i started pen spinning after i saw my friend goraikou do sonic and TA. We both found a website and started learning more. its been 10 months already =D

well basically i was in school, and me and my best friend (at that time) saw this kid doing TA harmonic and we thought it was pretty cool. Then, my friend asked him how he did it and he showed us. Of course if your friend is practising the TA normal (sitting right next to you) then you also practise since he was doing it. Then, after i finished learning TA normal and reverse, i wanted to know if there were more tricks that i could learn, and sure enough, i searched "pen spinning" on youtube and saw sooooooo many other tricks that were possible XD Some random youtube video recommended UPSB forum, and here i am now after 20 months of very casual pen spinning.

Let's see...somewhere in the late school year of 2009 (april or something) My dad showed me that he could do thumbaround, of course... he did it a different way ._. and used his finger to support the momentum, but then i got interested and tried it, and got it after 5 minutes of spinning the pen too lightly or too hard, then i gave up xD, saw Jae Jeong(Goldstars) do sonic and twisted sonic and such with an mmx, i asked him how he did that and all he showed me was a thumbaround...and then i did it and he said "what the heck" Long post is long? :D oh and then he made me my FIRST MMX :O of course...i thought those were cool at the time ._.

Some kids at my school starting taking up psing but eventually quit after a few months. I started to get more interested in it so I found UPSB and started.

started back in highschool '05 I think some guy in my class was awesome at it the pen just flies all over his hand, he did coin tricks too and now into card tricks needless to say I spent the next two years playing with my pen in class and learnt a few basic stuff off him like the thumb harmonic and used to lurk this site and superhandz.com (it needs a login now?).. till I got bored with it and just spin unconsciously Till today, I was falling asleep in a boring lecture when I saw someone in front of me doing sonic harmonics (the reverse part which I could never do!) and posting on this board I was like "woahhh that brings back memories" I suspect it was Kari-Chan but I could be wrong :P

I have absolutely no idea. I'd heard of pen spinning a few times, but I'd never seen it. I spontaneously youtubed it in 7th grade and started learning from Eso. I still don't know what made me think of it.

well basically i was in school, and my best friend (at that time)[XxArray] told me him and his friends were starting this psing thing, and i thought it was pretty cool. Then, i asked his other friend to see his mod [ISAQ] and he was like back the fuck off nigro. then i started to learn the funds, and mastered them in like a week or so. i searched "pen spinning" on youtube and saw sooooooo many other tricks that were possible XD Some random youtube video recommended UPSB forum, and here i am now after 5 months of very serious pen spinning.

My teacher. I always saw her doing the charge with her pen in GR 5, and one day, I asked her how she did the charge (I called it the spinner-ing pen thingy-meh-bobber trick) and she agreed to show me how to do it. I then stayed inside one recess with her in the staff room spending an hour with her learning how to do it. (that was alright cuz my teachers were awesome outside of the classroom.) Then she gave me hot chocolate, and we grew as friends (weird, huh?) learning pen spinning together. And then I faithfully and determinedly practiced the charge, and now I can execute it in perfection for 30 seconds.

I saw WT07 Final battle and fell in love! The music, the spinning, EVERYTHING. I absolutely adored PS-728's combo! In fact, I'm gonna go copy it now :p What I love about pen spinning at the moment is the infinite amount of linkages possible (which is why Vicgotgame is my favorite spinner).

What started it for me was a video recommendation of Eriror on you tube about a year and a half ago. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPnzqXx055Y After seeing that I was like "Hey that is really cool!", and after that I built a crap pen mod and started practicing.
-
Date: Fri, Aug 27 2010 22:21:28
My cousins can all do atleast one COOL trick while I was left behind with a laggy gay fingerpass, then my cousin taught me the sonic and now, i surpassed them! :hah:

-
Date: Sun, Aug 29 2010 02:25:12
I started penspinning during my whole school year, not even knowing it was actually called penspinning. I just thought spinning the pen around seemed cool. All I did was what I though was a thumbaround. When I thought I had mastered it, I searched "penspinning" on Youtube, and found out I had been doing it wrong all along. I had pushing the pen with my index finger instead of pushing it with my middle finger. So I practiced doing it the right way for about a week, and eventually I got the hang of it. I also found out about mods, and since I've been using a regular pencil/pen, when I built my Bictory, it seemed really smooth and awesome. And that's my short penspinning story.
-
Date: Sun, Aug 29 2010 03:30:40
well my dad showed me the TA and my friends were doing the charge, so i ended up going on youtube and learning them both.
-
Date: Sun, Aug 29 2010 03:38:48
Man, watching some of these videos makes me actually want to start spinning again.
-
Date: Tue, Oct 12 2010 00:22:51
I started spinning 2007(6th grade)...I was just looking for "how to make a pen gun" .30 minutes after, I saw this video called "JapEn - Japanese Collaboration Video" and then, I checked it out, it was pretty cool. but then, I just ignored it...I didn't pen spin at all. 3 days after, I saw it on Philippine news. they featured JaPen on Philippine Television. they showed charge, thumb around, tornado(pass), and back and fourth. I got so in to it, so...I pen spin. :D --->but I quit. but now,I'm back pen spinning again! :D

I've always loved card flourishing and sleight of hand. I found pen spinning and it appealed to me so I picked it up 3 days ago ^.^
-
Date: Tue, Oct 12 2010 22:18:06
Someone posted a video of a penspinning collab, it might have been JaPen, I thought it was cool but I didn't do anything with it. Later I remembered the video and googled pen spinning after I saw a receptionist doing thumbarounds, but I gave up. A few weeks after that I decided to pick it up and now I'm not TOO bad.

Date: Wed, Oct 13 2010 02:51:17
Friends and I was on youtube one day and saw a thumbspin that went on forever. 'nuff said.

Date: Wed, Oct 13 2010 23:42:45

-
Date: Fri, Oct 15 2010 05:05:35
:D I started around October of 2007, but at the time, I was in 8th grade, and I was only doing charges, thumbarounds, and sonic rises and all the boring shit. I was inspired by my pal ricky, where I first saw his spinning during band XD, and now he is my bestest pal in the world, and I love him so and we continued pen spinning as we went through to high school. As we got better, I saw that our styles grew differently as his spinning is more quick, varied, and consistent, as mine was more focused on smoothness and difficulty. I started getting serious around January of this year, where I got into pen modding, and started learning more and more varied tricks and linkages. I guess now I have the skill of a 10 month pen spinner, even though I've been spinning for 3 years XD
-
Date: Fri, Oct 15 2010 07:15:26
i started pen spinning when i saw the japEn 1 vid on my friends ipod. I then learnt the charge and thumbaround and was content with just doing them for 2 years, Then i started to seriously pen spin again and i managed to learn the sonics, reverse charge, reverse thumbaround, sonic rise and fall, twisted sonic, fingerless thumbaround in about a month
-
Date: Sat, Nov 13 2010 16:50:00

-
Date: Tue, Jan 11 2011 01:29:04
Well, in seventh grade i was taught the TA, i never thought much of it, until two years later in the summer of august 2010, i saw penspinning basics by rukariorey, the video still holds a special place in my heart lol

Date: Tue, Jan 11 2011 01:43:17
I first saw my friend in my Middle School do a charge, and I'm like I WANNA DO DAT! So I was practicing it myself, and I finally got it and I was really happy for like Half a month just with a charge (LOL) (and later I found out that I was doing the Charge REV not the charge lol) Then in my Jap school, I see my friend do a TA and the sonic, then I learned the TA by myself, then the Sonic. Sonic, I had to look up on google "pen tricks" then i found websites with descriptions. Then it said "Sonic" and I'm like WTF sonic??? Wat kind of name is this?? And even more of Pen Tricks have a NAME???(LOL) And after I learned the Sonic Rise, I stopped learning tricks until 2010, end of October. This guy in high school did the Sonic Rev, and I wanted to learn the Sonic Rise Fall Harmonic. Then i found ppl like eso, Ktrinth93 and ppl like dat. Then following links on YouTube, I found many tricks, and again, I'm like WTF there's this many tricks?????? Then i SOMEHOW ended up on FPSB 3rd, then Bonkura Solo videos. Those videos really got me in to Penspinning because it was COMPLETELY different than wat I thought was Penspinning (AKA TAs, and Sonic rise)
-
Date: Tue, Jan 11 2011 14:38:28
Browsing some drumming forums, a topic was created there asking if you could do some tricks with a drumstick that you could with a pen. The linked videos were on Kam's old Pentix site, I got really intrigued by the whole thing. Got linked to UPSB from Kam's site, realized that there was a whole subculture for this kind of thing, registered for an account. Bam.
-
Date: Sat, Jan 15 2011 16:48:16
I wanted to search something on google but I forgot what it was. Then I don't know how the idea of pen spinning came across my mind and I searched it. I learned the TA from a tutorial on ehow but after some time I found the UPSB wiki and forum.
-
Date: Sun, Jan 16 2011 05:37:34
Let's see... Back in March 2010 I was at a fundraiser with a whole bunch of friends. One of them had a pen that looked like a baton and he was throwing it up in the air aimlessly. I thought it was cool so I found one too. Spinz pens, anyone? So after that, I didn't know a single trick so I looked up tuts on youtube and found Eso's videos which linked me here. Then I made a signo tipped RSVP MX and that sold the deal. I've been hooked on penspinning for the past year.

1 year ago I saw my classmate who was doing the charge. Then I was like "WTF?" how does he do that? I asked him how to do it. Then after a couple of weeks i finally learned it. I searched in google pen spinning then I saw a vid entitled "Pen Spinning basics" by RukarioRey, I clicked it then I saw the name of trick I was doing. Then I found KTrinh93 videos I learned the TA. I stopped after that because I got bored since that was the only tricks I was able to do. Then after a year I remembered pen spinning, I looked it up again then i found pen mods, other tricks. I went to this wordpress for penspinning, then it lead me to UPSB. That was when I started spinning seriously. Then I found my country's PS community. I made my first MX. Then I ordered a Buster CYL after 6 months.

I just saw penspinning videos on the web and I liked it and I thought giving a try. And I did. Yesterday I succeeded thumbaround twice but nothing more. It it VERY hard just to make the pen spin on my thumb, no way I can talk of backaround stuff. Hope I'll learn more soon.

Date: Fri, Dec 16 2011 14:38:20
Personally I saw it on facepunch, learned the thumbaround and thought nothing more about it. I came back like a year later and started picking up tricks like crazy. I am now probably the reason a whole bunch of new spinners are going to end up here, my personal pen mods I use are catching the attention of people and they try and make their own good looking mods. That double sided Z-grip one of them showed me was damn good too... They don't know any tricks, but I told them to come here, so hopefully we'll see some new spinners.

there was a giant fad about thumbarounds and simple tricks when i was in sixth grade. the eigth graders were all like, "i can do this, so im cool. you cant, so your not." kind of deal, so EVERYONE had to learn how to do thumbaround, or face being a nobody... LOL. anyhow, people were buying mods left and right, and someone even offered me a "KT" mod and a "Dr. KT" mod. i asked what the difference was, and he didnt even know. (There is no "KT" mod, btw. it's just a marker.) and so i was genuinely fascinated by these tricks, and wanted to learn. I have a buddy whom i am always trying to level out with; im better at linkages, him better at power tricks. and so here i am. penspinning is dead at school now... ;-;

Ahaha, you must be new here. Seriously, if you want to get girls, then do it directly, because people's opinions on penspinning are mixed. It's better to do it for fun like with most things in life. -

I actually saw a guy in the class next door to me when I was in high school pen spinning. He was fascinatingly good, and I filmed a good minute of him. I've been thinking about that guys' crazy hands for at least the last 6 years now, and I just kind of randomly got the itch to start spinning myself, so here I am. :)

I watched an episode of Super Sentai three years ago, where the main characters were PSing~ I didn't actually get into PS until this year, though, mainly because I never really tried. XD I'm still pretty new to it all, I guess?

I was in high school and Great teacher Onizuka had just come out. One of the characters, Urumi Kanzaki, was doing a thumb around. I looked it up online and practiced in every class. I then slowly learned the sonic and charge. That was 11 years ago. Only this year did I decide to become more skilled.

i started pen spinning when i was 14 i guess that was when i first learnt TA from my friend.Then i learnt TA rev and so i master ta harmonic. then i thought thats all for pen spinning (TA and TA rev). But then i was wrong, i realised that there are sonic, fingerpass, infinity etc... By the time, i was 17 and i started to learn all the fundemental tricks and advance tricks. Its been 3 months now and i am currently learning Hai Tua... Thats all for me

I saw a car commercial where a guy is spinning a pen (maybe an rsvp) so I looked pen spinning up on youtube. The first thing that came up was WT 2010 I idolized Peem. Then I found out how to do some of those things with tutorials by alfreeman. I showed pen spinning to some kids at my school and now about 30 people can pen spin, but 15 of them can only do the fundamentals.^_^

I was on a group trip to UK when a korean spinner taught me the thumbaround and showed me some JEB collab. I bought a giant pencil and practiced with it. I never found out what his username was. His name was minsoo. Anyone know him?

my exam invigilator was doing TA harmonic because he was bored (he's a terrible invigilator). and because i was sitting right in front of him and IT WAS SO DISTRACTING. i gave up on checking my work and stared at him do TA harmonic and tried to figure it out for the rest of the exam :P

I saw a guy on some commercial doing fingerpasses. I didn't know the official name so I just tried to practice from memory. After I mastered it and got it smooth, I just went on google and typed in "pen spinning" and it turned out that there was the sonic. I learned it, but then I stopped. In the school I was in, no one except me pen spinned (coincidence?- i was one of the few asians in my school) so when I did my fingerpass and charge combo people thought it was amazing so I had to urge to go further. I did the same 2 tricks for about 5 months. When i moved to my new school, half the school was asian and almost everyone knew how to charge or ta. I was the only one who could fingerpass. Then it turned out my friend could do the sonic rev and shadow and sonic rise, so it gave me the urge to learn tricks again. I'm currently trying to master all the reverses of the fundamentals and learn a few other tricks along the way. So far, I'm one of the best in my grade, but considering im in 8th grade and no one actually tries except for a few people, I can only feel accomplished in my own mind compared to all you guys.

o man i started pen spinning about 6 years ago when i asked my dad about the pencil flippy thing he always does. turns out it was a thumbaround. from there i saw my student teacher doing charge so i picked it up pretty quickly. i already did stuff like yoyo and diabolo and speedstacks and cubing so hand manipulation wasnt somethin too new to me, but i got into like serious pen spinning when i first picked up a spinz axis from wal mart.

French exchange students are to blame. And Galileo, the german tv-show with its presentation of the first German Gathering. And so i googled and ended up with DontKnows tutorials and wondered, if I would be ever so good. And yeah now here I am, lol.

A friend of mine talked to me on MSN and he said "hey, let's become penspinners lol". By that time I didn't knew at all about penspinning, so I checked the url he sent me (SPSC) and I thought "Hm, why not." after lurking for some weeks, I decided to register and start penspinning. It's funny how I'm the admin of that site now lol (sun)

Was bored, and I broked up from my gf. Got nothing to do because of that :rofl: Saw @Axeeeel (his real name is Axel lol) and he started learning ps-ing). Quite confused on what he was doing. So I asked "What's that?". He replied "Penspinning". Then I was quite interested. So I started using his mod when he wasn't using it. Tried to join the forum. Then I met new people, bought a Buster on Gathering lolololol. Then I started learning tricks and stuff until now. ^_^
