less than two years. Sub 6 single is a pretty big milestone.
I think I’m improving fast but Kennans was soooo much faster.

Hey Pineapple\_Jumpsuit, what’s your main cube?
Also just got the Aolong v2 in the mail. I like it! Picking cubing back up slowly, I can still get 25 second solves if I know the pll, but I’m still working on full.

I alternate between a qiyi thunderclap and a congs design meiying. I use the meiying in competition because it is slightly more stable.
Great to see you getting back into it.

Yay! this thread needs more cubers!
3x3 just does not work well for me.
So I do pyra,2x2, and skewb instead 🙂
@someone
you might be able to find a comp near you.
I am going to try to go to this one

Ugh,
I got a sub 10 again on skewb today, but I have finally hit that wall.
I should probably start look into sarahs advanced but I really do not want to learn them, so I am going to attempt to stay with sarahs intermediate until sub 5

i don’t think so. 47 seconds is a lot harder to make up than the final 10
