    I think im of many rare pen spinners at my country. I dont know any one who doing pen spinning except me. It's kinda crapy feeling, that you are only one from your country. I know that other countrys, have their own pen spinning communitys, teams ect. I made LPSC (Latvian Pen Spinning Community) - i adverted it at so many places - and only got 18 forum members, 16 of them are not active. I showed off ps videos at my adverts ect. but that didn't help.

    So is there any ''hints'' or methods to get it popular at my country. :\ ?

    My friend wants to learn pen-spinning and i will be his teacher. But 2 people arent enought. So im kinda ''gaaaah''...
    I guess all can Latvian people do is spin their farming instruments (like spades, some shit stabs ect.) but not pens :\

    ahah, well it's no use forcing the issue. advertise yourself and give them some time to adapt.

    Start a pen spinning club? Might take a while to get popular. PSing takes dedication and diligence so that might be unattractive to some people who were expecting something else.

    I live in CA and I'm the only pser that I know in San Jose. The rest are noobs that spam charges. It would be nice to meet more of my own kind.

    Lol more of your own kind! hahaha.

    I know the feeling though. It sucks coming from a small country where people think you're weird for spinning a pen =_=

    Hey man
    I understand. Two years ago I'm like the only Thai spinner. Now ps become a popular hobby in Thailand.

    Our admin Jay does it. As far as I know, advertising in real life doesn't spread it that quick effective. He went to some of the most popular Thai internet forums and post his own combos there. Also YouTube and all those stuff. At the end of the combos he held up a sign that says ThaiSpinner.com and his email and stuff. People are like OMFGLMAODJFWTFCOCACOLAMX gotta spin!

    same in Slovakia. I started spin one year ago with my friend when i saw pen spinning video (haduri), then some schoolmates try it but not for long time, you know...At spring i try to make Slovakia pen spinning collab, it had 30 members, 4 - 5 active. There was webpage on freehosting and forum on hosting from my friend. THen i have some personal problems and it crashed. Slovakia now have max 4 active spinners. Me ( but i dodnt spin from spring to now, 2 days ago i started again, and my friend again too). Third and fourth spinners are some guys from internet, they wrote me icq message (icq is popular internet instant mesaging protocol in slovakia and czech republic) and started spin. I dont know if they spin allredy. Maybye...

    I dont know - im kinda afraid to risk with my money. Becouse i have already been adverting pen spinning at internet. We have one famous potal at Latvia - you get there friends, make picture galerys, video blah blah... just friends portal. Ive made special video where i inserted pro spinners video. And at the video were speacial adress advert to our new LPSC (Latvian Pen Spinning Community). People comments were like - ''nice'' ''omg wtf'' ''lol, what can do people with pens'' ''omfg nice! i wish i can do it''. All comments were positive but the problem is - from that page i only got about 10 people - the video was viewed about 300 times... and only 10 people. Maybe some of them are spinning but they dont connect with other spinners. I have seen on TV video and some reports about pen spinning and i bet there is poeple that trying to do it but doesn't know about others. It would be super fantastic - if I would get at TV and adverted pen spinning - at some show or something but i dont have enought high skill to present it. mellow.gif

    Same here man, I live in sac tho. It seems I'm the only good spinner here because it's difficult to find a person that has the same skills and interests in PS'ing like I do. It feels alright to have someone to talk to that actually PS and know other moves other than n00bs who spam TA's and Charge 12-12s. <__< I've gotten a friend to PS at school and he actually likes to PS. I've gotten my bro to PS too and he's a little below my level.
