    First off I'm not sure if this is the right section but I think it is. I'm just starting to spin and I can already do a thumb around and this other thing idk what its called but I want to buy a pen made for spinning. I'm not sure what I should get. I want one that is great for learning but I can still use as I get better. I've looked at a few but still not sure. ps. I'm new to this so if your using abbreviations for pen stuff put what it means in parentheses so I can learn. Thanks, krinkelzz

    My advices is go to a Gather and test mods from other people look if you could find a few cool mods and buy it... but set a limit or you couldn´t stop buying ^^ I think ~20$

    Thanks for the response. I'm not sure though. I want to buy like a base pen. One meant for spinning from amazon or something. Should I get the rogue or ect.

    I suggest RSVP MX or Metal Comssa. You can get both at penwish.com

    NO wtf? Don't start with something so heavy. First of all the weight will actually inhibit the learning process for fundamental tricks because your hands won't be acustomed to such a heavy mod. Second you won't really need a buster until you get into busting and power tricks. Start out with sometihng light first

    Thanks everyone. Right now I dont have the parts and dont feel like buying one this second. I'm making my own mod with what I have around the house. I'm having trouble with finding something to put into a cap to weigh it down a bit though. I'll upload a picture when I'm done. Also how do you make an insert?

    you print one off with a colored printer, find an insert you like, then what I do is put it into MS word and adjust the zoom so the page it shows is the same size as a real piece of paper, then hold up my pen to the screen and adjust how big I need by eyeing it. then print it off and cut it out, you might want to leave a bit of white paper on the long edge, then roll it up around the ink tube and put it in your pen

    It really depends on what YOU think is easier to start learning tricks with. but w/e you have a point

    agreed with nacho, you SHOULDNT use a buster to learn thumbaround or such. well it SEEMS very easy to be learning fundamentals with a buster cyl but later your hands could only spin something heavy. when your an advance already , what are you going to spin ? a metal rod ? idont think so. conclusion : no busters

    start with an unsharpend pencil...then see if u can bust with it...when u can do that, then go get an rsvp mx/bictory and if u can some comssas (metal/normal)
