    How should we publish them? Who can write a full answer to Thewave's question? Etc


    "Hello.

    I would like to address a question to the fingerless article.
    I would like to know if a new spinner could become an "old school" spinner.
    By definition today (from the article about different spinning styles) the "old school" style still exists and everyone can practically become an "old school" spinner.
    But does "old school" spinning also require from the spinner to be an old spinner who didn't start just recently?

    Awaiting the answer
    Thewave"


    "Dear writers of Fingerless,

    First off, these magazines are really good. I look forward to them and enjoy the work you put into them.
    I think it could use some more coverage of mods, and stuff thats happening with mods, like commercialization. I would really enjoy some coverage on Spinz and Pen'z Gear, more then what we already know if possible. Other than that, keep up the good work!

    how to publish them: right after the editorial, the first section of the magazine is reader's mail. Put their mails in there and write commenets or answer right below each mail in a different color.

    the first question I can answer.

    "
    I don't think there is a formal defintion of old school at all. In the general sense, old school spinning denotes a style of spinning where creativity is put head and shoulders above execution. I think this term takes its roots for the Official Battles taking place on UPSB a few years ago. In those battles, the main criteria are creativity, difficulty and how well the theme of the battle is incorporated. As long as you spin with that mentality, you could be considered old-school, regardless of your experience.
