    I would like to say that I'm not new to pen spinning, but am new to any pen spinning forums. I thought myself the thumbaround and the charge. I had no idea there were pen spinning tutorials or forums at that. I just discovered it in my boredom during school a little less than a year ago. I'm looking to increase what I know and to get materials I need. I have only thought myself a sonic in the day I was here, now I'm working on trying to get a simple fingerpass down, but can't get my pinky. My index finger grabs it instead of my pinky. Any tips? Thank you all

    Thanks for your hospitality. I won't forget to ask you if I have any questions. You seem very knowledgeable. Thanks for the tips, and I know that practice bit a lot. Practice is probably the key.

    Welcome =) And keep at the fingerpass, it took me a good month or two to nail down the fluency =)

    Do you think it would be a good idea to work on another trick while I learn the fingerpass? If so, what should be my next trick after all the fundamentals?

    Working on another trick helps a lot, but try not to work on too many tricks at the same time. If you didn't work on the fundamental reverses I recommend doing so. If you already know them I suggest you work on tricks like shadow, fingerless thumbaround and its reverse, arounds, and hybrid tricks like the twisted sonic. You can also follow this: http://www.upsb.info/forum/index.php?showtopic=6500 @shoeman6 it still gives an idea on what tricks to learn

    Definitely!

    I would suggest taking a look at any of the following tricks/hybrids: The reverses of the fundamentals. Indexaround Twisted Sonic Thumbspin Fingerless Thumbaround Inverse Sonic Infinity Normal

    I will watch it even if I don't need ideas. I like seeing how everybody views things themselves. Some people point out tips that others don't. I also improve on tricks as I watch them being performed. I won't hesitate, and thanks.
