Ha ha, I made a mentos spinning clip awhile ago. It was just some lame freestyle, but it was a lot better than those videos.
Here, I uploaded it.

:lol: :lol: hahaha amen that.
i wouldn't say those mento kids suck ass, but they're kinda n00bie and have limited arsenal of tricks. even I can pwn them, but of course, levi would pwn me =)
DaThroat - May 17, 2007 12:04 PM (GMT)
n00bie no.. newbie.. YES.. nice too see we're all honest that their not very good..
too bad i cant go(US eh?).. i wonder if there are different ways they spin mentos instead of the regular way we spin our pens/sticks..
Scott Shaputis - May 17, 2007 09:30 PM (GMT)

platinumnerd - May 17, 2007 10:16 PM (GMT)

You have to remember that the people in that video are not PSers. They're just regular Asians. :lol:

I really don't like where this thread is going.
No matter how good you are, there's always someone better than you. And since we're all striving to be better, there's no need to look down on those who may be less skilled.
But if you must look somewhere, I would advise looking up to those who are better and getting inspiration. If you spend all day looking down at people less skilled, your skill level is bound to go down.
The thread's purpose is to give someone the opportunity to perform live spinning mentos. Even though it's not a pen, it's still similar, and will give the person good experience (and hopefully financial reward as well).
Let's keep the thread on topic please :)
DaThroat - May 19, 2007 07:12 AM (GMT)
dont get me wrong, i meant it w/o offense.. im not looking down on them.. it just brings back memories of my class when a long time ago when we all did charge(that was all we did) and thats it..
i guess i do admit i was a little disappointed by the video as i expected something different from penspinning.. as in a whole new brand of tricks that can only be down with mentos sticks.. the only trick different seems to be the poping-sweet-into-mouth trick..
if i offended anyone i apologise.. :bowdown: :bowdown: :king:

But theres plenty of things you could work on!
hold a mentos packet in t1, and push a mentos out of the top, into 12, fpass to 34, then repeat another down to 23, and 12, and then you'd have a pretty decent trick ;)
I know that sucks but it doesnt take much thinking to get the creativity and inspiration to practice with something new.
Zombo - May 19, 2007 12:24 PM (GMT)
here's a better idea: hold the mentos roll on the left hand, pop one out aerial style, catch it in 12, do BackHand Tracer (whatever is the equivalent for coin), then do tohlz Teleport back in t1, then pop it in your mouth, then pop the next mentos off the stack and repeat.
