Event with the least attention-feet?

[speedcuber50]

Hi!

I've just been wondering why feet never gets any attention. I mean, if you google "speedcubing OH" you get one-handed cubing, if you google "speedcubing BLD" you get blindfold cubing, but if you google "speedcubing WF" you get a couple of crap videos of asian guys taking around 5 minutes to solve the thing. Why? Have you noticed this? Where are all the good WF resources? (I assume there must be some, otherwise WF wouldn't exist.)

What are your thoughts on this?

Regards,

I personally don't know any at all. The only thing that feet-ers start off with is usually some youtube videos of fast solves and advice from friends. I do however have a very short Feet Solving section on my cubing site (see sig).

I'm sorry, but that doesn't actually give any feet solving resources.

Does give some for me atleast

That's kinda what I said.

EDIT: I seem to remember seeing a post around here somewhere a while back with a video on how best to grip the cube.

EDIT 2: Also, I can't even find "youtube videos of fast solves".

I also feel like the organizers at Worlds find it to be a joke, $2.00? Really?

but now it's at $100/50/26 for 1st/2nd/3rd due to donations

I agree that feet is often discriminated against, but it certainly is not the event with the least attention. It gets a lot of attention just because people hate it so much. Clock gets way less attention than feet.

Master magic was the most ignored event until they removed it. The next event to be removed will probably be square-1, then feet, then clock, then multiblind, then 5bld, then 7x7, 6x6, 4bld, 3bld, pyraminx, megaminx, 2x2, 5x5, then 4x4.

Yeah I'm sure all those events are eventually going to be removed >____________>

Maybe it gets so little attention because it is so arbitrary.
Why feet? Why not elbows or teeth and tongue?

And it should be because it's stupid and shouldn't be an event.

I didn't say it was wrongfully discriminated against

Why one hand? Why not elbows teeth or tongue?

 

[~Adam~]

As it happens I don't solve one handed.
My reasoning? I have 2 hands. But I can see the point in it. At least you have dexterity in a single hand.

However, take your shoes and socks off
and solve a cube several feet away from you face with appendages which are not evolved to do intricate movements? Really?

A logical path from 2H to OH to FT.

No, it isn't logical in any way. It's ridiculous for ridiculous sake. I understand that you enjoy it and I'm not trying to get at you for it but it is less logical in my opinion than solving with elbows.

How often does the average person open a door using a handle with their elbow compared to feet? Much more often I would wager. Why? Because it is more easier to do so.

I suppose I should've come up with a better example but I honestly can't think of anything I would use my feet for if I can't use my hand for some reason.
