I was there

ah nice! I remember seeing your name on the sheet. Anywho, what events do you like the most?

 

[Abram Grimsley]

4x4 (my main event), 3x3, pyraminx, 2x2, and Square-1. These are my top 5 favorite events that I practiced regularly. I also really like 5x5 and megaminx.

Nice! Do you do weekly comps?

 

[Abram Grimsley]

Occasionally, but not every week.

Past tense?

 

[Abram Grimsley]

haven't cubed in a while. Going to start practicing again.

Ok, I am officially switching to zz. I am getting bored with cfop, and I've really wanted to learn zz. I want to have fun while improving. ZZ-CT will be my main goal, but first I want to get better at regular zz (Especially eo-cross). I do have a good amount of school, but whenever I'm free, I'll be learning zz and grinding 4x4. My goal for this year (I know I'm late on setting goals, but I don't care), is to have a sub-15 average on zz. Hopefully I can accomplish this before the year ends, but we'll see.
