Hello everyone

[xlmmaarten]

Hello!
I'm all new to speedcubing and stated only a week ago.
Really liking it and getting averages of 1:35/45 most of the time with beginners methode.
Learning f2l but hating to get slower times (I know slow down to get faster but that's just me)
I have a normal Rubik's cube and it's stiff as hell(ordered a shengshou but delivery takes 2-8 WEEKS)
Currently Sick at home so I do nothing but solving cubes and listening music.
The sides of my middle fingers started hurting today so vasaline to the rescue xD
Any tips/must know things are very welcome/appriciated.
Idk why I'm posting this at 3:30 am but fml...
So far this forum look very friendly with helpful people.
PB is 1:09,57

F2L is totally worth learning and practing!! Keep it up and you will get much faster!! Also, learn 2 look OLL and 2 look PLL when you get the chance.

With just F2l, and 2 look OLL/2 Look PLL, I just got a 20.02 second Ao5 with my rubiks brand. It can be done!

Welcome,there are a lots of Dutch speedcubers here.
For your question I don't know,but for short questions you can usually better use the one answer question thread.

Welcome! with begginers method u can be sub1 fairly easily. Also, people usually learn 4LLL before F2L. You can see this guide if you havent already, its really helpful. Enjoy your time here!

Welcome to the world of speedcubing!

As for advice, I would recommend you to immediately start solving the cross on the bottom.

 

[xlmmaarten]

Will try to do that today, how do you set up your camera in a way that you can see the cube in a good way?

Here is the link to the video of me solving: http://youtu.be/-mwOmi1LpWc
This solve is an average solve for me, did f2l yesterday with an average of 2 minutes, today its like 1:45 (at least this session)
