Hi, I'm gsingh. I'm a speedcuber from Northern California who learned how to solve a cube in 2019. I have been speedcubing since January 2021. My main events are 3x3 and 4x4, and I also do 5x5 sometimes. I'm currently also grinding 2x2, and it has become a main event now. (I used to also practice 6/7/OH, but I don't anymore). I average around 7.1 seconds on 3x3. My goal is to become world champion in 3x3 and 4x4.
My averages and methods for all of the WCA events that I...

The comp has 3x3, 4x4, mega, pyra, and skewb. Mostly been focusing on 4x4 and mega for this comp. Some of the fastest cubers in Arizona don't seem to be going, so I'm thinking maybe I can improve enough to be able to podium in those 2 events.
Been practicing mega a lot recently and have broken pbs quite often. Last month I got the gan mega v2 and I was averaging maybe 2:20 with a 1:48 pb single. Now I average 1:40 with a 1:17 pb single that I just got yesterday ..read more

So I've only been competing since April, and since then I've been to 3 comps. Maybe it's not fair for me to say this, but for me, it's largely a family setting. There are lots of families there seeing their children compete, and from what i have observed, the majority of the competitors are at most 13 years old. So as the title of this thread brings up what's to be thought about in regard to the type of language used in this environment.
Now not too long ago, I remember that a big thing in...
