Pen Spinning Anyone?
 

Pen spinning is a fairly common way of spending the short breaks between classes in Japanese junior high and high schools. Do you guys do it in your country, too?

Here's a video of some top-notch Japanese pen spinners. You probably won't believe what you see. That's how good some guys are at this.

OMG This is insane!!

i used to spend my breaks geting high lol - that shit is cool as fuck though !

thats pretty cool...we dont usually do things as cool as that here in bama. most people just go to parties and crud

If you want to seen some Pro stuff then you cant do much better then visit superhandz. I am a magician (the performing type) and have watched the superhandz guys and girls do some amazing things. You can find a pen spinning link on their site.

lol in my highschool, everyone is too busy running to their next class to do anything cool>.< I doubt any of us could do something as awesome as that though!!

Wow O.o.... the most we do in my high school is play hackysack and glue quarters to the floor and watch people try to pick them up XD.

I'm not sure about my country in general, but I myself do.
I wouldn't say I'm great at it, but I've been doing it long enough to develope a sense of fluency.

I was surprised to learn that it was a popular thing to do in Japan.

DUDE, THAT'S SOME FUCKING AWESOME SHIT, YEAH!!:D I wish I could do this myself...

wow!!! that's cool

Found a video that teaches you the basics of pen spinning.

Yea I pen spin alot x.x

Lies!
I just saw him make a post with the word " Cock" in it!
xD <<

Yea i pen spin also.

I use Comssa and DR.Kt mods *japanese pen mods*

now that im workin in the states i've added to my collection of pens with RSVP and G2 mods =P

its alot harder then it looks, but once you get the mechanics down you can start to do some cool tricks.

Im into any thing that spins haha.

Pens/zippos/breakdancing/rubiks cubes/butterfly knives.

one of the Top Japanese pen spinners died this year named Bonkura

if you search his name on youtube you'll find some cool stuff.

He died @ 22 of heart failure. poor kid

just made this pic for the thread =D

Aww...I want to learn how to to that sooo bad v_v
Must have token quite a bit of time to learn all that 0.o

Actually duff cussed quite alot - you're just never around to hear it....or read it since its text :3

cool shit...

They tell you what kind of pens they used, but I don't think I'll be able to find them here, since all (I suppose) of them were filmed in japan.

www.upsb.info/forums

has a moddin section of pens you can find in the states.

easily made.

takes like 5 bucks to get a nice balanced pen. if that.

I mean my first pen i found around the house, i just put two 2gether and made a RSVPG2.

i've only been spinning pens for a lil bit.

I learned the basics in a week of just fiddling around with it at work.

once you get the fundamentals down and the mechanics of how much pressure you need to apply, you can get decent quickly.

They say the weight balance in the pen is very important. Maybe you wanna try some pens at a local store....and dropping them all over.:)

Thanks for the info :D

woah, being quoted twice in a row....I like it :3

I wanna learn to do that...then I'll look cool for the first time in my life :D

I have done a penspinning from jr.high school first year.
It was done by other pupils, so it was learned. ^^V

個人的にこういうダイナミックな動きは大好きです。

some pends i've personally modded.
