Older cubers discussions

Hehe, I'm also learning turbo because you said Grzegorz said it was better, and I'm liking it. I definitely need to step up my bld and will also try to practice 5BLD, at least centers.

My next comp should be by February next year, let's see what we can do by then ;)

I had a another nice sub 18 Ao12.... if it wasn't for my batteries to die in solve 11.. :)

A nice 13 in there too (Blue cross at 2.50)... I think I should start consider myself sub 19.. :)

Very nice average, except for that 24. And very calm during the whole average. I would have started to moan after the 24. It looks like we are quite close regarding the times we can get but you seem to be much more consistent than I am.

Again, you appear so relaxed and with music... while I am so stressed. Maybe my problem with recording is that I insist in using a GoPro-like approach and the camera in my head blocks my thinking :) But I hate to have to set up a tripod and all that stuff.

Nice! I should get one sooner or later. I don't know exactly what are the odds, assuming I'm not doing anything to influence the LL during F2L, such as edge orientation, WV... What worries me is that when I finally get one I will waste it with some horrible F2L and it won't even be PB.

Yes, my times are becomming more consistent. Standard dev is now usualy around 1. About a year ago that was 1.7. I was quite relaxed because these where the first solves of the day ;). It went all bad after the first 20 solves.. so I stopped at 40 solves or so with a low 19.xx mean

Well I'm 25 which isn't terribly old but I do feel ancient at competitions. Also I feel like I'm robbed of some of the youngsters TPS, which is why it's taken me so long to get to the speed that I am now.

I was going to suggest that 25 is probably the point at which "older cuber" starts to apply!

Most of the regulars in this thread are over 40.

I like watching your solves. Maybe because I always remember your 1:30 video you started with so it makes me have dreams. :) I would like to chart my progress someday of I get faster over time to see how the progress went. I think some people did that on here but I have forgotten how far back they went.
 
I tried to reconstruct the two 13.67 full-steps from 3-4 days ago but there are too many similar options for the crosses and I cannot remember how I did them In fact they don't seem to be specially easy scrambles but normal ones.

13,67 L F2 L' D R B' U' L2 D L F2 R F2 U2 L D2 R U2 R B2

Just in case anybody wants to try them out.
