Cubing generations

Just me talking about a thread I posted a while back. Feel free to correct anything I said and add your own models/opinions in the comments. It's sort of in a podcast style.

I am pretty sure that we are approaching whole next stage. I'd like to be consistent and say "Max Park Generation", but nah.. Speedcubing is on it's way to become a real sport. Big companies like Moyu, Gans, MFG or Yuxin are recruiting world-class cubers to promote their cubes. They are now getting paid for using their flagship cubes, wearing their apparel and they travel worldwide. It's so much bigger than before. People now finally have a real motivation to break records, it's not a pointless hobby anymore. I also like the idea of rivalry between countries on Worlds this year. I hope that WCA will come up with some more exciting ideas in the future. Or will it be RSA?
