lol davey cow is best cow
Dave Wing is from Oregon! He rules! Moo.
I'm from Oregon and new to the forums. I live in Lebanon just east of albany. I'm going to school at Oregon State (Though I'm a Duck fan from birth.)
Welcome ensigndan! How long you been cubing? I live in Corvallis and work at OSU (and a cube club should be starting this fall term)
I've been solving for fun for 7 years or so, just using store bought rubies brand cubes. I gave my last one away after getting bored with it. about a month ago started watching some videos on youtube and bought a bunch of puzzles. Just another hobby to add the the list. haha. I guess i should clarify. I have one term left at LBCC then I'll be at OSU, I look forward to the club starting.
Neat! LBCC is a good school (I taught there for a few terms a few years ago - was impressed with them) What's yur fav puzzle and what do you ave with it?
I average 70 seconds on the 3x3, my pb is 45, but it was a lucky solve. I'm learning f2l and then will move on to OLL and PLL. I just got a megaminx and it looks fun, but have not had a chance to do anything with it while my wrist heals. I want to get better at 3x3 before i worry about becoming faster at other puzzles. I'm not fast by any means at the moment.
I just broke down and got a better 4x4 as well as a 5x5 for the heck of it (wasn't much of a break down). I got a better 2x2 since my son just took mine and won't give it back, i don't mind though, maybe he will want to learn to solve as he gets older. I'm not sure ill ever get sub20. Seems like an impossible task.
I'd like to revive this post! Looks like no one has posted in over a year, and that saddens me. Are there any other oregon speedcubers out there? Especially with the upcoming competition in a few days, it'd be nice to know who is going. Personally, I'm in Eugene, OR, so I have to travel to Portland for the comp, but it'd be great to meet some people who live around here who like speed cubing.
For some reason, I've noticed that there aren't many in Oregon on these forums. Kind of a bummer -- probably has something to do with how new competitions are to this area and not so many people knowing about the forums.
@DeeDubb and Aaron LoPrete will be coming back to UO/Eugene for the school year, which might help bring us some competitions to that area. We'll have to wait and see!
Breaking news! I organized a competition in Eugene! https://www.cubingusa.com/eugene2016/index.php
