Not sure who if anyone has considered what the set of records should be in speedcubing. I absolutely agree that the event shouldnt matter so long as there is...
My times yesterday were about 10 seconds slower than my usual averages. By the evening i felt pretty ill and during the night I was very sick indeed. I often...

Hi, I don't read all the emails and so this is the first time I've heard the Calif. competition referred to as the US Championship. Does that mean it's...
I was wondering if anyone has video clips of David Allen and Gene Means cubing at the WC ? I'm a corners first person and would love to see those. Wayne G...
I watched a DVD with WC2k3 footage with Ron and Ton, and those corners first guys freaked me out. If I had that particular DVD, I'd capture and upload them. ...
Hi Tyson, If someone feels less pressure at a local and can actually solve closer to their ability, I say go for it. If pressure is the issue that is, more...

Welcome to the club! I'm the one on the unicycle forum who mentioned that to you, by the way. Most people here use the Fridrich method, with which they have ...
Ah, another Grant, you are destined for greatness with a name such as that. As for the benefits of each method, I may offer a tad bit of input: Petrus -...

Well I'm not really an authority on the Fridrich F2L, but it doesnt seem as overwhelming as that when you just learn to do it intuitively. What I do is mostly...
