take weeks of practice. the fingerpass acts like an advanced trick on this perspective.
i believe you should gradually raise your practice per day. i like practicing new tricks at home 30 mins a time usually, and perfecting and improving smoothness and speed at school -

I practice my spinnings like ... 4 - 5 hours a day.

I don't think 5 minutes per day is sufficient time to learn many tricks. I think it would take some years to get a good fingerpass practicing at that rate and perhaps weeks to learn each of the other fundamentals. I'm not sure mastery would be achieved for months at 5 minutes per day. I would say 20 minutes per day is probably a minimum to put in (to any hobby) to show any real improvement.

For me, during the period I am trying to master fingerpass, I did it the whole day... Just spam fingerpass and no other tricks...

i do fingerpass when ever i can

On weekdays with a lot of homework i practice during class (like, very hardcore), maybe an hour a day, not counting class time.
on friday nights and weekends.... that's a different story.... i practice from about 10 pm to about 2 or 3 am............
that's how i got bakfall in 2 weeks -
Date: Wed, Feb 6 2008 06:09:26
Gee,2 weeks to master BakFall? That's fast!
It took me like,a week to master Bak and Midbak,a month to master RingBak,5 minutes to master PinkyBak,and another one month to make my BakFall smooth...
I mastered PinkyBak and PinkyAround in 15 minutes haha. -

People always incorrectly use the word "mastered" when referring to a trick. I learned bakfall in 3 days, but it has taken months to get it smooth and even now i would say im FAR from mastering it.
In my opinion a mastered trick means you can:
-Do it well very consistently
-Do it smoothly
-Combo into the trick
-Combo out of the trick
...if you lack one of those elements you have not mastered the trick. -

i practice bout 6, 7 hours a day....if i really like a trick i don't stop till i have it 'mastered'
-

you can not and will not ever master anything in your entire life. u can be good at it but u will never master it. and i only train when im bored in classes. After school id reither study or go out reither then spend 1 - 2 hours pen spinning.

In my personal experience I feel that to master a trick is just what it entails. I dont often strive to master a trick but to be comfortable with its motions and using it in different combos.
Though I do have a decent number of tricks under my belt, I wont go as far to say I have 'mastered' them. -

I spin about 3 hrs in school.
Then like 1 hr at home. -
Date: Thu, Feb 7 2008 22:43:21
I am new to spinning and I am practicing till my hand hurts, even when I cant do any more, I still keep the pen in my hand.
