    Default Favorite part of cubing history?

    Simple question, what's your favorite thing that's happened in cubing?
    e.g.
    DIY Kits being produced
    Creation of CFOP/Roux/another method
    A certain competition
    Feliks getting a heap of records
    A certain time barrier being broken
    etc.

    For me it would be the time when the Guhong was first taking over as plenty of people's main cube

    That time when like 10 BLD WRs were broken In like 5 weeks.
    I learned BLD once, but I only really use it as a party trick.

    The 5x5x5 final at worlds last year. I saw it on live stream. Just awesome!

    And the only ever danish 3x3x3 world record, set by Jess Bonde. Which in denmark is simply refered to as Epic ...
    Du er nok nysgerrig, hva? Der fik du alligevel spildt et minut på google translate, bare fordi du ikke kan dansk :)

    Maybe that weekend when Feliks and Rowe both beat the Long standing 7.08 WR. Then the subsequent weeks/months when Feliks kept knocking it down further.
    3X3 Warp 2: (Snl/5/12) 15.26, 18.77, 20.78.

    All the above would not have happened if the cube had not been invented:

    My first ever sub 20 time 19.99 seconds, a very nice feeling to get a solve under 20 seconds.
    12.22 Average of 12 | 9.69 full step single |
    Sub 10s: 27 | Sub 9s: 3 | BLD successes: 3 | 3x3 PB/5/12/100: 8.06/10.79/12.22/13.41

    I haven't been on the cubing scene for very long (~15 months) so there's not really much I can say beside I loved the 5x5 Worlds final, but especially Mats breaking sub-30 on 4x4, and the recent explosion of BLD WRs. GO Marcell!
    3x3: 9.61/13.67/14.97/16.16. 3BLD: 2:01.41. 4x4: 1:00.41/1:04.63/1:09.12/1:14.29.
    2x2: 0.51/3.20/3.99/4.65. Square-1: 27.64/38.50/44.45/51.37.
