For some odd reason, it is more satisfying to watch than records of much faster speedcubers. In their videos, it's often about beating everyone else's times. Here it's just a patient path to beat your own time.
hi, idk if you remember but I’m that judge who did all your 4x4 blindfolded solves from don’t dnf Dublin. Congrats on the pr you should be very proud! Edit: why does this have so many likes 😭
This is such a great solve, even if you didn’t turn super fast, your turning accuracy was spot on and every move was perfect! I hope in the future you get a sub 20!
Agreed. Even just official stats and records on wca could be cool. Comps are definitely dominated by young kids so stuff like awards might be impractical to add, but more stats hopefully. I suppose they’d have to get ages from competitors and would be hard to retroactively update the record books, but worth considering imo. I’ll be a ‘master’ soon enough lol.
it's not official (though the age data is officially sourced), but there's a page that ranks competitors in age brackets. if you look up "wca senior rankings," you should be able to find it.
@@sq-one Oh nice, this is fun to look at. Will be interested to see how that develops in the future. Already pretty great times regardless of age, but anyone who’s 40 now was already a young adult really when WCA was starting in 2003. And the competitions were really scarce for a long time and exponentially took off in the last decade as well as cubing hardware and knowledge. Like most of the records are even faster than what I can do, but how much slower will 10 years make me. Surely some big names like Feliks will still be capable of sub-8.32 when he’s 40. Maybe I can snag some records if I age well which I think I can. Making a comeback lately getting my first 3x3 single pr in over 6 years.
So glad I came across your channel. I‘m 23 and started cubing 2 years ago. I can now solve the 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, Pyraminx and the mirror cube. Tomorrow my first Megaminx will arrive. I‘m still using the beginners methods for every cube and am now trying to learn f2l and get faster. I personally experience the cubing community as very welcoming and appreciative. I got looked at funny multiple times by people who don’t cube for starting cubing at 21: „Why playing with a kids toy at that age?“. Now here you are proving that you can always learn new things and find passion in a new hobby no matter the age. I hope you‘ll reach all your goals in cubing and just keep on enjoying it. :)
I started at 32, like 9 or 10 months ago. Never is late to enjoy a new hobby. Enjoy the beginning of the F2L method and don't worry if the times are the same or worse. Just don't rush, practice and enjoy. I'm sub 1min average with F2L intuitive and beginner at the third layer and never expected to do that. And that comes just solving with calm just for fun or fidgeting and seen some recurrent options with a big gap of time without timing myself.
Excellent solve for people in your age. turning is slow and you got such a nice time which means that you used very advanced methods and techniques. keep it up 👏 👏
Congrats! I like your turning style and your ducky buddy. Btw, I'll show this video to my dad who's the same age as you, but he uses it as an excuse not to start learning how to solve the Rubik's cube. Now he'll be forced to face the harsh reality: it's not about the age, it's about the mentality 😎
Good example, that older Generation can still follow and be Part of Current Generations. Just question of Interest. And very chill solve. Can be very helpful for improving Look ahead, even if (me too) someone get feeling of "wasting Time" during solve, but Long term it will makes you faster
@@OldManLink Im sure you will. Probably even faster. Which helped me too, was watching some smart F2L cases, that saved me time. Well on some days we might think, we stuck.. But our Brain just needs time. Like for language learning. My native language is german, and i actually learned english Private (Movies, in game, conmunity etc). Teacher was not helpful. I make same Progress in Italian right now. Learning it since 8 months, but just few Weeks ago my Brain stopped to translate, and i finally thought in italian. Which was weird, before 1 Day before, i didnt had that feeling. It just came through night.
Felicidades amigo, habemos muchos speedcubers mayores de 50 que quisiéramos tener esos tiempos y esa suavidad en la resolución del cubo, excelente. Nuevamente muchos éxitos!
@@OnZLodzi. I started cubing 44 years ago, but that was back in the days before internet and I had to figure out my own way to solve the cube. Then when I started competing in 2021 I learned CFOP in about 6 months, all 78 algs. Now I just need to get better at F2L as you can see from this video, and I should be able to get sub-20.
Random tips for improvments: - Ideally, you want to plan your first F2L pair with the cross or have an idea where the two pieces are for your first F2L pair. - While solving a pair, you want to be looking for the next one. There should not be any pause. Practice this slowly and without pause! - You can recognise OLL and PLL without rotating the cube (seeing 3 faces is enough). - You should perform OLL and PLL much much faster. See Felix Zemdegs videos on OLL and PLL - Most cubers usually use the same hand to perform algorithms faster. For example, if you are right handed, you will use your left hand to hold the cube (sometimes use your index and a few other fingers from time to time) but that is your right hand that will do most of the work. - This is also why ideally you want your first solved F2L pair on the left side of the cube (ideally on the back). - There are many other tips but I will stop there :)
Yo creo que estuvo muy bien en aprender a su edad cosas nuevas en la vida. Yo a los 44 aprendí también a resolver cubos y ahora tengo una colección que compre para aprender mucho más.
Lovely solve!
i swear tingman be everywhere😂
I agree!

Gimme tips on being faster. Do you mind shouting out me on ur next vid?

That’s exactly it. I’m never giving up chasing sub-20, and if I don’t make it then I’ll just die trying 😂
@@OldManLinkyou are gonna make it for sure😊
I love the timer stop 😂 awesome job!
Thanks! That’s one thing I can do fast anyway 🤣
CONGRATS 🎉🎉! also those black pieces look amazing!
Thanks I think so too. All my cubes are like that now. 😎

Hello there Leon, I am not made of lemons, but oranges please me
It’s one more step on the road to sub-20 (which I aim to reach before I die) 😂
143 likes isn't a lot
@@Jafimanku i think it is, and i liked it too because its wholesome

@Whatdoyouthink276 it’s one of my life goals 😅
Congrats! Very smooth and accurate turning
There needs to be age brackets in the WCA, stuff like this should not go unnoticed. I'm sub-11 and this solve blows me away. Great stuff!

Check out wca-seniors.org/Senior_Rankings.html#333-single-60 and you’ll see that this solve puts me at #13 in the world for my age group.

Really smooth
Thanks! 😅
Congratulations on 1000 subscribers and a new PR single! Awesome!!
Love the head nod at the end
To me it felt like I had a much bigger reaction 🤣

Glad to see you back 😊
Congrats! That's really good
Thank you! Cheers!
Great solve well done!
Thank you, it felt great too!
perfect time bro, hugs from Brazil🤝✌
your cube's color scheme is so cool, as was the solve!
Snyggt jobbat

Glad you think so! 💖
Lovely duck and solve❤
Nice solve!
Thank you!
Crazy that this has almost 200k views! Nice job!

Dang congrats!🎉 my pr is like a minute which isn’t too good but still is good.Great solve! Hope you get faster and faster!
Thanks, you too!
Really nice and efficient solve!!! You told me that everyone can cube! 🎉

lets go man!
ive been at around 45sec for a year now im hoping i can bring it closer to 30
lotsa respect
Just keep practicing and you’ll get there!

Not too bad for an old dude anyway 😉
