Greetings from Fresno, CA

[Streakist]

I recently picked up cubing as a hobby, since there isn't much else to do here in Fresno. Originally, I learned the beginner's method from the instructions that came with my cube. I've since started learning Fridrich, I'm doing intuitive F2L(although I think my intuition is wrong for a few cases) I'm also doing 4 Look LL as a starting point to full OLL/PLL. I'm around 1 minute average for now, so I've got a ways to go. I've been primarily using Badmephisto's videos/website for reference with a bit of Dan's Cube Station for those tricky F2L cases.

I'm using a storebought at the moment that I've sanded and lube into a very nice cube that actually cuts corners and doesn't really lock up. I also just ordered about 9 different cubes from popbuying since i have the money, hopefully I like at least 1 of them.

I'm 30, so you don't have to worry about another annoying newb kid starting 5 threads on the same subject. In fact this will probably be the only thread I ever start, but I might comment on some of yours.

I could tell from your location, that's an accurate description of this part of the State. I guess I should update my location to match

Greetings! I live in Modesto, and its almost as bad as fresno, thus I have a lot of time to cube as well. Welcome to the forums!

You live in a great area for cubing! Stanford and Berkley both have comps each season I believe. That is a great place to meet new cubers!

Nah, it's actually not terrible. It just get's boring, Kellann in Bakersfield and dunpeal2064 in Modesto probably know what I mean. Look's like I just missed the nearby comps, but I want to go to one soon.

Seems there are plenty of cubers in the valley, maybe we can meet up sometime/somewhere?

My friend moved away to there.
If you see a break dancing guy named Tate or a girl named Jordan, tell them "Calvin said hi. "

I didn't know what to get so I bought a bunch.
1 x C4U
1 x Ghosthand
1 x Dayan
1 x Type FII
1 x Type AV
1 x YongJun
1 x Type C
1 x mini Type C
1 x Haiyan Cube

Ordered them at the end of January and they just shipped on Feb 25th so hopefully they will get here soon.

Sounds good. I'm not good enough to compete but I'd like to check it out.

Nice you meet you all, there's way more cubers in the Central Valley than I thought.
