If you've been cubing for that long, that would usually be a case.

Also, a lack of exercise can cause a lack of circulation throughout the body. If you cube too much and don't exercise enough, your hands will start to have less blood(this is the case for video games like League of Legends, but I'm assuming it works for cubing as well).

Lol I play league so that's no good lol. But I am in fairly good shape and get moderate exercise.

Also i need to say this, Type 1 diabetes is not caused by bad shape, that's type 2. I never knew that before I got it and alot of people tell me I should have watched what I ate and I'm like I do! Lol.

Am I the only one who has this problem on the Fangshi where the edge caps fly off during a solve? If so how can I fix it?

Cut your fingernails, diassemble and reassemble the cube with more precision using more pressure on the pieces, chill out during solves or glue the pieces together. Check if it's always the same cap that pops or if its caps in general.
 
Has anyone ordered stickers from the cube specialists in Germany? I'm trying to create an account and it seems to go through but it won't let me login. I haven't got a email verification link or anything. Any ideas?
 
So you learnt from Noah and have solved it?

Yes I did, from these 5 videos:

(The current and next 4 videos in that playlist.)

I am not very good, I have only been successful about 5 times and have tried maybe 12 times, but that is because I never practice or commit to it. If you want to be good at BLD you really need to commit to it. And my lack of skill is on me, noah's videos are incredibly insightful and very easy to follow.
 
Quick question if anyone has any tips. I am getting good at doing cross and good at doing F2L, but I really suck at the transition from cross to F2L. Is there anything I can do to have a better transition? Even if the cross is super simple I seem to freeze up in the transition. Thanks for any tips

Practice doing the cross bld, then when you go back to doing it sighted, don't look at the cross at all during execution. Focus only on looking for your first pair
 
Quick question:

Does anybody get tingling in their fingers after so many solves? The tingling feels sort of like when your arm or leg falls asleep, but only in your fingertips and its not really painful, just noticeable.

I've been cubing today since basically 3pm (its currently 7pm, I live in central time zone, so 4 hours consecutively), and now my fingers feel really funny. It may be because I am a type 1 diabetic, which means insulin and blood sugar and all that stupid crap, but for me to take my blood sugar I have to prick my finger, and I do that 4-5 times a day, and I wonder if that little pin prick is the cause of this strange tingling, because I don't remember this happening ever before I was diagnosed. (Diagnosed in January of this year, been cubing since June of last year.)

I'm T1 diabetic too (13 years now) and can't remember ever having this feeling when cubing.
