- Today's video is a very special competition vlog from almost 7 months ago! I was going through my old footage and happened to find this vlog from my first proper official competition in New Zealand, which was Palmerston North 2023!
Even though this competition happened quite a while ago, it is still fresh in my memories and will always remain a very special one to me! It was a great introduction to New Zealand cubing for me, and everyone I met that day was incredible. Extremely grateful to Xe and his parents for having me that weekend in Palmy too, that was so great of them!
Watch this video to find out why breaking the sub-10 barrier meant so much to me, and whether I continued my winning streak of 2x2 final rounds! :)

Yo bro any tips on getting sub 4 on 2x2 i use ortega btw
Hey! If sub-4 on 2x2 is your ultimate goal, I would suggest continuing practicing with it, drilling your Ortega algorithms (to increase your tps) and trying to predict OLL in inspection with your face (to reduce pauses). However, if you plan on progressing further with 2x2 and want to get even faster, maybe you should carry on with new algorithm sets like CLL.
Bro thx so much
How is it so warm in winter? I'm so jealous
This was actually autumn, back in April. Southern hemisphere is flipped. When it was June it was quite cold (8-10 degrees sometimes).
How come this is your first comp in NZ? I thought you've been ther for a while now and competed a lot
This vlog is 7 months late 💀 (read description + my recent community post).
Me as a South Indian watching this video😂🗿
Dosa 💪💪

Lets goooooo! Will u meet Kunal and Aryan when u visit Delhi
!! I do plan on meeting Kunal for sure but I don't know about Aryan haha 😅
also who is xe
@@RamThakkar ik Aryan is really busy also do u know who I am?
@@virajdhamejacuber Xe is one of my best friends from university, that’s his alias. I’m aware Aryan is extremely busy. I actually don’t know exactly who you are (I don’t think we’ve met at a comp?), but I know you’re one of India’s up and coming speed cubers who has a lot of potential! Keep up the good work, and the results will follow :)
We actually met at noida cube open and I was in your vlog as well! It feels good that one of the worlds best 2by2ers has heard of me!
first
ok..
Wow bro :0
nice average
Thank you so much Noah!
I am south Indian but I live in Britain and I don't like curry
Haha that’s fair enough 😅
@RamThakkar BTW love your content
First sub 10 is an incredible feeling - especially clutching it on the last solve. Congrats🤍
Thank you so much Kunal, that means so much! I will never forget how you were one of the people that rooted for my sub-10 the most and I appreciate that so much! More to come soon hopefully :)
