Speedcubing in Melbourne

[RCTACameron]

At meetup:
-Zane did a 4:50 (I think) 4BLD success. And the execution was on video
-Me and Tim Major did a 31.xx team BLD.
-We had almost finished filming the intro when the cube (I think it was an A5) popped, so we had to start again
-Tim Major was selling awesome 5x5s.
-Josh bought one and took about 30s (I think) off his PB.

 

[Tim Major]

Josh, beat 3:48 2-5 relay
Cameron, looking forward to seeing our team BLD, both intros (the blooper one) and me and Zane's 2:05 "team BLD."

DYK
- Ando and Josh are learning Old Pochmann?
- Florian got 10.02?
- I had 31s BLD memo, but then forgot a few letter pairs so DNF'd?
- Ando likes dicks? (dyks)
- I got the last free cupcake, but as the polite person I am, I gave it to Ando? (aka Ando deserved it as she told me the code)
- Florian's initial reaction to the Shen Shou 5x5 was "****" but after doing a few solves of Josh's, instantly wanted to buy one?
- Josh spilt rice in his Shen Shou?
- Cameron wants to buy a Shen Shou? (hint hint, they're amazing)
- 50c cone videos are gay?
- "I think we could sub 35," Cameron, the minute before we got 31?
- I did a z' instead of z when passing the cube on one of me and Zane's team bld attempts?
- Ando likes pink?
- Andy's son likes stacking other people's cubes in precarious ways?
- Many annoying pops, after 35s team BLD memo, I popped on one of the first moves?
- Very smooth video intro, until Zane popped on a T-perm?
- Florian had a pop that went >4 metres to a non-cuber?
- Cubing is "hectic" according to an uneducated bunch of women?
- This meetup was awesome, very fun?
- Andy is turning into an OH pro?

Very awesome meetup, looking forward to the video Cameron.

Edit: Zane, next meetup want to try one move at a time? I don't mind which orientation, it would make more sense using mine as you're a fair bit faster, but I'm sure I could adapt my lettering scheme to yours.

DYK:
iwas the first our there and the last hour
during my firs hour i thought the ShengShou 5x5 wouldn't be so good, then i came back and did a new PB with it.
when Josh, the girl(i can't remember her name) and i left at around 6 Tim came and asked "Am i too late?"
i hate my 3x3
i need a ZhanChi
Zane is awsome
i did my first "with audience" BLD-succes
i need a Dayan Octahedron
i did my first 6x6 solve, it was 7:29.xy
Josh've put his SS 5x5 in a box and in his pocket, because it's too good for his bag

Yes we should try it, I'll use your orientation. And we need to practice y-perms.

 

[Tim Major]

Awesome, it's yellow-red. I'm pretty confident doing one move at a time yperm, tperm or M2 for edges? We'll have to go over setup moves and breaking into new cycles, but with some practise we should be right

I would prefer M2 than T-perm.

 

[Tim Major]

I would prefer M2 than T-perm.

Fine by me, we'll have to go over some setups and M slice algs.

 

[Tim Major]

Me and Andy will be meeting up this Saturday, (I'm buying ZhanChis from him, yes, I'll finally have them in, sorry for the delay, but thanks to Andy I can sell them cheaper than if I were to've gone with my normal supplier), anyone else want to come? I know we had one last Saturday, but some regulars weren't there.

 

[Florian]

Maybe i'll come to get a ZhanChi how much will they be?

 

[pappas]

Wont be there.

 

[Tim Major]

Maybe i'll come to get a ZhanChi how much will they be?

$15.50

 

[VCUBEFAN28]

$15.50

How much from the store?

 

[Tim Major]

How much from the store?

It'll be on my new site, so $15.50 + shipping (depends on what else you buy)

 

[VCUBEFAN28]

so roughly $20

 

[Zane_C]

I have a lot of school work + I need to get more sleep, sorry I'll miss this one.
