Cubing Mentor

At this point in my career, probably Rowan Kinneavy

I was reading through this thread and thinking this exact same thing. Except, he has helped me a great deal on MSN. It's unfortunate that some of the things he's told me to practice take me awhile to get good at, because that puts my motivation to practice those things lower on the chain.

Until I saw this thread, I was about to think Rowan didn't get much credit. I don't see much reference to him outside of his awesome CFOP writeups.

Rowan: You really need to get that site up and going :)

Other Mentors:
Chris Hardwick was my first instructor outside of my friend who taught me how to do the 3x3. Chris didn't know this though, because I found his website :P
Chris + Mike for BLD most definitely. I am a bit more spoiled than most, and since I live close to Mike, he can show me BLD stuff at meetups.
Kirjava most definitely for other method information. Stachu is great in this department too (it doesn't matter if he isn't sub15, he's got loads of information).
And I feel like Erik, Joel, and Badmephisto are all given.
Rowe's great with giving help too (from what I've seen, at least. I haven't really interfaced w/him much), but his "ums" in videos really crack me up :P

I think that if Feliks might not be considered to be a good mentor (yet), I think he could still give loads of advice to anybody, no matter how obvious it seemed. He still knows a good bit about the cube, has great recognition (could probably provide a good amount of tips here), and great turn speed. While I'm sure that most of his ability is natural talent, he still has toned that talent quite well.
 
I was going to say Breanden, but his F2L just would not fit my style. For 3x3 I would actually pick Kevin Hays, His F2L is like mine, but he is just so much better at recognition then me. I think I would pick him for everything from 3x3-7x7. 2x2 I would pick Mr. Brooks because I've actually met him and he seems like a cool guy. :)
