i dont have a comp in my room and its in my basement and the basement isn heated very well its uses a old gas system. so when i do vids they are worse because my hands are freezing. when i say hand warm ups i dont mean sitting on it or putting it beside a heater then running downstairs. so are there ne methods people use?

thnx

Wear gloves while down there if you are going to film, take them off only when filming.

Taking MDMA will probably keep your temperature nice and warm too.

srry what is mdma ive tried golves but they get cold like 5 seconds after i take the gloves off

Buy a labtop. drink hot cocoa/ whiskey.

Nah dont drink whiskey, it doesnt really warm you up, it just rushes the blood to the back of your throat.

Just rub your hands together, then put them under your armpits... try it

You may have trouble getting your hands on some.

Maybe you can look for a portable mini-heater. They suck up a lot of power but they work fairly well.

warm your hands with a cup of hot water... Just like Ronnie O'sullivan...
But dont drink coffee before you start spinning... It will make your hands shake, and difficult to control...

They sell hand wrmers at sporting good stores
use those.

rub them against each other

Wait until summer. You will be a better spinner by then anyways =P

But seriously. Talk to your parents about moving the computer or getting heat down there. Feel em some line of BS like that it's bad for a computer to run if it's too cold.

Hey, I have this exact same problem. It reduces my accuracy rate so damn much and practicing and mastering tricks is a bitch.

If you do happen to get 'the hands' for a good combo, it will be very temporary that's for sure.

The only thing I've managed to do with it is take a nice warm shower and then start penspinning right away or else... I breakdance. I get adrenaline into my body any way I can and then go to work. It lasts a good 5-10 minutes only though.

The only way you're going to be able to solve your problem is move to a better or warmer area.

I'm hoping to get a laptop so I can use it in my room. Kudos. Try your hand at it.

Get a bucket and fill it with hot water from the sink or tub, and I mean full hot.

Bring it downstairs and soak your hands in them for about a minute or two.

That should keep your hands in good condition for spinning for at least 10 minutes in a COLD environment, such as outside in 30 degree weather.

I don't know about right away, but in the long term if you want your hands warm, make sure you have lots of B vitamins. They're in lots of cereal and wheaty stuff.

Hair dryers work pretty well. :rolleyes:

Put it in you're Pants.
Touch yourself.


You have a warm hand.

make a fist and blow hot air through it with your mouth

or just get a heater!!! lol

Not to mention sticky, smelly and extremely unpleasant.

But to each his own.

I was about to try the bucket of hot water thing but then I noticed how desperate I'd look. That's why I got off my ass and went upstairs to practice tricks. =] Much less desperate.

Oh and I'm lazy.

That doesn't solve the problem of recording it though, unless you use a camera or something.

I have those mini heaters thing...Maybe it's just me but when I use it my fingers went tired fast...

So I just put my hands in my jacket pocket (The pocket you put your hands in) and it could warm my hands a bit. Rub my hands with each other and stuff works.

hair dryer may be useful
but why not move your comp into your room?

Go to 7eleven
BuY those heat packs where you shake them
Shake it real good.
Touch it
Be warm

meh...use hot tap water to soak your hand

Sitting on your hands usually helps. Or try putting them under your arm pits.

Wash yourself, mister! :...:

yeah as its already been said hair dyers work pretty well also you can use them to make your pen warmer especially the grip. oh and those hand warmers work prety well too good luck

Yeah, cause Joshua's crotch is always so clean that he can use it as a plate...

Exactly... Hatin' on the rest of us who don't jizz every second of the day so we wouldn't know. <_<

I went to my girlfriend's house and she had like half an inch thick clear plastic plate type things on her windows and it seemed to help 'cause she has the uber old heating way of basements. I might try it. See if my parents will get some of that stuff.

Or else, I'll just penspin upstairs if it comes to it or work on combos for now and film later.

When I read the "When I went to my girlfriend's house" I immediately thought of bad thoughts because of you quoting the...bad things.

another thing you 'can' do is cling wrap over the windows and then shrink it with a blow dryer. But the problem is if it's a basement the cold is coming from the walls and floor, not the ceiling. I'm going to talk a wild guess and say concrete floors and walls?

ive got a really old house i believe it is now like 100 something years old and the floor is carpet but there is cement underneath. btw people i dont have problems just warming them up im a hardcore well actually used to be a hardcore backpacker and kno all the keeping warm tricks and stuff but just keeping them warm isnt quite enough. right now i just have some carbs have some hot water and wear a touque gives me roung 10- 15 minute tim span

oh yeah, whiskey does help... trust me on this one.
just eat a couple of pretzels if you are driving afterward, it should help sober you up.

srry for revivng my own topic but for people who also need to warm up there hands here a tip my ultimate coach taught us. dont warm the palm its the tendons in the back of your hands that control ur fingers

I think the best way are those packets that get heated. My sister went to an army base recently and they gave her some army supplies. One of the supplies was that packet. I'm pretty sure they sell those in the sports stores. Anyways when it is really cold I usually put my hands under armpit/kneepit. It gets warmed up so quickly.

they do sell them in sporting goods stores^^^^.
:banana:

^^ actually they do i c them at MEC all the time but i never bothered buying ne. my ultimate coach said that the best place to warm up ur hands is ur ass.

haha, i guess ass works but i prefer putting them under armpits, i learned this in grade 3 :rolleyes:

i prefer the warmers

I have a lamp near my computer, warming my hands near there usually works pretty well, otherwise i stick my hands in my................. pockets :rolleyes:
