Preparing a OH cube

[bubblebuddy73]

Hi everyone, I am interested in finding out in what ways people prepare their OH cubes. Might include how loose you like your cube, if you sand off imperfections, how you lube it ect....
-Thanks

Yes Yes Yes! I have vacation now, I finished all the PLL's, I will post them on my section of Erik's site.
I know a way how to break a cube faster by some scraping with a X-Acto knife. The only this that I need a big tripod for this to have a nice camera angle.

Cool Rama! I will go check out your section on Erik's site.

I will post it when it's up (the pll's)
the making of an OH cube isn't really that special tough.

Ok, ya I checked Erik's site and they were not up yet, so just let me know when.

I uploaded some of my PLL's on my Youtube acount, it's nothing special, you'll just realize it's mostly just fast turning.

Is the rest of your site up Rama? I guess i'll check faster then you will answer eh. Unfortunately after watching your first few OH PLL videos our styles have taken different paths and I use different finger tricks but maybe I'll still learn something.

No, my laptop keeps doing crazy stuff if I go to Youtube.

Well I have my toughts about the ''Pinky-fingertrick'', it's sure fast, I am 4 seconds slower on average without really practising it.
But I noticed when there is just a little bit of mental pressure you can lock up very easily.

Edit: That style is good for Ryan, he's so relaxed, it's just unbelievable.

Hmm I think if you practice it enough you will not lock-up more than you do with any other fingertrick. And I use it but I am not near as relaxed as Ryan...
He was having to try to calm me down between our solves because I was getting so nervous haha.

Lol, Lofty needs a chill pill

Does anyone know if Ryan uses that pinky finger trick? I started to use it and kinda like it.

Rama, when I first started using it I locked a lot too but I kept practicing it and I don't lock anymore. Once you get used to it its quite nice.
