    Hey guys and gals, So about 1-2 years ago I was sucked Into a fascination with pen spinning when I saw mybuddy riince do it over a Skype call. This led to me watching tons of videos and reading a lot about the art. The funny thing was when I singed up I had the intention to learn but instead after 1 week I took my pen stuck it in a drawer and gave up. Last week an old buddy passed me on 8 of his pens before he moved out of state. I want to actauly take it serious this time like I did when I learned how to spin poi. Enough with the story my name is Michael I'm from Hollister California. Im a college student and I'm currently working at the home depot :-) Just felt like after 2 years wishing I could spin its about time I pick up that MX and get to it :-)

    since 2012 not alot got the charge down and TA and sonic thats about all I did before I threw the pen in the drawer and picked my poi back up. ATM im trying to relearn those 3 and ill probably try to do what I did with poi and try and push for a tick a week. Basically 4 tricks a month and at the end of month try them in a combo and just keep moving on and working on things i need to perfect or get a better grasp at. As of now my charge looks like a hot dog falling out of a bun 2 years of not doing it messed me up kinda wish i never stopped and would of just kept going with it.

    Hmm, it's pretty bad for someone who started 2 years ago but then again, you weren't spinning for 2 years. In any case, it is a good start. Your fingers have not forgotten the motion of the pen, pretty soon they will remember. Another question if you don't mind, What mods do you have?

    I basicly gona say I started yesterday so that way from last night on I can track my noon progress threw the tricks. It will be 1 - 2 weeks before I feel I'll get the fundamentals down again like I said my pen skills are a hot mess. Basicly from 2 years to today would be day 9 of spinning 2 years ago just marked the day I joined the site and gave up lol.
