    Just joined UPSB due to a recent interest in pen spinning. I know a few basic tricks (ie. Sonic, TA, TA Reverse, Charge), any suggestions on where I should go from here?

    Learn only the fundamentals and their reverses first, especially charge reverse. Really good for you.

    Try to use light mods more often.

    Cheers guys. Another question: how long does it take, on average, to get to a level where you can successfully execute combos and even try and create your own tricks? And what are some good first combos to be learning?

    just spin as much as you can!!! learn all of your fundamentals ffwd and rev, watch lots of videos of other spinners......... dont give up, sometimes youll think a trick is impossible, or that maybe your fingers wout do something you wnat them to, but trust me . you WELL get the trick, and your FINGERS well move the way you want them to , if you dont give up and practice !!!!!!!!! just have fun with it! cause thats whats its all about ...... hope this helps, i just wanted to put my 2 cents in :P

    try my combo. breakdown: Charge 2-3 > Fake Double > Pass 1-2-3-4 > Twisted Sonic 3-4 > Pass Rev 3-2-1 > Twisted Sonic Rev 1-2 > Pass Rev 3-2-1 > Charge 1-2 > Fake Double Any comments?

    I see all these guys creating vids on YouTube and just randomly spinning... do they memorise these combos, or are they simply good enough to keep using tricks they know over and over in new sequences?
