    Hello UPSB, So I was sitting here just thinking and spinning, practicing and what not, and came across an idea that I think is rather fun and interesting. We all want to be better spinners right? What if we made a game out of it? A game where everyone declares, at the beginning of the week, one trick, mini combo, concept, that they want to get better at. Let's say that I want to get better at spreads, so I'd film a little video 10-20 seconds of me doing my horrible spreads (trust me they are that bad) and then at the end of the week I'd film another video to show you how much I've practiced. I think if we had a bunch of people participating it could be a fun way of practicing and at the end we could all vote on who gained the most progress over the week. I think the great thing about this idea is that anyone can participate, it's not about how good you are now, it's about how good you're going to get, but it's not even a competition I feel like it could be a good motivating factor for any spinner. Plus we just need something positive, and it may also get our community to get some productive practice in. -sangara

    Sure, this'll help me a lot. :p I'm learning bakfall on my left hand atm. I probably won't get it within a week, but I can do all of them individually besides ring. I'll post a video as soon as I get home.

    I was thinking it would be more like a game if anything, plus this actually follows up with you... come to think of it this is nothing like the challenge thread. This is an entire system with like a 'winner' at the end of it.
