C.cousin Johan Holmedahl knew how to solve thecube and could solve it in I've always been verycompetitive and it was just natural for me to want tobecome better at it than he was. So one afternoonmy mom had bought me a cube and I started playingwith it. Eventually I threw it in the wall and said Iwould never touch it again because I wasn't able tosolve it. But later that same night I picked up thecube again and searched for tuturials on youtubeand was able to learn from there, and since then ithas just kept going from there pretty much.CD: Who inspired you to get into cubing?SW: Johan Holmedahl, my second cousin, asmentioned in the previous question.CD : If you have to mentions all your favoritescubers, who gonna be The First on your list?SW: I guess there are some different categories inthis question..
