Wait... why do y'all need Weilong GTS2M s and Aolongs if y'all are not even sub-20?
The AoLong cut 20s off of my times and let me learn to fingertrick smoother. I wanted a new cube, and I got one. I upgraded from a Rubik's brand, and I don't buy cubes often, so I wanted to make sure my first speedcube was one I'd use for a long time. Really the kind of cube you have doesn't matter at all, as long as it's the one you want. When I get faster and a little richer I might move to a Gans or something...

So you're saying if I'm not exceeding speed on the road I can have fast car?

I'd consider myself as a intermidiet solver and got in my collection all sorts of top class cubes and all pro lubes just because it's my hobby and I really enjoing solving on good quality puzzles even as you say 'slowly'. There is no need for this sort of comments. It's free world so stop hating, and let's get over this OT.

I got my first sub-35 avg since I've started practicing again yesterday, so I've decided I should start this race to keep me motivated.
I guess there is no one above 35 anymore, but I did it anyway :D
And it was not as good as yesterday :D

Round : 15
Cube : Weilong GTS2
What your Racing too : Sub-35
Method : CFOP with 2-look OLL
Ao12 : 37.19 :/
Time list : (from 1 to 12)
33.17, 37.71, 42.56, 43.34, 36.93, 38.97, 32.24, 37.04, 34.43, 39.20, 28.00, 39.63

Hope there will be more people to compete against soon.
