    probably not. remember if penspinnning can't get "mainstream" in walmart, it won't get mainstream at a university shop. psing is really just too hard to become mainstream I thought that was a balisong at first lol

    To be honest I think pen spinning's made it... somewhat mainstream, it's just different how prevalent and to what extent it is. I've seen tons of people doing charges and thumbarounds and basically the fundamentals in all of my classes so far. They might not know what pen spinning is, but it spreads like cancer :). For instance, I know at least 100 people learned the fundies or already knew them in middleschool when I discovered pen spinning, your friend learns and they show their friends etc. etc. it diffuses quite rapidly. As for that... thing. Seems dangerous. :lol:

    LOL Nooooooooope, Chuck Testa. As Penwish said, it's very hard for pen spinning to get mainstream here in the US. They tried with Spinz gear if you heard of that brand, but it failed. [video=youtube;IGPAQdC4aRo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGPAQdC4aRo[/video] But you never know; pen spinning could suddenly become mainstream if it's associated with some fad and whatnot (e.g. viral videos).

    I think the volkswagon commercials did quite a bit for it's notability, more people can relate to it when you try to describe it, and the fact that there are high quality / well produced videos you can direct them too now, like the galaxy tab commercial instead of low quality webcam collabs :p I found this, So many things about this photo...

    doing charge and sonic is what asians do that is not really psing since they don't know psing people were doing that 15 years ago. i knew those things well before actual psing. Taking it to the next step where people know the community actually exists till it gets on par with y0y0ing cup stacking or card tricks is the hard part

    I was thinking the same too, because that oppa gangnam style is so popular.

    I've talked to a lot of people who've seen it and most people don't think it's real.

    You guys do realize you're sending messages through a universal pen spinning site. This seems a little mainstream to me....
