Pen spinning

So, do these modded pens actually work then =P

I can only do some of the very basic stuff. I tend to do it in class unconsciously when the teacher's talking, unlike cubign which actually would demand me to think and ignore the teacher.

I don't think when cubing. I think penspinning is more thinking for me.

Cubing made me stop practicing :p

I'll start again someday...

I see cubes in the first video!;):cool:
 
I dunno, I think cubing requires a bit more thinking for me, but that might just be because I'm relatively new to cubing. Spinning seems more natural to me, and it's purely muscle memory at this point to pull off combos and stuff.
 
Here is my pencil mod that I came up with back in around April I think. All you need are 2 regular unsharpened pencils (mine are from Staples). Pull off the eraser and the metal thing from one of them and stick it on the other end of the other pencil. It works quite nicely.
 
Tricks-easy
Combos-****ing hard (this is where penspinning becomes artistic)

One reason I quit was because I couldn't keep up with the pace at which progress was being pushed
 
Dude, I quit trying to keep up with all the new innovations a long time ago.
I'm surprised that I'm still moderator at UPSB.

Another "pen modification" that lots of new spinners do is double capping something. Just because the Com-ssa is double capped, doesn't mean that anything that can be double capped should be.
 
Pen Island is considered by many of the more experienced pen spinners to be the best place to buy modded pens.

Uh no... your dry...........
Anyway seems like this place is quite popular.....
Anyway, buy pens from penspinstore.com (A.K.A. PenDolSa) or www.penwish.com. if you want to learn a bit more about it go on www.uspb.info and at the top, there is a thing which says wiki. Yea that has guides on how to make mods, guides on tricks, history etc.
 
Yeah, I'm starting to get into pen spinning because slowly, the cube addiction has worn off. And all my teachers lecture a lot, so I'm always bored. (Taking notes is for suckers)
 
Pen spinning is the ultimate hobby to do in school. Just make sure that the pen doesn't fall so often to disturb the teacher :D

By the way, can pen spinning be done with a regular pen, or does it need to be special like our cubes?
 
I average 32 with a storebought :) I'm sure you could make do with a regular old pen, as long as its pretty evenly balanced.
