why people(cubers) do not tell you what they know

why people(cubers) do not tell you what they know.
I can only think of 3 reasons-
1- they can't explain it
2- they dont want people to be as good or
3- they dont want peole to know how

If someone knows it, they probably learned it fromm somewhere else. In that case (which is almost always the case) you can find that "somewhere else" yourself.

There are LOADS of tutorials out there.

WR holders don't really have "secrets", they're just better at what everyone does.

Stop it.

because a lot of good people just do whatever is already available to to everyone.

For example, someone finds a new and exciting alg. They just don't come up with it from thin air (sometimes it happens) just because they're good but you have programs like Acube and CubeExplorer to help find algs that are good.

They became good in the first place since they practiced.

FYI thrawst suggested that I put this on the speed solving forms. Otherwise I'd rarely post a topic

Got proof?

I love talking about my hax/tricks, and I'm quite the elitist bastard.

 

[Daniel Wu]

lol Kirjava. We all just suck. Whatever I can do, someone else can do the exact same thing the same way... just better.

Ya'll just trollin'.
You have a good reason for it, though.

Have some more likely reasons.
4) They've already explained in a tutorial or video, and don't want to have to say the entire explanation every time someone asks.
5) They do but you won't accept their answer (like if it's "practice a lot").
6) They have better things to do than personally answer questions from hundreds of novice cubers.

They could just be lazy, as well('tis my reason for not making a magic video, at least).

Or they are just have a "pre-cubing" edge. i.e, unnaturally quick hands, fast reflexes. I've heard from numerous sources, and witnessed that athletes such as swimmers and track runners have quicker reaction time than average people. The same could be possibly said for people who play lots of FPS type of games. I can't provide statistical evidence, but it would be a cubing advantage not attained via cubing. Pre-cubing advantage+work ethic+all of the "get faster" tuts that top solvers have already created prove you otherwise. That being said, I don't see how you think Erik Akkersdijk is holding out on you.

world record is teenager too ... genius but sufficiant

Group oldest of the web never tells the real story

Hmmm... Let's look at some of the top cubers:

Feliks Zemdegs - has a 5 part video tutorial on youtube about how to get faster

Rowe Hessler - has tutorials on 2x2, one-handed, CLL recognition and algs, etc

Harris Chan - has a channel on youtube with all of his OLLs and how he executes them

Erik Akkersdijk - has tutorials on beginner F2L, advanced F2L, his PLLs, etc


I've had the pleasure of talking to experts in other events in the chat room as well. Odder (WR holder for pyraminx) walked me through an example solve to show me a special trick for the Oka method. Ville Seppanen has shown me a few commutators and also explained his memo method.

There are tons of others such as Chris Hardwick, Mike Hughey, Eric Limeback, and the list goes on.

So in conclusion, I think there's plenty of tutorials and the like written by many experts.

You're retarded. Cubing is the only competitive "sport" in which everyone shares everything.

You're retarded. Anyone can balance chemical equations. Anyone can spin a pen the way you spin it. Noob.

You're retarded. That's not philosophy. Nietzsche is philosophy. Idiot.

If you want to be nitpicky about my blanket statements, it's your loss.
