Just Go | Pro Cubers Talk About Their First Competition

- I created this video for those who haven't competed before. When I went to my first competition I walked in shaking, stood in the back of the room all day and didn't talk to anyone until someone finally talked to me at the end of the day. There's nothing to be scared of at competitions and I hope this sheds some light on that.
Thanks to Schwan Park for this video idea!

This is amazing. Great work Chris!
This commuity is underrated.
Let’s keep it that way. I don’t want the record to be harder to beat.
Cubing as a whole is underrated
Just wondering, do you need a speed solving mat for comps?
Serinded no you don’t

Competitions literally did change my life. Before I was extremely depressed and lonely, but after my first comp I was thrilled, happy, and more alive than ever.
👏👏👍
Leo Borromeo - Speedcuber hi
hello leo lol
Met one of my best friends at my first comp. Next year I convinced another one of my best friends to go as well. This year I'm getting another one of my friends to go. Comps are such a great time
Ping Pong Cup Shots I wish I could do that. But none of my friends are cubers :(
I’m getting my friend into cubing
I love how the only clip of me in this video is me on my phone snapping people. Story of my life
Thanks to this reply I finally made the connection that Natalie Smith from CF and Sassy Ginger from TH-cam are the same person. 😂
Yep. Lol
So good
oh hi ! i like your video man, but post more, PLEASE!!!
Andrew come back! 😖😖😖😖

My sub 10's are as rare as Rowe Hessler smiles
Mine is rarer than bill wang’s smiles.
I have never gotten a sub 10 solve
(It’s not going to happen for a LONG time)
Same for my sub 30s

Beautiful video, amazing job Chris 😍
Aryan Chhabra time to register for a comp now 😂😂😂
are you coming to SNU?
Conundrum Cubing no I was just kidding but I will soon (probably next year)
yes its actually very nice
My second solve at my first competition was judged by Eva Kato!
Hey some people will judge sometimes but it really didn’t matter it’s your time and if you like your time that is the only thing that matters
TheReal Mucus uh the judge is the person next to you when you solve. He wasn't literally judged
Why do i see you everywhere
Lmao
nice! my 1st solve of 3x3 was judged by Sebastien Weyer
Wow. Amazing job, really captures the culture of cubing competitions and I am sure it will inspire cubers in the future to give it a go. Well done.
Cubers are probably the nicest people I have ever met because it’s almost like they understand you and why you are there. And the best part is you can have your cubes all over the table, and nobody would steal it. That is trust😄
This video is damn Amazing Chris truly amazing
Legend say if Chris gets the world record... He will give a thunderclap to every single of his subs
yuvraj singh legend says you’re not a cricketer
But I already have a thunderclap
He had a 2x2 wr
can't wait, then!
WE CUBERS ARE ALWAYS FRIENDLY!!
:)
And yet you call him a "friend"
Exept when they borrow your cubes during class😅.
U are from India aren't you?
Wow that's one of the best cubing videos of all time....... @chris you are taking cubing to another level
Excellent video as always - thanks for letting me be a part of it. So fun reminiscing on old times and my first comp.
BEST VID yet, Chris
you really improved a lot, I gotta say
this one is honestly, excitingly good
you da best
Thank you! :)
Thankyou for this, im going to my first comp tommorow
Its been 2 years lmfao already
@@AD-sw8ku how was it lmao
How was the comp
@@sharletta01 it was fun I got to the second round which I was happy for
@@sebbspirit5299 it was fun chief
This really inspired me, I loved this. After going to my first competition just last week, I think Im really going to start practicing and getting better.
Lol my first comp was Manchester open 2018. I was so excited and it was an amazing time. Love the vid!
Speedy Reviews so was mine!! 😱
At my first comp I sat in the back and didn't talk to anyone and just went around asking people to solve like my 6x6 and 3x3(at the time I used beginners on 2x2!)etc. Now i'm a lot more social and I am SO glad I overcame my shyness to hangout with the cubing community!!!!! Excellent video Chris!
7:18, it reminded me of a time when I met Drew at Worlds, and I asked him if he can sign my shirt, when he was done singing it, I asked him if the cube he was holding was a Boron Treated GTS2M, and he said “Yes. Do you want to try it?” And I wasn’t expecting him to ask him that question, so I said “Sure!” I tried it and I told him I was very impressed with the cube. I believe it was the 3rd or 4th day. And I have to say, Drew made my day
Piece of art Chris !
Most people are like, oh cubers are so unsociable because they are just looking down at a cube, but we are one of the most sociable communities ever!!!
Very true
Always amazed at the cinematography, Chris. Cubers like you are such an inspiration and the main reason that I keep at this hobby. I love this community so much
Everyone knows Damian is a pro

Hi quality content like usual Chris. This one is almost as good as The Life of Rowe Hessler. ; )
Fortunately this year at school I met a guy who averages sub 20 on a 3x3 and a few other cubers who are really great to talk to. I never thought of being nervous for a comp, even though I've never been to one. Great video Sir!
i just came from my 1st competition and it was so fun. definitely going to next competition.
I love this style of video. This one is by far my favorite of yours. I think everyone that has been to a comp can relate to this video and it's great motivation for those who haven't.
I honestly don't know how your videos keep getting better and better Chris! You are the man when it comes to cubing videos - keep it up!
Who is here after will won 2x2 at nats 2019
I loved this video. i think its impossible even for non cubers not to smile when watchong.
One of the judges for one of my 3x3 solves at my first competition was Patrick Ponce.
Thank you ♥️
You've convinced me to go to my first comp
Well I guess it would suffice to say you’ve done it again, Chris! This video really made me smile and appreciate the community for all of its openness. I’m going to be watching this on repeat for a while now.
Cyotheking ur the best , ur videos are the best. Very inspirational and motivating.
Having the first comp in my country ever, finally I can go to one very excited
6:57 i love those old style mats and timers
I'm constantly amazed at the quality of your videos. Great job!
how does this not have more views. honestly, this video is so freaking amazing
Great video Chris!!!! Anyone should go to a competition. Everyone's welcome!!!
You just make me smile. Good job cyotheking!
thank you so much for making this video. I am going to my first comp March 3rd and I am supper excited to meet new cubers.
Thanks for making this video! We don't have a lot of comps in the Netherlands and everytime there is one, I don't really wanna go because I'm pretty bad at everything. But this let me know everybody has expirienced something like this. So again, thanks.
This video made me think of my first time! It wasn't that long ago, really, but I had no idea what to expect. Going in, I thought that the main purpose of the comp would be to just do well, and nobody really talked to anyone else. I was so nervous my first time. I have (mild) anxiety, and I was sweating so badly. I remember the first event was skewb, and I was fidgeting and tapping my foot constantly before my solve. Brandon Satterstrom was my judge first solve, and I didn't keep my hands on the timer long enough to start it. Thankfully, he was so nice, and because it was my first comp, he let me have another one. He judged another 2 of my skewb solves, and I ended up with a 15 second average. I started being more confident, and enjoying myself more. During my 3x3 round, Chris, you were one of my judges, and before my solve, I asked how to pronounce the name of your channel. I was so excited to meet you, and I couldn't believe that at my very first competition, I could meet someone "famous". For those first competing, just have fun. Don't be shy. There are people there who are just as cool as you are. If you're into math, there will be other people who like math. If you're into chess, or art, or yoyos, or My Little Pony, there will be someone else there who enjoy that same thing. I guarantee that if you put yourself out there, and try to meet new people, it won't be something you regret.
Things that stop me from going to competitions:
- Covid 19
- My location
- My Skill level
- My self-esteem

Thank you so much! I'm going to comp on March 31st (Charleston Spring) and this inspired me and I was a little nervous about the comp coming closer. This video definitely made me feel better!
Ive really watched all of your cinematic, vlogs and educational videos now and I'm just always waiting for your new content. So inspirational! You've got a new sub :)
amazing job chris!!!! loved it!!
This is the first ever video I watched completely. This helped me a lot. Nice vid.
I'm going to my first comp in the 21st of April and this helped me calm down a bit and not worry about how fast i am. Thank you for posting this! wish me luck at my first comp.
I must say my first thought of my first comp. Dallas 2005. Was that the reporter covering it was stunned that we were all friends not competing against each other but trying to help each other. I averaged around low 20s my first solve on stage i was so nervous i got a 1:28 when i walked off stage another cuber told me to settle down. I finished with a mid 20 ave
I needed to see this. Thank you!
Very proud to be part of this family😊😊😊
This is such a great video! I love this perspective on the beginning of cubing! Keep up the GREAT videos.
Woah
Keaton talks to the camera like he belongs there.
thanks Chris I did know what to do.On 6-30-18 is my first comp in Fort Worth.I feel better now going to my first
I stared cubing during the first confinement so I haven't been able to go to a competition
So anyway I started blasting.
Going to my first competition in a month! So excited.
I didn’t know about competing for several years after learning 3x3. 10 years later I finally attended a competition. Great video!
This is honestly one of the best cubing videos i've ever seen.
I'd really love to go to a competition but i live too far away from everything (6 hrs to nearest competition).
Wow Good job Chris I appreciate this!
This was a great video! I just registered for my first comp. and I'm very excited!
Lol I was going to sleep because tomorrow is my first competition and you uploaded this!
Promybro Cuber-Srbija good luck!
Promybro Cuber-Srbija Good luck!
Promybro Cuber-Srbija Good luck dude!
Thanks to all of you, I just woke up right now. It's time to gooooooo
Good fricking luck my dude
I've never been in a single competition but this just made me want to, but my country doesn't have that much comps, I'm on the WCA website like everyday waiting for some kind of competition just pop up so I can sign up and go and compete, to meet people, etc. Going to competition for the first time is something I've been dreaming of, I mean what's the point of just buying a bunch of different speed-cubes or puzzle just leave it at home without doing anything, no setting up, everyday starring on the computer, looking for method, tricks, tips, vlog,etc but they weren't meant for, so that's why going to competition is something that could show you, to let you know what Cubing of being cubers really means.
This is awesome!!! Great job!! Keep up the great work man!
That was an awesome video! I am really excited to go to my first competition ever, Icelandic Nationals 2018!
This video is amazing. It’s heart warming, amazing job.
I am watching this 8 days before my first comp I’m so excited
Every cuber needs to see this video!
I always have so many excuses NOT to go. None of them are good excuses.
I’m going to the next one after covid
Amazing job Chris! As always!! I agree with most of this things, it made me remember of my first comp...
Amazing video Chris! So cool to see how it turned out!
I'm going to my first competition in a month and the only thing I know how to solve is 2x2 and I was really nervous that everyone would judge me but after seeing this video I realized that I was wrong. Thank you!
The Drew Brads clip about throst is so great cuz it shows how great high profile people are, how they really dont have egos
Kevins such a great guy
"HEY GEYS SEE THEIS AWESOME J PERM, YEAHHHHH"
Loved it. Awesome work chris
Amazing Chris.... just outstanding! :-)
This is an amazing video Chris! This should inspire a lot of newer cubers!
this is so professional. it is the best thing I've watched in a month, and this is when infinity war came out...
Heres my first comp story.
My first comp was fun I was with my friend who wasn't competing my first event was 2x2
at this time I was pretty bad at and very nervous. In 2x2 i averaged around 15s and got a 20s solve but that doesn't matter comps are amazing mine was pretty nerve racking on 2x2 I got the same judge a few times in a row most of those times were Extra Scrambles (ES for short) because the person forgot to reset the timer the same thing happened on 3x3 getting an Extra Scramble isn't nice but on 3x3 i did pretty good I mained a gts 2m and got a 25s solve and a 34s solve with 27 - 28s solve between but i didn't care i ended up getting off the stage after my ao5 and laughing it off with my friend we then walked around the room and watched people building a tower we talked and tried out cubes, both of us got to meet feliks and he's nice. While waiting I was sitting with my mum and friend talking to other cubers sitting around us
heck someone looked like the cubing version of rambe
but in the end if you're nervous go
the people are great
its a great opportunity to try new cubes and meet people
comps are great
I recently went to my first comp and didn’t make the second round so I went home early and upset but two people talked to me, both of them I met in line at the area where they were selling cubes and I raced one of them he was about 10 seconds faster than me also later we were in the same 3x3 group and he let me try his Valk which felt pretty heavy and slow for me, the other one was way faster than me and taught me double flicks which I now use and he also told me I had better f2l and I let him try my Gans Air which I was gonna replace with another cube anyways. Both these people talking to me help me calm myself and get over nerves.
Thank you for making this. Now I think I feel confident to go to a competiotion
IKR
I wish I could go to competitions and I really want to....but I can't. There are very little competitions in Malaysia and they are all really far away. I missed the only one I could've gone to because I was going to Japan. I wish there were more competitions in my country because I really want to go to one I have not gone to one yet.
Im new to speed cubing and to all the fast speed cubers can you pls give me advise
Gorgeous video Chris!
This video really conviced me. I will go to the first comp in my city after lockdown ends.
i like this video. Its not just a random video. it has a reason. not alot of people realize how hard it may be for some newcomers to take the step.
I recently got into cubing about half a month ago, and I've never solved a cube before. I know some algorithms and the easy notations. Christmas is in like 27 days and I'm begging for a cube. I have a friend who cubes and I'm planning to go to a competition with him.
I’m still salty I didn’t compete till like 4 years after I started :(
PsychoticCuber I didn’t compete until 10 years after I started.
I competed only about 5 months after I started
Just went to my first comp and I made pyraminx finals and 3x3 round 2 and also bought some new cubes I was So shaky on my first 2 events and I didn’t think I would go to another but I been looking on the wca website waiting for there to be another comp near Massachusetts
Yaasss Kennan! You're still alive!
I’m hyped for the Fort Wayne Indiana comp in August 2019 it will be my first!
This vid made me smile! Thanks Chris
My first comp back in 2017 was amazing and I loved it
I was very shy at my comp because I thought that people would judge me because I don’t know good methods and use beginners but it was really fun and I almost made it to the next round and managed to beat colorful pockets on pyraminx!
