New Lurker-Turned-Member

[Chenkar]

Hey everybody! My name is Riley and I'm a Canadian cuber living in Saskatchetoon! As the topic suggests, I've been a lurker in the community for 1.5 years and finally decided ta join in. I've been speedcubing since July 2012, but i've known LBL for like 5-6 years.

My method/time progression:
That summer, I remembered I could cube after a year or two without, so I got a new one and timed myself and was 2:30. I progressed to learn 4LLL and by Sept I was sub-1. I then stumbled across Roux and tried this 'new strat' which was really cool. After 2ish weeks, I found what would be my main method, while browsing youtube; asmallkitten's ZZ tutorials taught me all I needed about this ergonomic method. So I got good (for a n00b) with ZZ, sub-30 and since then, i'd be on and off of ZZ just learning different ideas to find something that could suit me better. So far, ZZ is the best, but I've been leaning towards Triangular Francisco for a while. That's my story!

Interesting facts about me:
I made some crappy vids on TFM
I believe TFM has potential
3x3 pb is 15.363, avg 20±5
4x4 pb is 1:08, avg 1:30
Ive learned >14 3x3 methods
Sub-30 with maybe 6

Welcome! Cool story. My favourite is how many 3x3 methods you've learned. Once in awhile I like to learn a new one too. That's quite awhile lurking. I wonder what current member we have has the record for lurking before becoming a member. It would be cool if you made Triangular Francisco your main method and then got really fast at it. I want to learn it just because it has such a cool name but right now I only know the idea behind it. Never really practiced it or anything. Anyway, glad you're not lurking anymore!
