I've been solving for fun for 7 years or so, just using store bought rubies brand cubes. I gave my last one away after getting bored with it. about a month ago started watching some videos on youtube and bought a bunch of puzzles. Just another hobby to add the the list. haha. I guess i should clarify. I have one term left at LBCC then I'll be at OSU, I look forward to the club starting.

I average 70 seconds on the 3x3, my pb is 45, but it was a lucky solve. I'm learning f2l and then will move on to OLL and PLL. I just got a megaminx and it looks fun, but have not had a chance to do anything with it while my wrist heals. I want to get better at 3x3 before i worry about becoming faster at other puzzles. I'm not fast by any means at the moment.

Fun! and yeah mega is pretty fun - I'm slow myself so we're in the same boat... you'll prolly pass me right by now that you have a better cube and are learning F2L/PLL (I wouldn't worry about OLL (unless you like learning algs, of course) - sub20 is definitely possible without it).
 
I just broke down and got a better 4x4 as well as a 5x5 for the heck of it (wasn't much of a break down). I got a better 2x2 since my son just took mine and won't give it back, i don't mind though, maybe he will want to learn to solve as he gets older. I'm not sure ill ever get sub20. Seems like an impossible task.

kewl! what 4x4 and 5x5 did you get? yeah sub20 seems pretty insane to me too. One step at a time I guess...
 
got Shengshou 4x4 and 5x5. I have no idea how to solve the 5x5, but it looks fun. The 4x4 is amazing compared to my rubies brand. I'm going to try the konsta mod. i hate lock ups.
 
So, it looks like I'll be moving to Portland this summer/fall. I see Chris Brotzman has been doing a lot with organization here -- would love to get caught up on what's happening here so I can start helping out as soon as I get there. Last competition seemed insane for this area.
 
Well, well! Very happy to see our local population of Kits increase. This is awesome!

Welp... guess we'll be able to have more comps. Rose City's turn out was much bigger than we expected it would get, so there's definitely demand. Let's talk sometime. I'd love to know what you think about the scene here. And also to see what ideas you might have for the community in general.
 
I'd like to revive this post! Looks like no one has posted in over a year, and that saddens me. Are there any other oregon speedcubers out there? Especially with the upcoming competition in a few days, it'd be nice to know who is going. Personally, I'm in Eugene, OR, so I have to travel to Portland for the comp, but it'd be great to meet some people who live around here who like speed cubing. :)

For some reason, I've noticed that there aren't many in Oregon on these forums. Kind of a bummer -- probably has something to do with how new competitions are to this area and not so many people knowing about the forums.

@DeeDubb and Aaron LoPrete will be coming back to UO/Eugene for the school year, which might help bring us some competitions to that area. We'll have to wait and see!

Oh good! I'd can't wait to see if we'll get any comps here. It would be nice to not have to drive for 2 hours to get a comp! xD
