The Troposphere is a 1st-generation Pen Spinning website started in 2003 by Darren (nhk9 | nhk_9), the founding moderator of the Universal Pen Spinning Board (UPSB). The Troposphere is also the very first advanced Pen Spinning Tutorial website on the Internet.

In 2019, The Troposphere was relaunched!! You will find Easy Pen Spinning videos (a.k.a. Pen Twirling & Pen Juggling) as well as more recent Advanced Pen Spinning Tutorials. You can learn pen spinning tricks like Charge, Sonic, FingerPass, ThumbAround, BackAround and Infinity. For the latest videos, visit my YouTube channel nhk9 Pen Spinning page. Enjoy!

Simple Pen Spinning Tricks can be learned with any pen. I use a pen that requires no modification (i.e. "pen mods" or "pen modding"). Pen Spinning is a beautiful hand sport because you can learn it easily. Start Pen Spinning today!
