Hello Speedsolving Community, This has been an idea I've been putting off sharing for over a year now. I've finally generated the algs that will allow me to feel comfortable making a post about this method (technique, really) I've been inspired by the creation of ZZ-CT to come up with. Now...

Hello Speedsolving, it's been a while. First off, big Kudos and much love to Chris Tran for development of this new branch of ZZ that is sexy af. There's obviously been a lot of buzz around this new sub-method and for good reason. It provides a LS+LL alternative where LL can be solved in 1-look...

*WARNING, 5 HOURS OF RAW FOOTAGE* I finally got around to uploading these videos. Despite the 5 hours of just repetitive cubing, there's a lot of funny commentary in here and even some beat boxing if you hang around long enough. Again, couldn't have done this without Michael NotKevin Young...

I'm proposing to start a new category of cubing called "UltraCubing". Really, this category already exists but I feel like it could help to gather these ideas into one sub-category. Where this idea stems from is the idea of ultra running, which is running distances greater than that of a...

Hello Speedsolving Forum, It's been a while, I just wanted to let you all know of the Guinness World Record I will be attempting to break on November 15, 2014 at the Azusa Canyon City Marathon and maybe get some tips and/or support for setting this record. The current record is 175 cubes solved...

So because I've been upping my mileage lately to about 100 miles a week, I usually do 15 miles training runs and today I decided to bring my cube along and see how many solves I could do. I ended up just going for however many I could do in a half-marathon distance (13.1 miles) and so I ended up...

I'm starting to post videos again so check it out! I don't think I've ever done a COL tutorial so here it is! If you are just learning F2L you MUST watch this video.

Hello, I have an idea for World Championships that I think would be pretty cool to see happen. I'm not sure if this idea has been discussed but here it is and I would like to know what others think. At Worlds, we have a unique situation where competitors come from all over the world, from...

Hey so I'm doing a marathon in June and I was wondering if anyone has ever attempted a Rubik's Cube Marathon. My idea for it would be to stop at each mile of the marathon to solve a cube (kinda like the Rubik's Mile) and the overall time it takes to finish the marathon will be the recorded time...

Since a new year is around the corner, and since cubing is always progressing at astonishing almost exponential rates, I wanted to hear your predictions for Records that will be broken next year. What do you think times will look like for the difference WCA events? What about cubing statistics...

Hello all, I am making this thread to hear what you all think about allowing people to do official solves outside of the competition setting. I have been thinking seriously about this issue for a while and decided that it is at least worth proposing the general community. Let me explain in...

Saw this in a bookstore and I did a double take. Alright now its time for a SURPRISE CHALLENGE! No escaping. You must now go to the nearest freezer, or faucet with running cold water, and freeze your hands for one minute. Now you must solve a cube one handed and post your time. GO!

Hello all, I was wondering as another year of regulations approaches, what you all thought about the use of energy drinks and caffeine by competitors at competitions. I might be mistaken but as it is now there is no regulation of "performance-enhancing" products. I know it seems kinda...

I was trying to see if my tps has improved and look! It has. This is almost as fast as I can do it 2H.

Prepared solve. Sub-2HWR. HA. B2 R' B R D U2 R2 B F2 R' B' D' F2 D2 R F' R U2 D' B' L' B D2 L2 U'. X-Cross: z' x2 r U2 x' R2 U2 z' x' F2L 2: R' U2 R U' R' U R F2L 3: U' z U' R U R' U' R' U F2LL 4: z' U2 R U2 R' U R U R' U' R U' R' LL: U 32 moves + 5.58 seconds = 5.73 TPS.

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/11/japan.quake/?hpt=T2 Check it out. That's crazy. My thoughts go out to those in Japan.

So this is the same as the other one, but I want exclusively one-handed times. So do either (R U' R' U)x6 or (R U R' U')x6 one-handed and post your best time. You can use either keyboard or stackmat, whichever you prefer (as long as you get an accurate measurement). Also, post your fastest...

So I still have one of those rare Joy Cubes that people are still looking for these days. It's still a good cube but I hardly use it anymore. Will trade for Guhong but I want it speed shipped. Let me know if you're interested ASAP. If you live in california, all the better. First one with a...

So, I'm desperate. My cube exploded recently, pieces fell off the bus. Long story short, I need 2 guhong edge pieces. If you're in the California area (or even if you're not) and can help, I'd appreciate it. Willing to make a deal. This was my main cube for OH and 2H. I could just buy another...

8.65, 8.37, 7.50, 9.77, 10.60, 9.27, 8.62, (23.24), 8.19, (7.22), 9.61, 7.94 I was actually supposed to do this a while ago (in 2009 before cubers in real life started getting sub-9) but I put it off until now.
