General Discussion / Pen spinning at our school is blowing up!(40 people)

Date: Sat, Feb 4 2012 03:03:36
Pen spinning started at our middle school in San Diego after spinners @jet, who are in high school, influenced my friend to spin, which caused a whole new chain of spinners. We have about 40 spinners now after a couple months of spinning, 30 being complete noobs and 10 being just beginners. Hopefully more and more people will spin.

And not cool when you place apostrophes in the wrong place! Ontopic: I only got like 3 other people to spin in my school, who soon dropped it. That wasn't an intended pun. Actually, they dropped both.

Mine too. Last year in my school there were only 2 spinners, me and my friend, and it eventually became 11. 9 of us moved on to the same secondary school, and 2 went to other schools. Now the 9 spinners are spread among the classes, and there are now LOADS of spinners most of them can only do TA and Charge :)) It's still cool though xD

I'm the only real spinner, a few know the TA because I taught them and I have a cult following watching me spin and asking me how to do it. They never learn xD. A good friend of mine I gave my old bictory to though because he wanted to learn and I pointed him towards the penspinningonline tutorials.

Date: Mon, Feb 6 2012 22:08:35
People in my school know how to ps, but only either charge or ta, or both. Then everyone thinks they're so good because they know thumbaround and charge and start showing off. Now almost everyone in my class is trying to learn ta and charge. Only me and someone else in my class are real pen spinners in our school.
-
Date: Thu, Feb 9 2012 11:22:29
People in my school...they can do a half-TA, of sorts? They really just flip the pen. XD Some people can do the actual TA and Charge, but other than myself, I only know one other preson who can do more than just TA.

damn right. i know 3 people IRL who got into it and i had to repeatedly mash it into their brains that," regardless of what you heard or saw, YOU KEEP SPINNING THIS DAMN GRIPLESS BICTORY IF YOU WANNA BE PRO!! yes my pen is heavy... do an inverse shadow fall and then you can have one." one of them is already a lost cause... he mad a personal mod thats heavier than a VGG and thinks slowmo busts is cool shit -
Date: Fri, Feb 10 2012 06:06:03
Hmm there are 6 casual spinners in my year level. 2 has a Zhigao, 1 has Buster, 1 has Bictory, 1 has Ayatori G3, last spinner has a Black Comssa with tips. And in the year below me, there are probably 10 kids with pen mods. And the year above me, there are 2 guys with Busters. But none of them are on UPSB and they all can't do combos >_>

Last year I showed the thumb around and basketball spin to a kid in school, who showed another kid, until about 20 knew but by then I was getting good. Now about 35-40 kids pen spin. But only 5 are in my class, but 20+ kids that pen spin are in another class:(. Only about 5 can do more than the fundamentals.

that is the same with me, I've only seen the other person do ta harmonic and charge though, but it's so annoying when they flip the pen and when I tell them it's wrong, they tell me to show them, and then they say it looks the same, but it's completely different!!! -

Yeah... The most annoying thing is that the people on my left AND right send the pen flying when they flip it, and I keep getting hit. :( On another note, it seems as though ALL the teachers can do TA, TA rev and TA harmonic (they spin those fat stubby markers when thinking). -

I don't get hit but they make such load noises and the pen keeps flying over to my desk and every 10 second I have to pick it up for them -

Lots of people in my school can do the thumbaround, they just don't research about pen spinning to learn other tricks.

Yep, that's the same with my school (except some of them know charge too) They're too lazy I think. They don't even know it's called "pen spinning" they call it "pen twirling" or something -

I hate multi-spinners. The teachers got so pissed off at the 40+ spinners in the grade, they completely banned it from the grade. If you were to spin a mod or bring in a mod, the teachers would take it, and give you afterschool detention... son of a...

Trololololol, I go to your school, and I see all these beginner first years... It's so cute! They get like two bics and attach them with grips. What irritates me is seeing all these complete noobs with Buster CYLs and KTs when they can't do crap :P

I never saw a girl from my class spinning...only boys

Lololz there are people who called me pro because I did the fingerpass. Most people at my school only know the thumbaround, charge, or sonic. WHY NO FINGERPASS?? Also the people at my school considered "superamazingpros" are the people who can do shadows -_- I know a shit ton of tricks, at least compared to the people in my school, so I'm like a deity to them. There's probably 1 other person who's around the same or less skill level as me who spins busters, and a few who know all the fundamentals perfectly and a few other, but that's it.

Date: Sun, May 20 2012 04:34:30
Only I actually pen spin in my school, but i have a friend who can do shadow and tw bust and do simple combos. maybe one or two knows Extended TA, and the others know maybe sonic, tw sonic and TA.... and not surprisingly, all taught by me ==" Kinda boring really, spinning at school, maybe just to show off or when it get really boring during class or exam (learnt bakfall during history exam =P) And there is this one girl that pen spins, but then it took me about 7 months to teach her Thumbaround ==" She actually did thumbspin x 3 before she did thumbaround once.... That time, i went like O.O"

OMG 40 peopleat your school alone ps.... amazing At my school now only 2 spinners exist, my friend and I. Even tho my friend is still a 100% noob I still think its cool to see how he progressed. And I think that it is kinda sad that he has a better mod then I do..... (Using an MX)....

I hate when they ask you how to spin. They call it "that" and i think there was a whole thread about it, but they ask you how and then u show them a ta and then they start being REALLY annoying cuz they keep trying and drop their pen loud. Then once they get it they say, "What's next?" I used to have a few friends like 10 that spun but I moveda few hrs awayfrom them and then they quit when I left. :( Haven't found anybody since:(

I have a lot of Spinners in my school. Mostly, all know how to do Charge and ThumbAround. That's it. The more serious ones could do the other Fundamentals. I had a friend once who shared the same interest as me, but he quit after a few months due to CCA and his other interests. Currently, I am the only "Valid" Spinner.

and you're a fag who's a noob who can't even enter a wt or wc seriously, be nicer to other people...everyone's still learning, no reason to bully them just because you're slightly better (and you're still pretty low in the PS world, don't get ahead of yourself) of course, if they constantly pester you 24/7 asking 'how do i do this trick', it might be a bit different...but don't be an arrogant prick -

Yes constant pms asking me how to make BICtory where to get airfits where dr grips,and 6 months of TF rev charge really I mean seriously . And double charges 6 months he even switched his buster barrel for the pirat secretly "stealing" our mods . Wt wc? Not so fast at least im not stirring soup like they do.. I also dont think you were 7 months when u were in wc12. If someone were to come to your table while you are spinning and snatches your mod away and spamming double charge,you will feel what I feel . Not only that he slams my mod when im spinning it broke and he didnt even tried to do something or compensate . -

Sorry, I can't understand most of what you have written. But I feel that you should not treat spinners as 'wannabes', as everyone has their own learning speed. Instead, you should encourage them and teach them, you could even get them to help with your weekly linkage video (which I find pretty useful (sun)), once they are good enough. He probably stole your mods/broke them to vent his frustration because you tease him. Everyone started as a 'noob', its not about getting better in the shortest amount of time, its about how long you are willing to persevere. TF charge rev happens to be my favourite trick, why are you hating on it? -

you take my words too seriously, i was being sarcastic in my comment just insulting you with the same type of response you insulted your classmate with, and i see you don't like it very much do you? if you don't like it, please stop treating others in that way...if you don't want to answer repeated questions, just block him if he asks the same thing twice, simple watch your own mods then if you don't want them stolen, and don't let him use yours all your problems have simple solutions without having to bully someone else, idiot. -

Do you have the right to call someone else a Fag, AdiblueseaQQQ? Everyone learns at a different speed. He spammed those Tricks because he likes it, or he is trying to master it. Do you meant that someone who spammed those Tricks are a fag? You should not treat people differently even if they are of a lower Skill Level than you are. Respect others if you want them to respect you. Clearly, you are not giving them the respect. Lastly, don't forget you are still in a Tournament. I do not know if insulting others would get you disqualified from the Tournament if you are caught, but it's best to stay safe. I hope you learn something from all of us here. -

then let him say you're selfish, or give him a final judgment: if he asks more than X number of questions a day, say you won't reply any more. e.g. you allow him 5 questions a day. in the morning, he asks 'how to you do middlearound?', you teach him and then say 'you have now used up 1 of 5 questions for today' etc for later questions until 5 is reached -

I actually got in to pen spinning because of my English teacher earlier this year who did a TA Harmonic on a projector camera. I promptly learned the TA and Rev, then all of the fundamentals and some more advanced tricks, then I learned small combos and linkages. In that class, a good portion of them can spin, but they all either just know the TA and Charge or just the TA, and none of them spin mods. It's cool though. Me and a friend were joking (at the time where we both only knew TA) that we would surpass our teacher and learn crazy tricks by the end of the year. Funny how I actually did lol, at least by what our standards were at the time. But a couple weeks ago, when I was showing some basic tricks to said friend, I looked up and the teacher and half the class was watching me and I didn't even know it. He asked me if I knew how to do the TA Rev (called it the reverse) and I showed him a little mini combo which inspired the class to once again pick up spinning. They're still stuck on TA and Charge though. A few people detest spinning though and call it 'gay', but it's whatever. Anyway, that's my unnecessarily long story on spinning in my school.

My PE teacher was the first to spin, followed by two more spinners who started last school year. This school year, my friend Speedylu and i both started to spin, and we influenced about 6 or 7 other people to start. Though, i think only 1 or 2 of those 7 will actually get further into PSing. So i would say there's about 5 real spinners in my grade.

Pen spinning has gradually leaped from school to college these days. I can easily spot a group of spinners exhibiting their talent out there in the college. They are just superb.I know a bit of spinning too but not like'em.

lol i remember when we started the PS trend. it's kind of died out in high school, where people are too busy to actually spin beyond messing around with a regular pencil in class
