Hello

[Sile]

Been taking cubing seriously for about 3 months now. I have known beginner's method for awhile now, probably a year but never progressed further until now due to lack of motivation and lack of resources. My average I am not sure exactly but it is around 1 minute give or take a few seconds. I have recently quit solving the cube and been dedicating most of my cubing time to focusing on F2L and advanced cross ideas which most of my resources is BadMephisto, Thrawst and RobH0629 on Youtube. There are others that have great tutorials and videos for me to learn from but most recently it has been BadMephisto. Other than that I am also an XCM artist which stands for Xtreme Card Manipulation (www.handlordz.com). I have been doing this for 11 years. I think because of this unique hobby I have with xcm ultimately lead me to being fascinated with speed cubing and gave it a shot! :tu I have actually put my xcm on hold to focus mostly on cubing!

Hello and welcome to the forum.

A quick question, would you say that Speedcubing is included in "X-treme Hand Sportz"?

Hello and welcome to the forum.

A quick question, would you say that Speedcubing is included in "X-treme Hand Sportz"?

I would say it does. If you goto www.superhandz.com Cup stacking along with other xtreme hand sports are presented here. I would like to think that cubing does belong in this category. Once I get more decent and my solves are around 30 seconds I was going to throw a video on Handlordz forums and discuss the similarities and what not to cubing being noted as a xtreme hand sport. I have yet to see any videos on cubing or threads on cubing in the Handlordz forums or any others. So if it goes over well that's more recognition for cubers and for xcm artists, its a win win!

lol, got a similar chain like that too, started cubing, saw a penspinning video on this forum, started penspinning, and saw a thread about XCM at UPSB, and now im considering starting with XCM or card flourishing xD

btw, welcome to the forums

So I was browsing Youtube watching Cube videos and saw a upload by someone I subscribe to...He made this with Chris Dzoan. The channel is TheCuso which covers a lot of XCM. SO now I can say that yes! Cubing has been recognized . And I think in light of that I wanted to show you guys another unique hand manipulation:
