Personally I've been "cubing" since the fall of 2010, I went over with my family for a 1day-trip to Denmark. Went into a store and found some cubes for like 2$ each, which is a really good price considering a Rubiks brand cube is 10x more. Bough 2 of them since my old one broke earlier that summer. Started to watch youtube tutorials to get the basics. I had really no knowledge about speedcubing at the time, so I kept my method and just solved it over and over again. After a while some local guys had a course for beginners as well as people who could solve it. I went there and made a few friends and learned a lot.
