Tilt

Tilt is a spinner from the United States who runs the pen spinning youtube channel tilt_ps. A superprodigy who quickly rose to prominence in several main pen spinning categories, Tilt's spinning is highlighted by his focus on extreme difficulty, hypermodern construction and development of rare trick categories like palm down 2H twirls. He would later come 3rd place in the Pen Spinning World Tournament 2025.

Tilt is also well known for creating Spindys, a Discord server centred around his channel that became one of the main English hubs for pen spinning.

YouTube channel

Tilt runs two youtube channels, tilt_ps and SpindysWeeklyLinkages, a spinoff channel to hold the long-running weekly linkage series that Tilt started in 2022 and spun off into its own channel in June 2024. Tilt's content primarily focuses around practicing and motivation techniques, with some discussion on higher level pen spinning and different approaches. Notably Tilt does not make large numbers of tutorials, preferring instead to provide approaches that encourage learning the hobby without following tutorials.

As of 2026 Tilt's channel has winded down in activity, from multiple uploads a week to occasional announcements on pen spinning events.

Spindys

Tilt is the creator of the English speaking community Spindys, which was originally formed around his content for pen spinning notation and his long-running weekly linkage series associated with the community. The Discord server was created on 29th June 2022, and first linked to it in his videos in April of 2023.

Pen modding

Tilt has created several mods that have become popular in his community, and then to more widespread knowledge after his World Tournament 2025 run:

• Tilt Whiteboard Marker Mod
• Oil Nut
