When will you stop cubing? (If you do)

[3LEVAS3]

Hey,

Just wondering, when would/will you ever stop cubing? If so, why? Is it simply because there is not enough time in your life or it's just boring?

I'm never gonna stop a day without cubing is the day that I die... Just kidding, about the dying part, but I don't see myself stopping, do you?

I kind of quit for three years, now I'm back. I guess I won't ever truly quit, because cubing has a special place with me.

Once my time on 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 all start to plateau and I've reached my goals, I'll give it up. I've had a lot of hobbies over the years but not stuck to anything for more than a couple months at most really. And I've already been cubing for about 3 months so far.

I will definitely stop solving daily at some point but I'd like to maintain it enough to at least stay sub-60.

90% sure I will abandon it to start playing a new PC game on a daily basis. Cubing is really just the most recent "game" I've gotten addicted to after StarCraft, Dota, CSGO, and Space Engineers. There's a good chance my amount of cubing will drop dramatically if I decide to pick up Guild Wars 2 on sale and play with my friend.

If I can't reach my goals in comp by Cubetcha 2015(if it happens) I am quitting that event. Sub 3 2x2, sub 12 3x3, sub 50 4x4, sub 2 5x5, etc.

I will never quit! It is a really good talent that looks impressive in public and is really enjoyable, I haven't got the guts to quit.

I told myself I'd quit at 20 when I first started. Then I said sub-15. Now I'm sub-15 and can't see myself stopping any time soon, but I definitely plan to reduce how much time I spend cubing.

I've already cut back (although I've been through a burst of activity for the last few weeks). But I can't ever see totally stopping - I'm quite sure I won't go a year without a BLD solve for the rest of my life. (If nothing else, I need to do the negative time solve contest!)

I think at this point I will probably not stop cubing. I may cube less one day, but I doubt I will stop altogether.

 

[Ninja Storm]

I usually stop cubing when I have to do homework or when I have to sleep.

 

[FJT97]

If i have an official sub 10 OH average.

So probably never.

 

[Johnny]

I'll stop cubing when my cubes become self-aware

 

[sneaklyfox]

If i have an official sub 10 OH average.

So probably never.

Oh yeah? Bet you won't be able to stop if you get an official sub-10 OH average. Always pushing for the next milestone. After sub-10 is sub-9...

 

[rowehessler]

I dont think anyone really stops cubing, but everyone certainly loses some interest after a while...I've stopped competing but I still cube once in a while if i have nothing better to do. It'll always be a part of us.

 

[Dene]

I only cube pretty much once a week these days, but it's still the centre of my life.

 

[Stefan]

I only cube pretty much once a week these days, but it's still the centre of my life.

Hahaha, I know that feeling...

 

[Zyrb]

I've been cubing for 4 years, off and on after really after the first year. I don't think I can ever truly quit it. It has been such a big part of me that if I put down the cube and saw one 10 years later I'd still think to myself that I'm a speed cuber because when I see the cube it means something special to me.

 

[Chree]

I have friends and faily that probably hope the answer is "Sooner than later".

I might take it down a knotch, but I don't think I'd ever quit.

I enjoy Memory Sports more then Rubik's Cubes so if I ever get bored of MBLD or BLD I'll move to memorizing cards and numbers. However I have some goals I want to get down first:

-MBLD 10/10
-BLD Sub 2
-BLD Memo Sub 1
-~Sub 15 avg 3x3x3
-4BLD and 5BLD

 

[ottozing]

Like Rowe said, I'll probably never 100% quit, but I certainly won't be going as hardcore as I am now when I'm in my late 20s or just whenever I lose that drive to practice. For now though, I've still got a fair few personal goals to go for in cubing.

I told myself I'd quit at 20 when I first started. Then I said sub-15. Now I'm sub-15 and can't see myself stopping any time soon, but I definitely plan to reduce how much time I spend cubing.

Basically this, but I'm not sub-15 yet...
