The World of Pen Spinning.

[Beazy]

Yeah, just thought I'd let FC's in on a little hobby that I love doing.

FriendCodians, I spin pens.

It may sound weird to you guys, but its fun to me. Here's a little bit of my background pen-spinning info...

Uhm, I started pen-spinning 3 years ago, but I didn't really know what I was doing, it was just out of boredom. I actually got serious about pen spinning a few months ago, when I randomly searched "pen spinning" on YouTube and was amazed at the world I was introduced to by simply searching something I thought to be made by me out of boredom. Anyway, seeing as I'm just getting into this thing, I'm still starting out. If any of you would like to try and get into Pen Spinning, here are some neat sites & pages to help you out...

Hmm. And how much free time do you have, young wo/man?
Lolkidding, I might sign up. I need another hobby besides this, and my Xbox Live.


EDIT: Have you heard of the website called 'Pentrix'?

[Beazy]

No, never heard of pentrix. Wanna tell me what it is, and link me to it?

Pentrix - Pen Spinning Revolution

It's just a site totally based on pen-spinning. I think you'll love it.

[Beazy]

Lul, cool. There's actually a link to UPSB when you click the tab "community".

[Kayzee]

That's very interesting, but something I wouldn't take up unless I was in school so I could have people to show that to.

[Ling]

I was about to call you a loser but when I saw the videos.... I was amazed. I might start learning how to spin a pen like that.

[Beazy]

Kayzee: Well, don't you have friends you could show it to at least? Take it up with Jay. That'd be cool, right?

Ling: Yeah, I KNEW people'd do that, so I moved all the videos to the first post, so people won't just judge without seeing how awesome it is, like you did, NUB.

So pen-spinning is like spinning a baton?

[Magicarp]

That looks epic. :O

I might do it if I find a pen like yours. xD
