==History==
Gollumsk8 began spinning around 2005. In the description of his seventh-year solo, uploaded in July 2012, he described having spun for approximately seven years and three months and acknowledged inspiration from older Korean and Japanese spinners and the FPSB community. His twentieth-anniversary solo followed in July 2025.<ref name="vR0fRkRxwppY">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0fRkRxwppY Gollumsk8 7th year solo]. Accessed September 6, 2026.</ref><ref name="v0SYSeI_jU70">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SYSeI_jU70 Gollumsk8 20 Years of Penspinning Solo]. Accessed September 6, 2026.</ref>

He was a moderator of FPSB v2 and among the members of FarWest, a French group associated with meetings and collaboration videos from 2007 onward.<ref name="book">[https://www.scribd.com/document/740962792/psbook Pen Spinning: History and Notation]. Accessed September 6, 2026.</ref>

His competitive career includes the first World Tournament in 2007 and appearances through 2025. In the description of his 2025 first-round entry, he called it his ninth World Tournament, or his tenth when counting the separate 2017 PDS tournament.<ref name="07r1">[https://web.archive.org/web/20071120033326/http://www.alexsimpsononline.com/firstround.html World Tournament 2007 — round 1].

Accessed September 6, 2026.</ref> As of 2026 Gollumsk8 is the only pen spinner to have competed in every World Tournament event since the conception of the event. He shared that status with fellow veteran spinner [[x1212]] from [[TWPS]] until 2017.

Gollumsk8 created an early 2p1h [[multipen]] combo in 2010.<ref name="vkSmITwrdfSA">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSmITwrdfSA gsk8 2p1h combo ( 2010)]. Accessed September 6, 2026.</ref> By 2012, he was also discussing plans for a solo dedicated to two pens in one hand (2p1h). His later multipen work included a 2p1h semifinal entry against [[I.suk|i.suk]] in the 2019 World Tournament and an entry in the 2020 Pen Spinning Olympics Multipen category.<ref name="solo5" /><ref name="solo7">[https://www.penspinning.fr/gollumsk8-7th-year-solo-4039 Gollumsk8 7th year solo].

==Pen Mods==

'''8Namae''': A July 2010 tutorial by Elouan credits Gollumsk8 with inventing this double-capped mod. The published specifications give a length of 21 cm and a weight of 19 g. Its construction uses a Namae body, Dong_a caps, Spoko grips, HGG and G2 EX tips, and gold-colored Dr. Grip rings.<ref name="namae">[https://www.penspinning.fr/8namae-1717 8Namae]. Accessed September 6, 2026.</ref>
