[Official] A solve of a 50-year-young cuber

[Ton]

Thanks to Axel Deuter (52 years young cuber) who filmed me

Nice, Ton!

I have 11 months to go before I'm there. I'll see if I can at least get sub-20 by then, but I know I won't be anywhere near as fast as you.

 

[Nestor]

So I can keep cubing decently for at least 15 more years? Great!

 

[Ton]

Nice, Ton!

You can do this also , my turning speed is only 3 to 4 turns a second, you must be able to turn at this speed. So practise a bit and optimize your steps. I am sure you will be able to get sub 20 soon. Your are almost there , I speeded up a lot after practise the 4x4 a lot, maybe this will help you also. Success!

Awesome job Ton!
Mike: come on, you can't let Ton win so easily

 

[Crazycubemom]

Congrats Ton

I'm still dreaming when I can beat my husband

@ Mike: You beat Ton with your Amazing Bld

I have 39 more years. Sent this to my (46 year old) dad. =P

Thanks, Ton - you're a real inspiration!

This is... Awesome. The ultimate go slow and look ahead.
Awesome turning style

 

[IamWEB]

Ton!

Nice thumbs up :tu :tu.

 

[ianography]

Why do you say this is slow...?

 

[Pyjam]

Beautiful. Congrats Ton.

May I ask how old you were when you started speedcubing?

 

[Tim Major]

my 54 year old Dad is lagging behind with his 2 minute solves. (1:20~ pb). I'll show this video to him as inspiration

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Manly.

i find it interesting that he contributes his success in 3x3 speedsolve to 4x4. i was stuck at around 20 for a long time as well, but after a long time of practicing big cubes 4,5 for almost 5 months with barely touching a 3x3, i dropped sub 20 after that easily for some reason. it just seems so easy to turn the cube and the lookahead skill is developed a lot when doing bigcubes. very interesting.

 

[Selkie]

Fantastic!

At 41 years old myself and just hit sub 30 after 3 months it gives me great inspiration to see this :tu

Can I ask when you started cubing Ton?

I absolutely agree with this.

Couldnt agree more, i found that logic out after getting around 50 sec solves. I thought solving a "harder" cube would help lower my times. After being able to get sub 2:30 on a 4x4 it helped me reach about 40 seconds on a 3x3 solve after a few weeks

 

[Zane_C]

I wasn't expecting a time this fast when I read the title. Very good!

 

[teller]

4x4, eh? Alright then...
