Yep. Working on twisted sonic busts lately, though I don't practice much anymore.

>> No.8146008

How does one do this, anyway?

Honestly it's not nearly as hard as it looks. Start with the fundamentals and work your way up.

glad I'm not the only one

I expected more people though. I haven't been practicing much either. Pen spinning seems to have lost popularity (not that it had much in the first place).

I stopped doing it after finishing school
since I'm at home all day I do nothing but sitting in front of my PC
maybe I should change that

When I'm in front of my computer I usually have my pen in my hand lol

Lost my modded pencil a month ago, can't find still with all that furniture and shit around.
As for tricks, stuck on trying to execute shadow 34-34 consistently, not sure over what finger should i spin, pinky seems cooler but hard, or i should probably just move on and forget about it

>> No.8146049

>>8146045
It's the exact same as a shadow in any other position. Just flick your pinky up and let it spin on top of the ring finger instead of letting it fall into 23. If you can't get the flick, practice with sonics from 34, and then just change it from lifting your middle finger to not lifting it and your pen won't fall into the next spot up.

>> No.8146051

I remember when I could flip my pen around my fingers and people wouldn't think it was something I got from the internet. Why does the internet have to ruin anything I find fun?

>> No.8146055

Can someone explain how to do a twisted sonic 34-23? I can't even get that charge motion down because my pinky is as retarded as shit.

>> No.8146059

>>8146055
You obviously can't do it if you can't do a charge 34. Practice that. After that it's just a matter of flexible fingers.

>> No.8146060

I can twirl a pen between my fingers, but I can't spin one. I always associate this ability with drummers for sone reason.

>> No.8146061

>>8146049
I can do it with spining on top of ring finger pretty well, but on top of pinky looks damn cool, like this dude did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik1NDo24mG0#t=1m2s - this is also a video that get me into penspinning few year ago

I've always wanted to be good at that, spinning it around your fingers looks so fun. I'm already having a hard time with the thumbaround, I wonder if I can still do this...

are you holding it right? with pinky it could slip away downwards easily, try to concentrate on holding it tight. in 43 i for one holding it like this, with a base of fingernail on pinky and with a second phalange of top finger (ring finger) as opposed to holding with both third phalanges in charge 23
