    I thought his style was so unique it had to have its own name. I'm so glad he took part in this collab!

    Thanks to everyone who took part! smile.gif

    This collab is pure pwnage... and finally i've seen a clip from fratleym that was actually interesting.
    I dont get the recent comments though, the most commented is icepray so far? but that doesnt matter..
    This collab was absolutely great, everyone did a great job spinning, except icepray... but i guess his part was important since thats what people likes here at upsb. And hey ... too bad mats didnt participate. sad.gif
    5 Stars!

    You can't really cover every single style in one collab...

    The second styles collab will try to cover those that were missed.

    I don't think Banz really has his own style though... huh(1).gif

    In all honesty, its hard to find DISTINCT styles. Either the pen goes either
    A.) Slow and Smooth
    B.) Fast and CRAZY
    C.) Consumed with Counter-tricks(Banz for ex:)

    Japanese style was never really a style, somebody just sort of said it was. Not proven or anything, same goes for European/Korean styles.

    I completely disagree with this statement. I think there are many kinds of spinning, from creative spinning such as that from Leviathon, to technical spinning as we see at the highest level from Erirornal. Comedy pen spinning that Icepray provided such a fine example of. Then there are palm up and palm down styles, as well as slow and smooth and fast and crazy that you mentioned. Some people have their own unique style such as Fratleym. There are lots of quite distinct styles out there.

    yea there are definitely very many styles. not just to do with using similar tricks or speed variations.

    while style could be just one person favoring a certain trick often, i think something else is very important in defining a style.
    a style has to do with two people, doing the same tricks, but it looking completely different. probably the most noticable example of this is of course bonkura.

    maybe i just have a different view on it because i watched alot of korean videos in my day and they all had the same tricks. but some just looked so different for me and distinguished themselves as favorites.

    I agree with both of the you about styles, it's all about how you do the trick, the position you spin the pen in (palm down etc...) What you do in your clip, but then I don't know if should be proud that I'm put in the style of comedy spinning or be somewhat embarassed because I'm just a lowsy spinner who falls off his chair quite offten ^^

    Definately be proud! I don't see anyone else who can make people laugh with their spinning videos. . .

    Icepray is amusing as ever smile.gif
    Fratleym has an amazing style, I can't help be remain awe-struck by it almost every single time.
    I loved Pentrixter's old school combo with the end aerial to stall thing. Very nice presentation of a now pretty rare style.

    It seems your collab went against what you'd normally expect. First part should have represented common styles: Korean, Japanese, European, perhaps include Fratleym and Old school as well, and then on the 2nd part all the other unique uncommon styles.

    Great collab, can't wait for the 2nd part smile.gif
