Speedcubing in Melbourne

[jianziboy]

i can speed stack but not so good

 

[popstar_dave]

I could also potentially bring a few stackmat timers (and sets of stacking cups, if people are interested).

Please do. I consider them weird and kinda lame, but I considered cubing kinda lame before I got into it. Maybe I'll like cupstacking. Also, why do you have several stackmat timers. I'm sure some people may like to buy one off you.

I've got a few of them, coz a shop I used to work near bought a heap of them, and then couldn't sell them. So I bought a few to take them off their hands. I'll bring a few on Sunday in case people want to buy them.

The ones I've got are the Speedstacks Competitor Packs. The bottom one on this page.

They're selling them there for $69.95 plus $16 postage, and I bought them for about $45 each, and haven't used them. I'd probably be willing to part with them for $30.

@Dave. Sure come along. There will be some other 20? year olds (Tim, Paul and Ninja)

Erm, how much for the cups only

Yah, I may buy the same if it's on offer. I already have a timer and a bag. I may want to buy the mat though? I guess you might not be selling them individually, and I might not like speedstacking.

[DemotioN]

Might.

 

[RainbowBoy]

Anthony- Confirmed
Eric (My friend)- Possible - He will only compete in 3x3
And my name is still in the sq-1 row.

 

[Tim Major]

I'm gonna beat you in 3x3 if I can come David. I think I average around 26ish now.

Also, hooray everyone. Melbourne has been announced the best sporting city in the world. Does cubing count as sport? Maybe that helped us get there

 

[popstar_dave]

Hi, Folks. As you could probably tell by my absence, I couldn't make it down today. I will endeavour, however, to make it to the next one - and bring those stacking sets, as discussed.

I'm assuming that any announcements will happen in this thread, so I'll keep an eye out here.

Hope it all went well.

 

[Faz]

Yep. Was a really great meetup, even though Tim didn't come . I failed at 3x3, with a 13, and a DNF lol. I had an 8.71 tho.

I had 2.79 2x2 avg
4x4 was ok i guess
pyra - well, fail, but i beat zb at least.
OH was normal.
bld was epic fail

My 42 cube relay was retarded.
I nearly got mugged on the way home by a gang of 4 people (about 15 y/o)
Pappas - those guys that got on at Richmond when you came on.
Luckily, they were slow at running

 

[*LukeMayn*]

WTF O.O mugged?

Lucky Feliks. I remember them as well, they looked like idiots. Still annoyed about my stackmat though. If anyone has it let me know.

 

[Faz]

Luke, msn. Pappas, yeah. Hopefully the stackmat turns up.

 

[arckuss123]

I have a feeling that the asian man took it.
I got 19.60 today, it was my first ever.

 

[RainbowBoy]

'That asian man' was weird.
Did I hear he was saying something like we cheat or somthing? o.o

The meetup was good. As soon as Jeremy learns 2-look oll and pll, I would be the slowest 3x3-er in Melbourne, possibly....

David beat me in 3x3.

So did Anh.

OBTW, we've gone over our internet cap, so my non-lucky (one move 2x2 though) 3x3 13.90 solve can't be uploaded for 6 days until the cap comes back.

 

[edw0010]

I found a cube in my bag that wasnt mine :s Think it might be paul or Ninja's if your missing one lemme know, ill have the results up tonight on my website, link will be here when its done

 

[Tim Major]

My 2x2 broke. Damn Rowe. I didn't even throw it, I just dropped it. (I was using a breaking in method he used at US nationals. I'll order a screw spring one from popbuying soonish).

I was going to try and mod the broken 2x2 with the mini ds, but I don't have a dremel, and a router would probably melt it.

Btw, anyone need 3 Mefferts centre pieces for 5x5?

 

[jianziboy]

lol the asain man
