Arounds are tricks that involve turning the pen in a disc motion around fingers, body parts or other objects.
They are potentially the oldest pen spinning trick, and one of the most versatile and developed, ranging from the simple Thumbaround to the difficult Armaround or Pun Kan.
History
Variations
Standard tilt
Thumbaround
One of the oldest tricks. The pen is pushed with a finger to turn 360 degrees around the thumb before being caught. Originally performed between slots T12-T1 and pushed with the middle finger. The reverse is typically pushed with the curled index finger in the catch position of the original thumbaround.
Fingerarounds
Reverse tilt
Backaround
Like the standard arounds but the tilt is in the opposite direction for a given hand orientation. Palm down around reverses tilt away from the back of the hand, while backarounds tilt towards the back of the hand when the trick starts. Backarounds have the opposite direction to arounds, as historically the backaround was considered to be a separate, individual trick without a reverse.
Bust
A Bust is a common name for Backaround Reverse.
Thumb Backaround
Once confusingly called "Thumb lever", it follows the same rule as the backaround. The normal direction is reversed and it uses the opposite tilt for hand orientation. Originally performed palm up only. Rarely performed in reverse.
