-Age 15
-Background of cubing, how long you have been cubing, personal records, personal goals, etc. I've been cubing for, um..., I think 2 1/2 years now. I'm averaging about 15 seconds. I really practiced 3x3 exclusively until about april, so my other events are pretty bad. I'm practicing BLD, but still constantly DNF'ing with M2 (I can do Old Pochmann edges pretty well, but I wanna be better). I average about 2 minutes with 4x4, about 7 seconds with 2x2, and about 55 seconds OH. Currently my goals are -
Achieving sub 14 averages in 3x3.
Getting a sub 10 3x3 single (currently 10.6)
-Occupation I'm a 9th grader.
-Other Cool Information About You
I did the Pecos trip, and it sucked.. I still have a "letter to speedsolving.com" I wrote during my 24 hour solo, but I don't know if I'm going to post it. I like soccer, I dislike running, and I'm not particularly good at either. I played competitive chess for a while, did devil sticks for a while, can hula hoop better then any man should be able to, and I am alright at kicking myself in the head, although Joshua is better. Currently, I am in a heated competition with Justin (Ashmanfa), another Texas cuber, and we are surprisingly evenly matched, but we haven't raced in a while, and I bet one on us has pulled ahead of the other (IDK which). Lastly, some of my favorite cubing moments are:
Meeting Shelley Chang at my house,
Doing team BLD,
Completing BLD solves in competitions,
Head kicking competitions with Joshua and Trevor (or was it Brian),
Going out to a café with a bunch of cubers after my first competition,
and so many more.

-Age 12
-Background of cubing I got a Rubik's Cube in 3rd or 2nd grade when i saw the movie the prisuit of happiness, it was scrambled so i decided to take it apart but i took a corner out instead of an edge (IDK how i did that.) So then a year ago I finally tried putting it back together and i decided I'd learn how to solve it. So I started cubing around October 2009. PB is 21.79 Average is around 28-30 Seconds. I Average around 2:30 Min on 4x4
Goals:
Learning Ortega Method for 2x2

-age 13
-background of cubing I've been cubing for almost a year now, and pretty much only practice 3x3. I average 19-20 seconds on 3x3, 6-7 seconds on 2x2, 1:30-ish on Sq.1, 1:30-ish for OH, 2:30-ish for 4x4.
-Occupation Soon to be 8th grader (September)
-Other cool information about you I used to do penspinning, until I realized that I sucked, and couldn't buy any pens like HGG in north america. I love the hardware aspect of cubes, and hope to be recognized like 4chan or Daniel0731ex. I also watch Katekyo Hitman Reborn, and love smartphones. I can't stand phones running such simple OS's like symbian. I also want to work at the cubeworks studio, but I have such a slim chance, lol.
Favourite cubing moments:
First Comp. I met daniel there
Meeting sarah and eric at cubeworks
ordering my first DIY (Which turned out to be a crap-ass c4y lol)
Making it to second round of comps. Because I suck. A lot.

Age: 35

Background of cubing, how long you have been cubing, personal records, personal goals, etc.
I started cubing because I remember my dad doing RKs back in the early 80's. I finally decided to learn to solve one and consulted the Youtubes.

I solved the cube for the first time 8/16/2010 and was hooked.

Personal best: 1:06.07

Personal goals: keep having fun and never enter a cubing competition

Occupation: Computer programmer

Other Cool Information About You: I have a ton of different hobbies and am pretty passionate about most of them. My friends either ask where I find all the free time or complain that they hate me for being good at so many things. My reply is usually that I don't sit in front of the TV, and I try everything I can with the mindset that I will be good at it. Power of positive thinking.

So there it is: me in a post.
