    i have no clue, he has no clue, and you have no clue, philosophers have pondered that question for eons, alas no definite answer has been arrived at. the point eludes us as humans, perhaps one day we will uncover the point, who knows?

    . <- this is the point. Sorry, but i HAD to do that. Anyways, there really is no point. It's a hobby. What's the point of drawing? What's the point of sports? What's the point of videogames? You don't HAVE to do any of that stuff; there's no "point" in doing it. It's just another one of those things that you do for no reason.

    you should've answered, 'the point is to make people question the point of sports, art, hobbies, life and the universe itself *insert existential rant*' pen spinning has a lot of reasons for which people do it (kill time, get attention, boredom, interest, desire to get better etcetc), but to others, it may seem pointless (this applies for many other actions/activities too) zzz

    Whats the point of life???? To enjoy it right? Pen spinning is a way to enjoy life (and show off). Unless you're some type of super scientific person who says the point of life is to do... uhhh... something... and ensure the continuation of the human race. Then it's to..........ummm..........ensure that pen spinning doesn't die???

    I figured it out! If there was an imposter that looked just like you, you would have a pretty good way of showing your the real you. For an imposter to get pen spinning skills and a style like you isn't very likely at all. Pen spinning can have a use!

    I don't spin much in public because of haters, people who don't appreciate and people who ask stupid questions. But I think what you answered is the best. No better way to put it :)

    Penspinning is not just a hobby, as many people think. Those who are engaged in a "hobby" learn that it is not just a way to kill time, but it is an art that challenges their creativity and their skill.

    I do it to express myself, and to be my own person. Being part of such an underground culture is, in itself, an interesting thought when you've devoted real time to it. How many people per million are *real* penspinners? 2? 1? less? Oh, and it's fun.

    imo, its an individual pass time that can be done anywhere at anytime. there are very few that are like that also it is very addictive so I could not stop right now if I tried.

    Making friends, showing off, getting close to girls, curing boredom in class, feeling a little better about yourself, having fun, distracting yourself from studies, injuring yourself in the eye... etc etc... Really there's no real answer for "what's the point for penspinning" =D
