Hi SpeedSolving community,
I'm a 44-year-old guy from Spain and I'm new to this wonderful place where i expect to learn a lot from you all.
I got my 1st rubik's cube 30 years ago when I was 13-14 and I learned to solve it with "beginners" method. My all time best back then was 48 seconds or so. Long time passed but last year I somehow got interested again in cubing and got a Dayan Zhanchi stickerless for me and another one for my 10-year-old son. Since then, I have been learning and practicing Friedrich method for like 6-7 months already and have gotten down to a PB single of 17.40 and an avg. of 5 of 22.48. I have learned all PLLs and almost all 54? OLLs. Still trying to work on my F2L look-ahead, empty-slot usage, back-slot insertion, etc. Also I think I need to work on my dexterity when executing OLL/PLL (my recognition is decent I'd say).
In those 6 months, I have also bought some more cubes, like MoYu HuangYing, Weilong and AoLong, Shengshou Aurora, FangShi ShuanRen, JY Sulong, a 2x2 MoYU LingPo and some terrible Diang Sheng 4x4 stickerless (I'm waiting for a MoYu AoSu to come in my mail soon, though). My main right now is the MoYu AoLong.
By the way, this NL that some people has on their signatures... does that mean Non-Lucky? If that is so, my PB single NL would be an 18.61 (no lucky x-cross, nor OLL-PLL skips).
So, being 44 I find it difficult to get extremely fast but, still, I hope I can get sub-20 and that's my goal. When/If I achieve that I would also like to try blindfold (I succeeded twice with classic Pochman but it took me more than 15-20 minutes).
So, this is me. Thanks in advance for your help in improving!
