fgfuyfyuiuy0 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Speed Stacking for those who don't know I saw a video on YouTube today of a kid 'Speed Stacking'. Speed Stacking video I got interested as it's probably the only thing I could do xD. Anyone else Speed stack or have wanted to try it? I just ordered the kit, but I have been using paper cups in my house. I just started today, but I can do the cycle in 16 seconds. EDIT: Stop posting that it seems like a waste of time, etc. Every other post on here says that. If you aren't going to contribute to the Topic at all then don't post. I <3 Gears of War 2.

Star_Fox Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 LOL. i used to play those with my baby cousin. i believe there are three ways you can stack them. which goes from 3x2x1 to 4x3x2x1 and you can even make separate stacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouchy Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I remember looking at this about a year ago. Seems a bit dumb if you ask me, but different people like different things. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgfuyfyuiuy0 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 I thought it looked dumb, but I decided to try it. It's addicting because you want to beat your old time. My sisters were telling me how dumb it looked, but tried it and we were trying to see how fast we could go. Have an open mind and try it guys. I <3 Gears of War 2.

If it tried it, I would be the only person in my city doing it. I have never heard of it being done here or those cups being sold here either. Guess it is not my countries things.

I never heard of it until I saw the featured video, I don't know anyone else who does it, and I ordered the cups on Ebay. :? So, I don't see what is holding you back. I just used paper cups.

Jimmyw3000 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Ahhh I remember this. People would pay £20+ for a set of "special" cups taht were just non-stick/static cups. I tried it, and it got boring after a few goes tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sohkmj1 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 We have something like this here, it's called Crazy Cups or something, although we do have speed stacks here as well. Was pretty good, had a 3-6-3 6-6 10 stack finished in about 16 seconds. That was 2 years ago :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren211 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Why do so many people think speed stacking is dumb? I have utmost respect for any young person (and most of these stackers are under 15) who can stack ad unstack cups in a few seconds. It takes a lot of coordination. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.

It takes a lot of coordination. yes but what good does it do? soccer and most sports train your muscles even chess trains your brains (you learn to think in other ways) so what does this do? speed stacking is the mindless stacking of cups, go do a contest on how many times you can touch your 'brows and afterwards touch your toes.. that's is even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed stacking however, trains your reflexes and your hand-eye coordination, i know, it has happened to me.] If you think this is "easy" then go buy a set (if you can even be bothered -.-) and try it out. I dare you to do it within 15 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushrock Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Calling an activity "nerdy" is completely irrelevant. I used to play this in school. It was pretty fun. I think I was once pretty good, but man, it's amazing how good some people are at this activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebdragon Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 What a monumental waste of time. I suppose that's the genre nerds are used to I suppose, so whatev I guess.

fgfuyfyuiuy0 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Lol. I love the open minded people of TIF. Every is being a Negative Nancy today, aren't they? It's a fun game that requires hand-eye coordination, ambidexterity, and motivation. It's just a fun little thing to try and beat your old score. Everyone is being so literal and crap. It's not like it's a life skill or an Olympic Sport. It's like any other game that's addicting, skill testing, etc. Don't be so harsh.

reaper88888 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Everyone who made a post saying that it is a pointless waste of time: Guess what those posts were? And most of them took longer than 15 seconds to write, just like most posts that are pointless wastes of time... So you waste more time making pointless posts than you would stacking cups. But whatever floats your boat... I guess it could be interesting, but honestly, I don't even have the cash to buy a set of paper cups (or the spare time, but that has to do with school and work..)... It might make for a neat trick at parties.. So even if you mess up, most of the people will be too drunk to care. : There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves.
