    For those of you who have been pen spinning a long time. If you could start all over again what would you change? What would you have worked on more from the beginning? Would you have started with a different pen? Would you have practiced more or differently? I've heard answers like "I wish i would've worked on my fundamental reverses more". So i'm just curious what you guys have to say.

    i wouldn't change anything. the only thing i'm sad is that i can't bust at all. (fail @ the third or fourth bust)

    I would have focused on my fundamental tricks more. I tried to jump to the harder tricks like BB spin, Spiderspin, Sidespin, when I didn't focus on tw. sonics and variations, baks and infinties. It took me so long o learn those similar tricks when I tried to learn them after.

    I would have spent more time trying to get smooth. When i first started, I thought , "Hey, that's a cool trick, I'll learn it" Then once i got the trick, i went on to another trick without practicing getting stuff smooth. I would have done that back then, instead of now. But eh, ive been practicing smoothness and better linkages for a few weeks now, I've really improved =D. but yeah, i wish i had done that earlier....

    Learn both hands at the same time, learning reverses and linkages earlier as well.

    I would've NOT started with a kt :facepalm: and I would have worked on fundamental reverses more.

    I probably would have started learning with my non-dominant hand earlier as well as started thinking about linkages earlier, but other than that I don't feel that there's much I could have changed in my psing foundation to make me significantly better than I am now.

    I'm really happy with the way I developed my spinning. I don't think I would of changed anything. Ohhh maybe a bit less time on style an d a bit more time on links/creativity

    I would do quite similar, but not completely. E.g. I wouldnt spin with those crappy mods I spun with for half a year, when I got my first KT, which was really an improvement. Also I wouldn´t "destroyed" my very first pen. That was just a Super Pirat with two plastic-tips and weird grips but sometime I shortened it for some idiotic reason <_<
