    What do you do when cubing?

    A lot of the time I'm cubing to fill time, walking, on bus etc. But I just do whatever, music, tv. Unless I'm properly practicing then I only occasionally listen to music. If I'm blindfold solving I listen to music during memo and turn off for the solve. :)

    Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

    Within one school lunchtime I had 4 teachers and 5 friends ALL say that they just peel the stickers off and put them back on... one person is okay for me. But 9 is taking the P**s A seperate instance I'm walking out of school gates, just finished a solve (whilst the teachers on duty were...

    Main cube progression

    My progression has been. Rubik's Storebought > Ghosthand G1 > Dayan Guhong > Dayan Zhanchi. I have to say going through 4 cubes in the space of... about 2 months is probably not too good. but considering I've gone from a 2 minute solver to a sub 45 solver in two months I'd say it goes hand in...

    Memory Methods

    My memorization method is very much "off the cusp" per solve. However I follow a set of guidelines. I label each position on the edges as a letter A-X including the buffer position (therefore I can keep reference wven when changing methods.) Regularly I use Person action object on a normal...

    BLD Mentors/Tutors

    The idea was not to be spoonfed but to have somewhere directly for people like myself to find the bld experts to pm. I am relatively new to the forums and therefore know nothing of the people whom do different things. In terms of my help even just a blindfold solver who I can talk to regularly...

    BLD Mentors/Tutors

    Greetings all Blindsolvers. Blindsolving is a difficult task and has always been high on my priorities to learn however i couldn't find the direct support to do so. I thought a place in the forums directly formed for finding a mentor / student for blindsolving would not only help the community...

    SpeedCube Shop Uk

    A service to ordered cubes would be good, rather than send in. We say buy a lubrication service with a new cube from the site and you then lubricate that order for sending. Along those lines. But yeah good idea.

    Ideas - How to 'practice' memorization?

    Some great suggestions here! This is all good. I have to say the post from cmhardw is very useful. I think the failure zone technique will be really effective!

    Ideas - How to 'practice' memorization?

    Now before I annoy anyone this is not a thread about "what method should I choose?" I would like to gather peoples ideas on how to actually practice memorization. Primarily with visual and tapping for corners and lettered edges with stories. Now I find it difficult to break into new cycles and...

    I am happy to buy cubes when I have the cash. Which hopefully is soon after I have finished this painting job. I am definitely gonna be a long term buyer if you keep your prices reasonable etc. I can't really recommend good brands, just follow these guy's advice :D

    Sounds good, do corners need a letter/number for each sticker then too? I may just steal a labelling method that I find easy from some of the tutorials kicking round.

    Sounds Good 5BLD, I am scrapping my M2 notes because It's hurting my head. I couldn't do it looking. never mind starting to memorise. So Full Pochmanns it is. I can do the corners of Old pochmann now. Don't know whether it's a good thing to practice just memorising and doing corners and edges...

    Greetings - MrSpike

    Thanks Insane569, It's good to be here. And that's sound advice. I have learnt Old Pochmann corners.. Trying to learn M2 Edges but it's a pain, would you recommend full Old Pochmann? Also, I need to start finding memo techniques that will apply to the technique, got any ideas? :)

    I know, I just hear a lot of people from south England say "North, so Manchester?" It's more midlands as far as I am geographically in England xD

    Greetings - MrSpike

    Hey dude, I am in Durham County. Not gonna specify any further on the internet, but definitely North East. Not like the southerners who reckon Manchester is the north... No offence to anyone, but it's annoying xD. But yeah! You're not alone! :D
