There's a pen spinning competition!???? I've been unknowingly learning level 6 for more than 10 years! 🤣
Same. I can thumbaround almost any pen, marker, or pencil without looking. I was a teacher for several years and I'd ask a question and just thumbaround the dry erase marker and stare at the students... haha. And I'm working on doing it with my other hand.
I saw this, not having heard of anything official, and I'm like, "Fancy weighted 'pens?' Not fair! Do it all with a Bic!"
Ur pen spinning is out of this 🌎
This person is known as padrace in pen spinning tournaments. He has participated in world tournaments before but never won one. He won for standup for pen spinning olympics. Standup is basically performing pen spinning standing up lol.
There are ps olympics,world cups and world tournaments
@@A.K.A_A9aV also national tournaments
This guy's dexterity with pens is inkredible.
That's what she said.
Is that a Mortal Kombat reference or just an ink pun?
Dad jokes of the year goes to
He is very famous in world of penspinning.he is organizer of ps olympics and world cups ans pso winnet

Back in the mid 90s there was quite a pen spinning craze at our high school. People were doing the thumbaround nonstop during classes. It was driving the teachers crazy when the pens would drop on the table.
Same. We used to see if we could do more than 100 in a row. I think 114 was my best. 😂
😲 pretty awesome me I’m just that kid trying to do that in bust now a days all by my self 😂
it's how I got good at it, I dropped , my pen was taken away...lol
@@iONLYbetWHENiWIN I know right😂 I back my chair up so it doesn’t hit a table 👉🧠
Hahaha I do that
I’ve never been so excited for something I never knew I was excited for in my life!
no matter how specific your interests are you are never alone with them. that fact makes me really happy.
As a penspinner myself, I'm really glad that such a big channel speaks about it! Thank you!
Same here buddy
Whats up Oleg? Youre videos on pen mods are amazing because people can find out how to build unknown pen mods
@@nrreno unknown
Ghost here, me too 🤙
Love your videos
Great promotion of our artform and amazing explanation! Mad props.
The GOAT of pen spinning ey yoooo
Yooo didn't expect you to see there
@@yiuyiu6729 the goat of pen spinning is menowa
feels like 2013
Yeah this video may lead to rise of pen spinning
As a pen spinner, I am very happy to see this. Hopefully, this hobby gets more and more popular in the future. ❤❤
hopefully we get more Supawits in the future :p
@@fffffff131 ขอบคุณค้าบ
@@ivabra Definitely my bro!
seeing your name just makes me feel nostalgic, used to download all of your vids and peem's in my phone back in the day, great times...
Heck yeah
Level 22 of pen spinning: you actually become one with the pen and transcend into a higher state of being.
Level 23 the pen autonomously moves with just your thoughts!?🤔🧐
Level 24: You draw a spinning pen while spinning.
No its actually you become the pen and the Pen spins you.
Pen spinning is finally getting the recognition it deserves
Peter "Padrace" Davis, you make us proud champ!
Pad making it into the big leagues!!! Congrats buddy!
This looks so pro. I can't believe you mentioned powerpass variations!
The king of powerpass variations right there
oh the founder of pwp variations is here :DD
The king of power pass it's pen spinning central❤
@@anfloo4781hes the one who came up with the pp variations
I think it would have been incomplete without them!
Incredible video ! !
It's always a little stressful seeing a hobby you know a lot about be de-constructed like this for people outside of it to understand because it's really hard to properly convey the uniqueness of it all a lot of the times, but Padrace did a great job, as well as you guys up at WIRED!
I'm really happy that I'm able to see this at such a great production value! 😍
I agree
love it so much
padrace is amazing
Agreed, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
Cool to see Padrace featured, really nice dude in the community!
Shoutout to Saltient on Threading too, it shows that many tricks are still to be done and explored in Pen Spinning
wsp sep
I love how he explains it and the details, like I think I could listen to him all day.
Awesome promotion for our hobby. Congratz Padrace ❤️
nice to see this getting more attention
love this! what a beautiful presentation of penspinning
Padrace, you taught the concepts so well, you are also well spoken. Thank you and wired so much for the presentation!
I'm so glad of this video, finally a good introduction of our art! Ty Padrace!
there's no better person to be interviewed for pen spinning than my boy padrace
I did pen spinning over 10 years ago. Its amazing to see how many new and complicated tricks there are now! Impressive.
Literally did not know this was an actual thing till 15 mins ago but the YT algorithm got this one spot on. To a complete outsider like me, this was such a good video. Might have to rewatch the tougher levels (once the mods kick in) to fully understand it but this is so cool!
Finally as a fellow spinner I’m glad it’s finally getting more attention
I remember i started learning penspinning back in 2008 to 2012. I got pretty good but i lost my pen mod and back then there were only limited pen spinning fundamentals known such as charge thumbarounds wipers and sonics. The penspinning scene revolved mostly around those tricks, including busts and aerial motions. Now it has evolved a lot and there are some tricks i didnt even know existed! I think i should i get back to penspinning again
happy to finally see this skill having the attention it deserves
Mah man, Padrace. Massive milestone, man! Super proud of you!
Sup man
Padrace GOAT!
Fascinating how much this correlates to devil-/flowerstick juggling. I did that for many, many years and the tricks are incredibly similar.
The ultimate way to procrastinate. This is awesome!

Recap by Tammy AI
Good teacher and clearly excels at his craft
Amazing explanation and video!!
we need more of these
It’s truly amazing what people have devoted their lives to
The fact that WIRED made a video about pen spinning means there's a chance that it will get more popular :D
I haven't actively "practiced" my pen-spinning for quite the while but seeing a video like this is awesome :)
Yeah same bro, i can power pass, inferse power pass, mirrored power pass, and power pass reverse. But power pass reverse it's hard for me.
Happy to see Pen Spinning popular again
Thanks bro finally someone explained the thumb around properly
What am I doing with my life
Wired really got videos for everything I love. Best channel ever
Finally about this topic!❤
Very nice video ! Thank you Padrace & wired =)
this is very useful information
this is an incredible style of art! amazing!
padrace did a really good job :D
Amazing!
Great that PD was able to have this opportunity with Wired
This is the kind of pen-spinning content we need!
woatho
Yooo
Super cool to see all these tricks broken down so clearly. The combos look so fluid and complex!
@padraceps great job on explaining all that so well!
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it ❤
good job Padrace!
He is padrace ?
Anyways I am PenStuff lol
Hows server going anyways
@@Shubham_-_ yup, thats padrace, servers going fine, u shld definity come back tho we miss u
@@Shubham_-_ face reveal done
Not that shubham looks like an ai genreated handsome boy I wish he does 😬@@fienzo_spins
Yo this is my best friend! We spent pretty much every day growing up hanging out and building legos!
What's even amazing is that -- this is going to be counter-intuitive -- if you're putting all the tricks together and do it slowly and smoothly, it looks MUCH MORE amazing than if it were to be done fast (every trick looks the same when it's very fast!). Same with cardistry.
The quality content we deserve
penspinning and fingerboarding r soo underrated istg
Padrace fits the Role so good. Love it!
POV: When you decide to try pen spinning and give up at level 1
Hats off 🎉❤
I'm remember learning some basic pen spinning stuff in high school in the 2000s before RUclips existed and learned the wiper and thumb around and a couple of others (the tricks didnt really have names back then), and it's wild to see how much it has evolved over the years! Such a cool video and now I'm tempted to nerd out on pen spinning again in my 30s lol
Did you?
He speaks really well
The crazy skill is he does it with the left hand 😲
Yeah I do the thumb thing constantly. This is rly cool
Mastered the thumbaround my senior year of high school, still doing it 19 years later.
This is crazy !
I need to submit my final project for the semester tomorrow and I'm watching this. Great, I guess.
This is so cool
wonderful representation
Envied my junior high classmates who could pen spin SO much back in the late ‘00s.
Shout out to Padrace and the team for making such a good video❤️
“First half year of pen spinning” is such a funny phrase to me
I know every pen spin til' the 6th level and a little bit cardioid too and twisted sonic bust too
s777 and bonkura, man who else remember them, the best of the bests
RIP
many of us remember them :)
RIP to Bonkura 🙏
My hero !
This is too good!
That was surprisingly interesting
Awesome👌👌
This is surprisingly way more interesting inciuld have imagined
impressive! 🤯
This is so cool. My brain can’t comprehend any of it though 😂
Omg pd 💛
Omg the video I needed
well detailed and informative.
i would have liked more history, but it was definitely the wild west back then and might be hard to have documentation.
anyone miss Kam? Zombo? Eriror? etc.
This is very cool, I’ve always wanted to cool pen spin
Thanks Wired, now I know what will I do on our test tomorrow.
NICE ONE 🎉🎉🎉
Padrace!
Learned some of the basic tricks years ago. I've probably done 10s of thousands of thumbarounds, charges and wipers. Actually I've discovered some advanced variants of charge on my own and I've only found out about it now 😂 It's like second nature to me to just spin pen whenever I have it in my hands 😂
The only trick I can do out of all of em is Level 6, the thumbaround and the finger passes. Despite being a level 6 difficulty for him, I think it's the most common and the easiest to learn, especially if you started to figure out the kinks/details on how to properly execute it. Finger passes on the other hand are just like those coin passes trick that I always see in movies. Easy to execute too.
Cool to learn this is a thing unknowingly been at level 21 for 11 years or so
Saw ur channel on u tube about pen spinning I tried it yet not easy takes practice especially the thump around good luck with your channel hope you do more videos thanks 👍
Level 1 is what drummers use to look awesome! 🤘
I have no idea what’s going on and I love it 🤣
I always thought that the thumbaround was the easiest trick cuz dexterity isn’t really that important
This just gave me a good reason to try some of the less complex tricks on the list
I do pen spinng too, it is amazing!
the one video that teachers hope their students will never click on
padrace the goat!!
Really awesome to see those "Multi Level of Complexity" video.
I'm a penspinning hobbyist myself and it really help me understand what more advanced artist/Hobbyist are focusing on.
(@Wired, I personally think it would be more accurate to use the wording "Simple to Complex" when refering to skill needed to learn a techniques).
Thanks and have an awesome day.
Dan
props to the manicurist, those are some fine looking hands
The sonic is so much more difficult than the thumb around in my opinion
good content fr
