About 4 years ago a classmate came and showed me a trick and then I looked on youtube and I liked it a lot and I started relatively quickly and I learned the basic tricks and after 3 months after I discovered pen spinning until a month ago I have not grabbed pen and now I've started again and try hard tricks like double reverse charge, twisted sonic multiple bust consider myself somewhere between advanced begginer and I have a pretty combo nice and fast and I learn interesting style but do not know why but I feel that as we had a date I can not practice like I have no motivation and it pisses me off! I think something like an idea to me come to practice with motivation and pleasure!

Ahh Awesome!! I started about 2 weeks ago :) soo yeah I'm a NEWB :P I always new Penspinning existed, but never new what it was called, but like 2 weeks ago I ran into a video that showed how to do the twisted sonic, and I started from there :) :thumb: -

I have a great tip for you to not do my mistake! Learn all the tricks to master them Learn reverse of all this tricks Even if you do not feel like practicing a minimum of 2 hours with small breaks water etc ... After you have learned perfectly normal and reverse tricks you can grab the twisted sonic bust 12-12 shadow, neobak, normal and reverse double charge! At first i do not learn charge reverse and now I can't continue some combos because of this it is important to learn the reverse of all tricks!: D

Nearly 2 years and advanced. From my personal experience don't be afraid to go down a path that nobody else does, that's how I got my style of spinning, even if some think it is ugly ^^.

Haha lol. I don't have a schedule for spinning, I just spin whenever. So I don't progress as much as I don't really practise linkages and combos. -

About a year and a few months now and I feel intermediate. The key is to just keep learning new tricks and be VERY persistent ^.^ Good luck with the spinning carreer =)!!!

@Zombo How long have you been spinning? Has it been more than 10 years? About 2 years, but nobody on UPSB has seen me spin yet:sofa:. My first 4-6 months were really slow, I used a BIC mod and pencil with rubber bands so I spun like a 1 year spinner. I am also terrible at modding, I messed up making a MSXA twice out of three times:banghead:
