Hi UJlikescubes , welcome aboard , have fun on the forums !

Greetings Torrente and welcome back! I learned to do the simple layer by layer method back in 1984 so I am an older cuber too now :) Recently though I finished writing a guidebook that deals with Fridrich's CFOP method. I would recommend learning CFOP because it is good transitional method from...

Hi cubefans! Check out my new cube guide on ebay. It is entitled "Reflections on Rubik's Cube"

Greeting cubefans! :p The Raventoe is pleased to announce that the writing of her long awaited new speedcubing guide is finished and available on ebay for your immediate perusal :D The guide is entitled -- Reflections on Rubik's Cube An entry level guide to speedcubing using the Fridrich...

Hi Mike , welcome to the forums ! I might have just the tool you are looking for :cool: although the method is untried and untested :rolleyes:. But recently I just finished writing a guide book that covers 2 look OLL and how to transition to the single look OLL as well. The guide doesn't include...

Greetings gamingcuber ! Those times are wicked fast compared to mine :mad: Welcome aboard !

Hi Andy! Are you still cubing these days? What are you up too? I come not to bury the great wolf but to praise him! :p I have been using your guides and have found them to be exceedingly well crafted :cool: and the way in which you organized them to aid in memorization is definitely...

Thanks speedpicker. I was doing the last alg you mentioned R U R' U' U' R U R' U' R U R' but the way I was doing it was far from sexy :p but now it is easily one of my fastest alg so I'm using that one in my solves. However, your other alg is also interesting because I did not realize you could...

Funny stuff dude. Good to see some cubers have a good sense of humor as well as mad skillz. I guess this thread is pretty old now but new for me so thanks for the laughs. :)

Nice what method are you using to solve it the CFOP is what I'm using. I'd say if your cube only cost you $2 before that it must've been pretty bad since a store bought name brand is around $8, so most of your time increase will be from the cube rather than the lube. However your did manage a 17...

Take your time mon as there is plenty to go over in just these I'd say. I have watched most of them several times but you are moving pretty fast like watchin some street shuckster doin 3-card monty but as far as I can grok it provides a way to look at the cube from a variety of angles with your...

Man, these are awesome vids! Thanks from a cube noob w/o any lube :cool: ( Actually I bought some heavy duty silicon from walmart ) I just got the speed cubes I ordered from cube4you site today and am building my first DIY now. When I watched these vids it inspired me to start all over so I'm...
