[@Tingman]

Awesome video! Sounds like your cubing journey is just beginning.

[@AndrewPokornik]

Hello Tingman! I'm a big fan

[@NobleCubes]

Welcome to the community! I have now been to around 50 competitions. Once you start you want to go to them all!

[@ZachBakerey]

Noble!

[@neongemstone]

[@TeboeCubes]

Incredible video! I’ve been cubing for over a decade, and have been to over a dozen competitions, and this just gave me the feeling of starting all over again PS: 24K views this quickly on a channel as new as yours, in a topic as niche as cubing, is absolutely incredible, congrats!

[@neongemstone]

yooo Teboe!!

New speedcuber unlocked: Nerd Garrett

[@Wizradshorts]

This guy is absolutely underrated, this video should have more views, love from the cubing community ❤

[@nascardrawings7700]

This is a really awesome video about a first time competitor’s experience. It’s so interesting to see a new cuber that isn’t a little kid, I was 13 when I started and 15 when I went to my first competition and was still a little kid back then. I’m almost 23 now, have been cubing for 9 and a half years, kinda hit a brick wall as far as improvement goes, but it never gets old for me. I hope you enjoyed your first competition and I hope you decide to keep improving, and even branch out into the different WCA events such as big cubes, megaminx, and more. I’m also looking forward to seeing your speedcubing journey continue on KZbin!

[@marieadinolfi1597]

That last place speedcuber is actually my mom! She loves your video and is more than happy to occupy that last place spot for you 😉 It was her first competition as well!

[@nicholascrow8133]

Remember, no speedcuber cares about how fast you are except for how fast you are compared to your past times!

[@Mr.Pain404]

True

[@anseldejong]

Good stuff! I'm the guy that won the race against Nathan lol

[@Cubebread69Xd]

The fact that I know half the cubers I see in this comment section is insane. I've always said that the cubing communiy is extremely passionsate, wholesome and great at welcoming people.Even I felt great watching this video

[@cubest817]

Nice vid, and welcome to cubing community! 🎉

[@thenamestripp]

“i’m gonna get toasted” sounds like you already are my guy 🙃👀

[@whenthecathitsthefan4371]

Amazing video. If you keep this up you’ll have 10k subscribers in no time.

[@luzherrera4463]

This is the equivalent to getting baptized in the speedcubing world, we're so happy you joined the cult- I mean, the community

[@justinu1182]

Great video man! Though it’s a bit weird that you could feel Erno Rubik looking down on you considering he’s not dead 😂

[@VicJang]

Exactly 😂

[@boethejoe]

The quality of this video is awesome

[@Penguina37A123]

Dude, as a person that has just gotten an average solve time of sub 1 minute, i can understand what you went though. Good luck on your cubing journey, as i am myself. Also, you are really under-raided, wish you well! P.S: I haven't even been to a competition yet so you've done more lol

[@isank27]

I appreciate it bro, keep going 💪

[@CatBattler223]

The best part of competitions has to be the amount of friends that you can make, I’ve been to 7 competitions so far and I’ve made like 30 good friends and also getting to know one of the best 2x2 solvers in the world Emanuel Schelin

[@DcubesOfficial]

This was incredible!! I love the way you made a simple competition so cinematic and fun!

[@SierraRairse]

omg this was so well made!! You should fs keep cubing

[@HariTheCuber]

If you get more than 5k views you have to do another competition video

[@isank27]

we’ll see about that 👀

[@plina330]

realy good video it felt like i was watching a 1m subs channel but it was 600 your very underated man

[@EOcubing]

This is actually an amazing video

[@LevelUpCewb]

Amazing video! Glad to see it looks like you've enjoyed your cubing competition. Best of luck on your cubing journey. Cheers to hopefully more cubing pb's/pr's!

[@coolbran827]

underatted! You look like a 1M KZbinr!

[@bgoglin]

Good job, we all started there and then got addicted. Looks like Stanley Chapel was there too, he's a world class solvers too in blind events. (removed comment about using your palms at the end of the solves in the video).

[@mydogispaws]

you are allowed to stop the timer with your palms, but you have to start it with your fingers

[@bgoglin]

Ok, I read the regulations, indeed they don't say fingers but just hands (palms down) for stopping, good to know.

[@Rufus-f3m]

As someone who averages about 11 on the 3x3, your improvement was mental - I took about a week to learn it and after 7 days I wasn’t even under 1:30 😭 Also I wish I had been to competitions earlier (so far I’ve been to 10 and my first one was after half a year of cubing)

[@kristinwiley3109]

I hope you go to another one. After my first I got hooked. Now I'm registered for my 65th and 66th competitions. I didn't learn until college and didn't compete until 10 years after I learned because I had no clue competitions existed.

[@Madbirdreal]

I can’t believe how underrated you are, the editing is top notch! I hope you enjoy beginning your cubing journey!

[@dynamortishamdanehren362]

7:09 casually DNFs the solve by moving the cube before signing, and no one even notices.. Great video tho!

[@armaanR]

i was about to comment the same thing.

[@Cube_kid11]

The regulations state that he can’t touch the cube until after the judge has inspected the cube, not signed the scorecard.

[@VicJang]

Just saying hi since the algorithm put this on my front page. The editing and cinema pages put are amazing. Judging from the finished video quality, I would’ve guess you have 400k subscribers instead of 400. Keep up the great work, and enjoy cubing!

[@hesacuber]

those who are cooked start cookin 🔥

[@TheSiberian2458]

Your channel y underrated bro.

[@SeanrY10]

another underrated youtuber

[@pandahhh9115]

Why did i think you had at least 10k before and while watching this, how do you not even have 300, the best cubing video o have seen in a while. New sub, hopefully this goes viral. Awsome video 😎

[@connorcubed]

awesome video! you should keep practicing for your next competition!

[@Megaminxcuber]

Those who are cooked indeed start cooking 🔥🫡 Outstanding video, was awesome seeing it from this perspective!

[@Cubing.With.Arsen.]

Don’t worry man at your first competition you were against Nerd Garett. I was against fast park his pr is 3.13

[@dromcom3711]

Good choice on the music to go over the solves

[@sterben4958]

cool video man. Its odd to come across a random video on youtube and find my own face in it LOL

Wait at 7:09 after solving he move the cube which is against the wca regulations😅

[@ignDart]

Also illegal sliding. Banned

[@bobo-qh1wp]

This guy is great

[@rodrigoqteixeira]

4:25 just a little terminology correction. The stop watch is the thing the judge has on his hands. What you use to time is called the "timer". Trust me, I have been to 8 comps before

[@nicholascrow8133]

And they aren't all identical solves, just computer generated. But all different

[@AndrewPokornik]

@@nicholascrow8133each stage shared the same scrambles to make it even no? thats why you can’t talk about the scramble in the waiting room

[@nicholascrow8133]

@@AndrewPokornik Apparently yes, each group will get the same scrambles, I'm guessing they get them in a random order. Tbf, I've only entered a couple of comps, never helped out behind the scenes

[@AndrewPokornik]

@@nicholascrow8133 I’m pretty sure each stage gets the exact same conditions and the order isn’t changed, this makes it so that it is a fair competition. Otherwise someone could get lucky while someone else could get unlucky.

[@rodrigoqteixeira]

@@AndrewPokornik everyone in the same group gets the same 5 solves in the same order. Different groups do get different scrambles tho. Once I was scrambling for 2x2 and the whole solution was a single sune. Because of different scrambles, I didn't compete with that scramble, but everyone on that group did, exactly on the 5th solve of the fastest group.

[@andrewwatkins4852]

I saw Luke Garrett at my first competition sowega solvers 2023 and most likely I meet him at sowega spring 2025

[@The_fox_furry_lover]

7:10 just a friendly tip: PLEASE don’t touch the cube until you have signed the card… touching the cube is an automatic +2 second penalty. Not everyone follows this rube but if you make it a habit you will always grt +2’s at nationals and continental championsips.. wang yiheng got his 3.27 Wr2 DNF’d cuz he picked up the cube he just solved and started turning it… you really need to watch out fox that

[@Nevseros]

It's not true though, it's prohibited to touch the cube before the judge inspects it, not before you sign.

[@AndrewPokornik]

ya I was doing that in round one because I kept zoning out after the solves. I stoped doing it later in the day though.

[@CubemenQ]

So good

[@cubingtutorialsmedsophia]

Love the video and the quality! Remember me when you're famous 😉
