Hi folks,
I've been speed cubing for just over 1 year now with a sub 40-avg for 3x3 (PB 26). I am loving my recent purchase of the GTS3M Also do a little 2x2 and 4x4 but very slow.
I have been grinding my way through CFOP and know PLLs and perhaps half of the OLLs. Treated myself to learning the beginner Roux method recently and really enjoyed the different approach to solving, but will probably stick to CFOP for now. I'm hoping to get to my first UK competition next year.
Just for info I was around when the cube came out originally and after quite some time managed to create my own method for solving it. Basically a layer by layer approach but with only three different algs after the first layer. I picked up a cube while visiting a friends house and then checked out YouTube to solve it. I was amazed by the progress in methods and technology of the cubes and thought I'd see if I could solve in under a minute, something that was impossible with my old method. Anyway, I broke the minute barrier, but somehow that didn't seem fast enough any more.
Thanks to everyone who has posted advice on the forums, its already been a great source of information over the last year.
