More sad news. I am surprised to hear that many pilots don't practice spins. I spin my ship regularly - typically in thermalling configuration, as many entry modes as I can come up with, left and right. I focus on recognition and recovery techniques and note the altitude required. If it's legal/possible to do in the ship you fly regularly it's worth practicing - always with a chute, lots of altitude and c.g. double-checked beforehand.
