    What was your first trick and how long did it take you to learn it? I first trick was the sonic and it took ma about a week. It takes me a while to learn tricks.

    I'm not kidding here, but it wasn't thumb around. It was a random combo that my friend made up. Pass TF1-12 -> Pass 12-23 -> (pen kinda drops a bit) then... Neosonic 23-TF12. This is done starting from writing position. This took me a few weeks. 3 weeks I think. Then it was thumb around.

  25. Kodiak
    Date: Thu, Apr 12 2012 06:17:57

    Fingerpass, learned it before I knew it was a trick. Then after that I learned Charge, once again not knowing it was an official thing. I then came here.

  32. CastleMaster
    Date: Sun, Apr 15 2012 01:00:24

    My first trick was the thumbaround and it took me about 3-4 days to learn it. By then I was able to do it in about 90% of the cases, which seemed pretty good to me ;)

  33. Darealone
    Date: Mon, Apr 30 2012 20:39:43

    Thumbaround. Took me a day with HARDCORE practice.

  34. Enkronidus
    Date: Mon, Apr 30 2012 20:59:10

    If you count Fingerpass, I got the idea almost immediately. I am not sure which one came first between Sonic, Charge Reverse 12 or TA. I think it was Sonic, took me around 2-3 days. TA took me kinda long though, a week or two?

  35. Karrot
    Date: Mon, Apr 30 2012 21:12:22

    sonic, don't remember how long, about 3 days?

  36. Raage
    Date: Mon, Apr 30 2012 21:20:52

    I think TA was my first, it probably took me 20 minutes or so, not to say I'm good or anything.

  37. Joiemoie
    Date: Wed, May 2 2012 13:49:38

    Fingerless index around reverse (on accident). This was before I even knew what pen spinning was. I started doing it with a fork a lot and called it a fork trick...

  38. Saikeyo
    Date: Sat, May 19 2012 06:59:45

    My first trick was the charge :P. I accidentally did it all the time in fourth grade. That was back then before I knew how much more in-depth pen spinning was :P

  39. Eazy
    Date: Sun, May 20 2012 04:44:10

    Thumbaround, a few seconds..... i was 8 or 9 then, my hand did not do the so called "twisting motion", so succeeded in 2 or 3 tries =D had a TA master taught me =P

  40. Crouton
    Date: Mon, Jun 3 2013 04:57:33

    For me it was the thumbaround and it took me about 2 weeks until I could do it. I'm a slow learner. I've already been trying to master the thumbaround reverse for a week and haven't gotten anywhere yet.

  41. Walkaz
    Date: Tue, Jun 4 2013 13:15:36

    Date: Mon, Jul 8 2013 18:05:58

  53. PERSIST
    Date: Mon, Jul 8 2013 19:16:46

    Thumbaround. To actually do my first thumbaround took about 1 or 2 hours of practice, but to actually do it consistently took about a month.

    Date: Thu, Jul 11 2013 18:16:50

    So long ago, at least 10 years now, so I don't remember anything aside from the thousands of times I dropped my [mechanical] pencil in class trying to learn the Thumbaround and how many times the girls in the class would yell at me... >_< Now I never drop it on a Thumbaround, though I mostly stick with Thumbspins, since the 1 revolution just feels weird to me now.. :P

  61. MarcusPS
    Date: Tue, Aug 27 2013 10:33:36

    after i taught my sister, she did it 2 times in a row 1st try with a random pencil (~ 10cm long) wtf gg, too bad she's not interested in PS at all or she'll be prodigy of levels never seen in history...
