Yea, well I work security at an airport hence the name lol, but it's the reason why I took this hobby. While working I see quite a few people from all over solving the cube pretty fast. Then I had decided to go get myself one.

After a week of doing that thing I finally solved it ( you can imagine how excited I was ), then I decided to see if i could do it faster ( less than 4 days LOL ). Turns out my girlfriend is pretty fast at solving them... as I thought she was messing up my cube while we were driving when we got to the light I saw it solved and I wanted to know the secret and she sayed "petrus method" and then she did the cube blindfolded! I wanted to know that secret too and she said "3 cycle method". and that's what led me into the world of "speedcubing".

and through trying to find out about these method's i've found this forum, http://www.cubefreak.net/BLD/3OP_guide.html, and
http://lar5.com/cube/

yea. I've learned the Petrus and my girlfriend showed me how to do the last layer and now I solve the cube now in about 50 seconds. Now im learning the 3 cycle. and whatever else you can do with a single cube.

So yea that's about it....also im an aspiring polyglot ( someone who speaks multiple languages ). I don't know how im learning the languages, but im learning them lol, slowly though. I dable in the one's i've listed above. (English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, German, Vietnamese, Tagalog, bahasa indonesian, russian, egyptian arabic, mandarin chinese..you meet alot of people at the LAX airport lol ). I can't get deep into learning because of work, school, girlfriend, ect. So if anyone has advice on language learning, or some music in the above languages that would be great too!. I try to learn something everyday.

Okay yea, I wrote alot... but hmmm that's it. Ummmm I don't know if my age, ethnicity and all that jazz are necessary. and sorry that my grammar sucks lol. Unless it's a college paper im not really going to try.

yea.... are there any people I should know of in this community? and why.

P.S. I already know about the search bar folks, so don't tell me to use it LOL. Im prety active on a diff fourm and I know how it feels.

Welcome to the world of speedcubing. And your girlfriend shouldn't get in the way of cubing if she does it too. You can do romantic speedsolves and team blindfold solving!

My only real suggestion is to find a method you enjoy doing.

Yay! 안녕하세요! Another korean-speaking cuber!
Yay for an experienced forum-er (??)!!

내 불쌍한 한국이다 LOL!!!, but I meet alot of korean's and I practice with them when I get a chance and they teach me new thing's, but Im still on a beginner level. They are always very shocked to see a black guy speaking korean lolol.

Welcome! Another cuber is born. Happy day for the Petrus people, I can assume. I'm just another Fridrich clone, though, but with a little uniqueness. This thread is good for knowing your cubers http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?p=312436
All the people who have linked names are talked about often here.

Thanks!!! That was an interesting read. Hopefully I can get a solve under 12 seconds like most of those listed, but if i can't it's okay lol. I can only do my best.

LOL!!! a team blindfold solve during a candlelight dinner sounds fun, but when she talks about cubes in depth I tend to get lost, so that won't happen for a while haha.

and Petrus method is fun. I like building the blocks there are sooooo many ways to do it.. no pun intended, but yea. haha

Welcome to the forum.

So first of, this forum is filled with some very awesome and dedicated members and we all want to help each other get better. Most everyone is friendly as long as you...

1. Use proper grammar and spelling.

2. Don't make claims that aren't true or try and argue something you know nothing about. (I'm not trying to be mean, just giving you all the info. I can. :) )

3. (Optional). Lurk around the forum before posting. Not really necessary if you feel comfortable with what your posting.

4. Try and better the community. It's what we all want.

Also, just in the general scheme of "speedcubing", their are two types of solve: Lucky and Non-lucky. A "lucky solve" means you had a skip (IE. PLL / OLL skip.) A non-lucky solve means you completed all the steps. Their are also single solves and averages, (in competition, you do an average of 5 to determine where you place in the competition). The world record official solve is 7.08 seconds, done by Erik Akkersdijk . It was a lucky solve, because he got a PLL skip. Heres a Video of it. . The world record average was recently set by Feliks Zemdegs. It is the first official sub 10 average in competition. Video of it. Both Feliks and Erik are members of this community, as well as many other amazing cubers. Their are tons of events, like Big Cubes, in which Dan Cohen rains supreme. Heres a list of official events, and the best times in those events. http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/events.php . You can find some great tutorials from people on youtube like BadMephisto . The wiki is a collection of all our cubing knowledge. If we have an alg, it's there. Have fun getting better and enjoy the forums (and sorry if you know most of this)!

Will try, it's just that for the most part im not going to double check mistakes, im just going to let them be for the most part lol.

I don't lie.....for the most part lol.

meh

I will try, but there isn't much I can do to better it seeing as im still just a noob. I can only show kindness and encourage people as of right now.

Thanks!!! but badmephisto dosen't have any petrus stuff so it's not that helpfull to me right now. I plan on going to a competition soon as I ha ve some time off of work. Caltech isn't too far away from my girlfriends house haha. I just don't know what to expect besides a bunch of people solving cubes.

I might get into big cubes soon, but seeing as they don't ha ve em at walmart and I really don't like ordering online it's going to take some time haha.

Wow. Mariming languages ka inaaral. Good luck and welcome to the forums (:
