Pen spinning

I do some of this at school - never looked into tricks and stuff but I can do two of them pretty well :P maybe I will now...
 
crzyazn is a master of this thing.

I thought about getting into this at the end of august because I knew teachers wouldn't mind this as much as cubes. But I lost interest in penspinning after learning the basic tricks. Penspinning is more serious than I expected. There are people discussing what pens to mod more rigorously than we discuss cubes!

Yeah, you should see some of the posts about hybrid cubes...
Type A core with Type E edges and storebought corners with Type D centers and Type F centercaps. All lubed individually with a fine paintbrush dipped in Crisco Puritan Canola Oil with Omega-3 DHA. (BTW, that's an actual Crisco product)

You've never made a pen with parts from 6 different pens before, have you?

The last pen(cil) modification that I made was a mechanical pencil mod using a Dong-A computer signpen body, a Pentel Metrix mechanical pencil tip and the actual mechanical mechanism part of the pencil, a Pentel Hybrid Gel Grip metal tip, two Pentel RSVPs for the grips and a back cap, and a Dong-A Anyball grip which can be substituted with the North American version called the Papermate Profile.

Just for further clarification, Dong-A is a Korean company so those pens are sold only in Korea. The signpen body I got because I bought tons of them when I went to Korea, and I had to trade for the Anyball grips. Hybrid Gel Grips are rare in Canada, and I heard they were dying out in the US as well. Most get them from Europe or Asia.

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.

Well I've been out of the pen spinning game for a really really long time, and the pen modifications have gotten.... for lack of a better word, weirder.
The pen mods have gotten a lot longer, and a lot of them now can't even write, and at that point I just feel it's a bit silly.

Also, the spinners nowadays are just too good, they all have the same style though, but it looks pretty nice.
Pen spinning is a lot different than when I used to do it a year or two ago.
