Young Cubers Try Speedcubes from the Year They Were Born

[@Tingman]

Was waiting to see you give the GAN 14 to a 6 month old or smth 😂 awesome video idea!

[@edk1124]

He probably should've give the gan 14 pro to a 1 month old baby.

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

That's a big compliment coming from uncle Tingman himself 😍 and yeah I could have tried to find increasingly young kids but it becomes less interesting if the cubes aren't that old haha

[@JackCaiCubing]

lmao the cheggin's look of disgust while inspecting the cube 😂

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

"you want me to solve THIS?"

[@CarmenTeo]

The worn out stickers brings back so much nostalgia

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

My stickers were particularly bad lmao

[@CarmenTeo]

@@stollery_solves_cubes it’s okay, looks better than Alex Lau’s

[@dxsyncc]

Despite the cubes being so bad back in the day, many speedcubers like Feliks still got immpressive times which most cubers today struggle with while using better cubes. This just shows their insane skill levels.

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

Yeah like if you watch Feliks' first 3x3 average WR video the cube is clearly terrible ahaha

[@NobleCubes]

Great video! Love the editing style

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

Thanks Tom 🥺

[@speedcubingdotorg]

great video, goes back even further than I remember! I am very pleased we no longer use stickered cubes much.

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

Yeah I wasn't a fan of restickering (as you can probably tell 🫣)

[@LevelUpCewb]

nice video and nice editing :) Absolutely loved the idea. These younger cubers need to understand how hardware affected old cubers

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

They don't know the struggle 😭

[@mike-yd5fv]

Very creative idea keep it up, the community really needs people like you!

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

Aw thank you, I'll try my best!

[@QuentinD.08]

Nice concept ! I tried the exact opposite : did my last cubing competition 10 years ago and wanted to see how the hardware is today. The result : it's great but too fast for me and it was very difficult to get decent solves My level dropped a lot but somehow I still know all OLL and PLL years later

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

Yeah it would take a while to get used to it after 10 years, I remember not liking magnetic cubes when I first tried them

[@NishiYuuma]

Seeing that GuHong with absolutely chewed up stickers made me realise that as much as I like the stickerless cubes these days Restickering cubes was so fun, the satisfaction of restoring your cube to looking and feeling good as new is priceless EDIT: Also seeing Type F II brought back the memories, it was THE cube for sooo long

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

I don't miss restickering ahaha And yeah the F II was so good back then

[@Kewbix]

This was a really awesome video idea!!

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

Thanks!

[@EzramvanRijnberk]

"I'm about to 'type F'." Great response!

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

Hahaha yeah I loved this

[@hemmojito]

so glad the kid with the bad stickers got a redemption solve

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

Idk how I put up with those stickers for so long 😭

[@curiousNic]

Some hilarious reactions and the editing is 🔥 I'm so -old- seasoned that if I tried to do fingertricks on my first cube, which I got as a kid, I would injure myself.

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

Haha thanks, I think seasoned is definitely the right word!

[@antoineccantin]

Man, I remember the days all the fast cubers mained the Alpha-V, except for Rowe who used the "bubbly" FII

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

I didn't realise that was the case, I think I liked the feeling of the F II but ended up switching to an Alpha I just had a look at Feliks' original 9.21 WR from January 2010 but I couldn't tell what cube it was

[@antoineccantin]

@@stollery_solves_cubes he used av

[@roman.rudakov]

Trust me the colours were so hard to see on that cube I’m better than Miles

Haha this is great a video!!!! Fun idea. Random sidenote- We actually have a photo of charlie in 2009 holding a cube. It may have been from an earlier year though 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@WildWildWeasel]

Haha I'm pushing 30 myself and been into speedcubing for 2+ years, still havent broken out the minute mark but I'm getting there! Started with a cheap QY Warrior S, now my current gear is a Gan 12 Maglev, using abit of Stardust and some DNM-37.

[@cubinb]

Brilliant premise! Subscribed!

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

Thanks!

[@Mitsunee_]

finally, after over a year of searching I found someone else who used a Type F-II back in the day. Mine was black with tile stickers tho :3

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

I remember ruining mine when I super glued the caps on because they kept falling off 🥲

[@Mitsunee_]

@@stollery_solves_cubes I was considering that, in the end I stuffed pieces of tissue in there. Might've required a tool to get them back off, but so does that new version of the GAN 14 apparently lol :D

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

@@Mitsunee_ that's a much smarter idea

[@Slytherin37]

They are all really talented I can’t even solve a cube that fast and both of them(the ones from 2009)are the same age as me

[@Hasninerashid]

bro really said back in my day!😂 nice vid tho

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

I'm pretty much a boomer at cube comps 👴

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

I started in like 2009 with a rubiks branded cube and then in like 2013 got a cyclone boys 3x3 and I want to say a guanlong but I dont think those came out until 2015 crazy that its been that long. I remember sanding and lubing that old rubiks branded cube trying anything I could to make it better.

[@stollery_solves_cubes]

Did you also start off lubing with Vaseline?

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

@@stollery_solves_cubes of course, there is still some in it to this day.

My first cube was probably worse than a Rubik's brand tbh
