    what is it with the long nails? especially asians! does it help spin better?

  2. Tetsip
    Date: Mon, Jul 12 2010 17:02:39

    It's just the looks. i guess you can say that they add some flash to spinning. otherwise it doesnt effect how you spin

    i grow out my nails because my fingers are pudgy, and with long nails, i think they look slim... lol

    long nails are gross on guys. otherwise it disgusts me sometimes to see someone spinning with long nails, not saying shonen spins bad, because he rocks, but it doesnt help imo

    Ever seen Product's spinning? That's why people grow out their nails.

  6. Zkhan

    Well it becomes difficult to perform tricks that involve the fingertips like the triangle pass or basketball spin. Other than that it's just for looks.

    I try and grow out my nails on my right because my fingers are fat.

    Well. im currently growing out my nails right now but in general, you should be able to triangle pass with no problem even without nails. I dont use my nails D:

    It makes you spinning look smoother and better with long nails. But it doesn't actually make you better. Just looks like its better.

    spinning with long nails is awesome.. But i cant do some tricks with that.. Like triangle pass..

    I have an average hand, I'm just growing out my nails because i think it looks nice while spinning

    i think its easier to spin pens with longer nails but thats just my opinion.. no long nails = omg look @ me Fail :D

  25. Elfoo

    It's just a esthetic issue. I like, but some people don't. Especially the pointy long nails.

    My nails suck ass and start cracking and chipping when they get long.

    for me it's just annoying in my real life... i mean: penspinning isn't life... and afterall it's not very easy to do trianglepasses with long nails :P

  32. Knightpal
    Date: Mon, Oct 18 2010 06:13:00

    When my nails start to get long it gets more difficult to Penspin. It really depends on the person.

    having long nails makes your hand sexy IMO. but it's not good when you do tri pass and basketball spin.. just like stuhl said. Long nails looks appealing :D

    If you're able to grow your pinky nail long and sexy, TREASURE IT LIKE FUCK. It's the slowest growing nail on your body.

    Only weiner as fools do, real stoners pack it down with their fingers. You end up getting a callus on the end of whatever finger you use the most. Most people grow pinky nails so that they can do a bump up cocaine or some other upper without putting a line out or having a little spoon. OT I grew mine out, its cruise control for some style, but they get so damned dirty that I can't deal with knowing that all that stuff is underneath there. and people always are like, "dude clip your nails". They just don't get it. Whatever, short nails for me.

    i grew my thumb nails out reallly long. lol but then i cut them because i wanted to see if it would make a difference with triangle passing. and yah i could execute it better. but anyway my nails were looooong. lol like 1 3/4 inches?

    Having a long thumb nail is like a pocketknife you can carry everywhere. I open plastic wrappers of food and stuff using that. Longest I've ever kept is 6mm. My nails are always clean and white :3

  47. Twine
    Date: Wed, Jun 15 2011 08:17:53

    Lol @Krypton . Very true o___0 The longest my nails ever got were 8mm of white. Although this isn't soooo bad considering my nail beds end quite a bit below the actual end of my finger. Lol, it's this vid where they are 8mm: [video=youtube;XEUCvlY-Azc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEUCvlY-Azc[/video] Lol instant style cruise control :D

    I was actually just wondering about this the other day. It's good to know there is no benefit to long nails for spinning. Personally I can spin very well when my nails are long.

    i think it adds SOOO much style to spinning but it only looks nice for spinning or on a girls hand wat is a guy gonna do with long nails in life? become some nail expert spending their life on other peoples nails? im growing mine out but i think i will have to cut it due to all the sports i play

    A guy with long nails (@esp) has no friends and uses his nails to finger his asshole for pleasure.

  79. Ryst

    Haha. I was under the impression that people grew nails to elongate(?) their hands during spinning.

  82. Krypton
    Date: Thu, Jul 28 2011 08:26:14

    @Elune that's just mind-blowingly insane. The longest I've kept is 6mm and was forced to chop them because of school.

  83. browndog12
    Date: Thu, Jul 28 2011 08:35:45

    @Krypton, i think youre talking about just the white part. i measure from the very base at the cuticle :P

  84. Krypton
    Date: Thu, Jul 28 2011 09:01:18

    @browndog12 Everyone measures nails by the whites ._. If you want to measure it this way, my longest set of nails would be 1.8cm.

  85. Ryst
    Date: Thu, Jul 28 2011 09:17:19

    Since its summer now, I've finally been allowed to keep my nails ( No school?) Theyre 1.2 cm now and I want to keep them like this. Too long nails imo doesnt look so nice.

  86. Elune
    Date: Thu, Jul 28 2011 09:51:40

    Yeah about 2cm or so is ok imo ... Longer nails do not add any beauty at all xD

  87. ricesi

    I don't really see the point of long nails. It takes too long, and I don't really see a difference in the spinning. I don't really think it's ugly, but I don't think it looks good either.

  96. Elune
