Hey everyone

[Talon2461]

Hi, I am Talon2461, been speed cubing for a while now (not sure exactly how long). Always been interested in cubing and now i think i've become rather experienced. Here are some facts that you might like to know

Currently my average is sub 20
I used the Fridrich method solve the cube (F2L, OLL, PLL)
I currently use the cube F-II as i find it is really smooth
I have learnt all PLL's and am currently working on OLL's (38/57)

Hopefully i could meet some pretty cool people here :tu

welcome nice to see another uk cuber

Nice to see you on the forums! Your average is pretty fast, but you still haven't reached your potential, I see! Hopefully the community here at speedsolving.com can help you do just that.

 

[Talon2461]

Thanks ChrissyD for the welcome. I haven't seen a lot of UK cubers around Youtube and in competitions and stuff Hopefully there will be more soon. I didn't think my average was that fast, Mostly the cross is the hardest part for me. I also hope the community will help me, it seems like a nice place here

Hello, hope you become better.

Hi, and welcome! I'm a UK cuber too! Too bad we don't have many competitions (yes, i know I missed guildford)...
I would most certainly go to the next competition here... (nudge nudge mum and dad)
Im on YouTube, we might wanna analyse each others' videos and stuff... Fun!

Just to say, there will (most likely) be a competition in Bristol around this November

 

[5BLD]

Really? Hope I can go... It's a bit of a drive but it's alright isn't it? (again, hope my parents agree)
Edit: oh no. Bristol. That's very far from London... Fingers crossed...

 

[Talon2461]

HI 5BLD, yeah there was a competition in Guildford but i couldn't get transportation there and back. If there is a competition in Bristol in november i will certainly go. Hopefully my average goes down to 15 or so . I just watched some of your videos and they look much faster than mine :O. I hope to get some videos up but i need a tripod, can anyone recommend one?

 

[5BLD]

Competition: I could, but my parents said it's too far although it's an hour train from here. And we even went up to Scotland for holiday last week... Weird.
Doesn't look that I can go... Just gotta keep hoping I guess...

Tripod: I use boxes and a random piece of Lego...

Hello

 

[Talon2461]

Hmm boxes and lego. I might try that. I see that you use Roux method, i had a look at it a while back and it seems complicated but fast :O. I will try to get a video up sooner or later with a sub 20 average of 5

 

[5BLD]

K... Looking forward to it.

 

[chrissyD]

i'll definitely be going to the next competition. Wish it could be earlier than november but it'll be worth the wait.

hello.
About F II cube. I heard it is very bad after 1000 solves. It turns very hard etc. I'd recommend you to buy DY guhong or zhanchi

Hm... Wish it was exactly in the two weeks I have off school in October-November. Otherwise I have absolutely no chance of going.

Really. I've had mine for about a month now and it still seems fine, but i might by a Zhanchi as that's a popular one among many top speed cubers
