"Use this thread to open new projects.
If you want to request to open a topic, you can just create it right away if the project it belongs to already exist (Be sure to notify it in the appropriate project thread). Otherwise, request that the project be open first here.
Here's the format of a request
"Project name"
Project leader: "name". It should be you by default, but if you don't want to, we can arrange for someone else to take care of it.
Project description: Write a summary of what the project does.
Why? reason.
Example topic: write a topic you may work on inside this project." -

Project Name: Sliders
Project Leader: grsbmd (me)
Project description: Slider is a tenative name for a new trick I created. I wanted to create a topic to research variations and ways to use it in a combo.
Why: I was going to wait until Evolution 2 was released to start a topic on this, but now that we have a new forum, I think I'll release this to at least the researchers. If you're a researcher, don't leak this. I still want the public release to be Evolution 2. When the new topic is created, I can make a post about what a Slider is and how to do it.
Example topic: Slider variations and combos. -

Project Title: Trick Dynamics Diagram (Tentative naming)
Project leader: Eso
Project description: This project will attempt to show relationships between known tricks. Also, it will display all possible (known) modifiers to each trick.
Why? To give a graphical point of reference for those wishing to see a "learning order chart." Also to give a picture into the world of PS tricks as accurately as possible. It can be used for further research into other areas, development of new tricks, and anything else is possible.

Project Title: Trick Tutorials
Project Leader: Shadowserpant
Project Description: A collaborative effort to create tutorials for all tricks currently known to pen spinners and arrange them all in one easily accessible location.
Project Reason: To give new pen spinners full knowledge of how to do tricks that don't yet have easily found tutorials. Also to create tutorials for rare tricks that are not well known.

Project name : go round tricks
leader : Lindor (FPSB)
Hi everybody
I post really rarely on UPSB, so I will first explain who I am =) I'm from FPSB and I am the moderator of FPSB's laboratory (there is another moderator, KIRGO). This "laboratory" is like UPSB's RD and UPSB's NC, without the "officiality". Members of the laboratory post what they invent or speak about notation without deciding to change a notation.
There is some tricks and others on the laboratory which, I think, should be "officialized". Here I will first present a new tricks category : go round tricks.
During an around, the pen goes round a finger. During a go round trick, on the contrary, the finger goes round the pen. The pen does not move, it stay motionless.
For people who can understand french, here is the topic about go round tricks on FPSB :
http://thefpsb.penspinning.fr/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=357
And now some video :
http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=06Avy-UsMgA
This video presents the "thumb go round reverse T2-T2" and after the "index go round T12-12". Others tricks at the end are not really good, that's an old video ^^
http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=HPhmKcIVu ... re=channel
This video presents the "pass round tricks". This is another category which is include in the largest category, "go round tricks". During a go round trick, the finger completely goes round the pen; during a pass round trick, the finger just pass under the mod (if he was on the mod before the "pass round") or on the mod (if he was under the mod before the "pass round"). The finger makes an "half-rotation" (and the pen does not move of course).
Breakdowns : ( !! Breakdowns in the video are'nt good !!)
index pass round T2-1 (1u)
IndexMiddle pass round T3-12 (1u, 2d)
IndexMiddleRing pass round T4-12 (1u, 2d, 3d)
With the middle finger : Middle pass round 13-2 (2u)
Others are just hybrids.
I will make other video if I can, there is others tricks which are possible.
I created a system which permits to breakdown pass round and go round tricks, but I don't know if I should post it here (that's about new tricks) or in the NC... (that's also about notation...)
And I will post later other concepts: motionless tricks, spinless tricks, bend tap, flick thumbaround...
(they all are in the FPSB's laboratory).
If I have to create a ne topic please just say it. -

uhm... it looks like fingerswitching to me
or some kind of magic reset? which is still fingerswitching i think...
and the second link is like, broken or something, im not sure, but the second video link won't work -
Date: Mon, Dec 29 2008 23:32:32
sorrry, here is the real link :
http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=HPhmKcIVu6k&...feature=channel
and fingerswitching is also just a concept... Tricks using fingerswitching are often motionless tricks, but I think go round tricks are really different. I spoke about it with fratleym weeks ago. Magic reset is a motionless trick. Sliders can be motionless tricks also... like a lot of tricks. -

Project name - Fundamental Combo Displayer
Project leader: Outsmash
Project description - A program that allows you to view any kind of fundamental combos (Upto 4 tricks). the program will have four selection boxes - each containing the four fundamental tricks. The user can click on one trick per box or he could click only one trick if he/she wants to view only a single trick. The combinations possible are more than 300 (I guess) but I'm willing to do this.
Why - To allow anyone (mainly beginners) to view how a combo (upto 4 fundamental tricks) looks so that he/she can rely on the program for the first few combos he/she will do in his PS career.

Project name : FPSB's laboratory
Project leader : lindor
I often think of posting some descriptions of tricks and concepts developed in FPSB's laboratory, but I do not have any time for that, so I think a simple topic with links and little descriptions of what we are doing (or what we were doing) in FPSB's laboratory could be useful.
First, I want to present swivels tricks. That is a project I developed months ago. This was a new notation to describe easily tricks with the pen passing from palm to backhand (or from backhand to palm), using one finger to pass. For example, during a twisted cobra bite, the pen go from the backhand to the palm and pass on the pinky.
A complete notation was developed, but it has not been translated in english for the moment. If some can read french, here is two links to understand this notation :
http://thefpsb.penspinning.fr/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=2006 , article written on FPSB
http://wiki.penspinning.fr/index.php5?title=Swivel , article in FPSB's wiki
Swivel tricks are really useful; a lot have been used during the WT (for example, at the end of eriror's combo, R4). Because of this new notation, others swivels were discovered. You can see some of them in this video I made 2 months ago :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI19-gmxHiM
Now, here is some new tricks developed in FPSB's laboratory :
bend tap, from Smile :
article : http://thefpsb.penspinning.fr/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=2008
video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=FR&hl=...p;v=108ulXmffXU
flick thumbaround, from Zoda :

video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI8FIrbVp1w...f=67&t=1578
soft tap, from Lindor :
article : no article for the moment
video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIZjHAnwmzE
(an other version of this trick, invented by Fratleym, is bringing the mod between two fingers like 1-3 or 2-4, and using the finger between the others (2 or 3) to make the pen turn; you can see something like that in the video which does present the sidespin, at 1:00, named side wiper).
Some fist tricks and spinder tricks, from Lindor :
article : no article for the moment
video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=FR&hl=...p;v=BePOlPmKedY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=FR&hl=...p;v=kQp6EzkjCFs
these video are really old, I developed a better notation for these tricks, I will maybe post it in the future.
Finaly, I ask for the permission to create a similar topic in "advanced tricks and combo", because I think others pen spinners could find some things useful... -

Project name: Magnuss Effect
Project leader: Freeman
Project description: As you may know, the Magnuss effect is commonly observed in many sports where a ball spins, such as soccer, tennis, ping pong, baseball...
So it's possible to give this effect to a pen? The only we need is a pen spinning [in the air] around the axis that goes from one end to the other; and a pressure on his body, that could be given by a finger.
Why? Theoretically is possible, so practically would give a new dimension to aerials (and maybe to other tricks).
