I remember back when fazrulz1 was a nub over on the MasterTheCube forums. He had a cool avatar.

well, not really history yet, but I love what ShengShou is doing lately.
first with the 8X8 then with a cubic 7.. They make great cubes for very fair prices. I think most of their cubes rival, if not surpass other leading companies in most sizes.
I'm counting on SS to release a cubic 9, and any 10!

Probably the 9.21 average or 5.66 single.

Or the Haiyan deal and the Chilean clock guy. Pretty interesting.

Balint's series of WRs.

Erik's 7.08 probably. That's what motivated me to start seriously practicing. I remember I used to think that all the fast solvers saw God's algorithm and that's how they solved so fast lol.

Yeah, back then when I was still a nub I thought the pros memorized every single possible position on the cube (didn't know there were over 43 quintillion back then ).

Sitting in front of Rowe when he got his 6.94 a little while after Feliks broke the WR was a pretty bizarre yet awesome experience.

I judged that solve. Pretty crazy.

My favourite part in cubing history is Rubik's hype in the 80s.
