Cross Boot Camp

[Brian Kremer]

I made some beginner level videos on the first step in CFOP:

• One: The Basics - This video explains the basics of building a cross.
• Two: Swapping Opposite Edges - This video shows a simple way to swap opposite edges on the cross.
• Three: Flipping an Edge - This video shows a quick and easy way to flip an edge on the cross.
• Four: Combination Moves - This video is an introduction to some basic combination moves you will run into often when solving the cross.
• Five: Chain Reactions - This video shows a pattern of combination moves where multiple edge pieces are solved in a row, like a chain reaction.
• Six: Opposite Colors - When solving the first layer cross, sometimes it’s easier to solve the cross 180 degrees off.
• Seven: Off by 90 Degrees - Sometimes it’s easier to work toward an intermediate solution where the cross is 90 degrees away from being solved.
• Eight: Extended Cross - Pick an F2L pair and predict where it will go as you solve the first layer cross.

I would make more... any ideas?

GET YOUR CROSS UNDER EIGHT MOVES PRIVATE, I BET YOU CAN"T DO THE SHIMMY WIMMY CUPID SHUFFLE DOWN THE STREET IN EIGHT MOVES

Edit: Sorry I just wanted to do that because I saw boot camp and Go Navy

Edit Edit: I'm going to try this it looks cool

Awesome stuff. Was looking for something like this

These are excellent videos in conception and content. My problem, as a beginner, is that most guides say to solve the cross intuitively. Yes, it can be done, but this is a much better approach. I'm starting the blindfold practice.

Great videos Brian!! :tu

Very useful for my learning.

Thanks!

Sweet, thanks! My cross is pretty bleh (4-7 seconds in a 30 second solve) so this is very helpful

Pretty good videos! To me, practice is very important too. I started by doing 1 cross piece bld, then 2, then 3, then the entire cross. It helps with planning it all out
