    Hi all , i've been penspinning in class recently and i noticed i really cant understand anything if am penspinning ,[ even tho am listening to the teacher and watching the whiteboard]
    when i am penspinning i really cannot concentrate, my mind goes to Eso's tutorials or Eriror and Bonkura;s video on youtube dry.gif i dont why but i really cant,
    when for simple tricks like double thumbaround etc , has this ever happend to you ? most of the spinners i know cannot concentrate, so when the teacher talk we usually dont spin at all laugh.gif


    Another thing i found which is IMPOSSIBLE for me to do is do thumbaround or charge with left hand and write with right hand , is that possible? anyone managed to do it? huh.gif [ am right-handed for write and i can use both hands to spin laugh.gif ]


    So hows yours? come on POST tongue.gif

    1. I don't have issues concentrating. I can... multitask?
    2. I can only do continuous tricks while i write with right hand and spin in left hand.

    so no thumbarounds, but i can do fingerpasses and triangle passes and charges etc etc

    Well,,, same with Teddy, i can do multitasking.
    My brain using 2 Core 2 Quad Processor.... Haheho.

    I can concentrate with my study while pen spinning.
    Just try to make pen spinning as a joyful thing,
    so you can do PSing more relaxing.

    For me I have no problem spamming and doing other things at the same time.
    But practicing combos or learning tricks, I don't think I can focus on other things will except the pens!

    So my guess is, if you are used to doing something, you tend to need lesser concentration while doing that particular thing.

    I can focues even when I'm practising new combo (I practise combos on class smile.gif)
    dunno, I always can focuse on more than one thing.

    I freestyle while paying attention in class but sometimes, I just simply turn all my attention to the lesson..or pen spinning.

    My pen went flying once and almost hit the teacher...

    I fail at multi-tasking. I have an attention span of 2 minutes while pen spinning so I can't spin and learn at the same time.

    if i bring my ST to the AP test, its game over for me XD

    I'm noticing these days that I just space out sometimes while I'm spinning...
    Then I have to force myself to snap out of it and concentrate sad.gif

    I find it challenging to do this.
    cause I watch the board and spin too so its kinda fun.
