Thanks for all the records you broke and the way you’ve inspired so many cubers, including me! All the best with whatever’s next for you Kevin.

One of the first cubers I have ever watched on KZfaq 7 years ago, Thank you for being of my inspiration into the world of cubing

Words can not express how much you've motivated me over the years Kevin. You've demonstrated that you can stay ahead of (arguably) more "gifted" cubers just by being more diligent, no one will forget your 6x6 threepeat and you breaking two of the most iconic minute barriers on big cubes. Cheers and good luck for the future!

Congrats on the incredible career. Glad I could witness your greatness for the past ten years.

What a great run it's been, it's been amazing following you throughout the years, best of luck in everything life has to offer!! 😁

You are the reason why i (and probably most of us) started cubing. Thank You Kevin.

I feel old now that ive seen an era of cubers compete and retire. Good luck in your future endeavors! You will be remembered as a legend.

One of the best big cube solvers ever. We will really miss you, and thank you

I always thought of Kevin Hays as the "big cube guy". You're awesome. Thanks for all you've done for our community!

Bye Kevin Hays! You have contributed so much to the cubing community and we will all miss you. Good luck and we hope that you find your job at Google fulfilling.

We will miss you Kevin! and Thank You that you have motivated me to *NEVER Quit Cubing*

I was just getting into the speedcubing world and beginning to learn full CFOP around the time of your 6x6 1:40.86 record. I remember that was in a compilation of current records of that time. In fact, I went back to that compilation video many times for inspiration/motivation. Continued to follow you, Feliks, and that whole generation for the next 9 years, always taking inspiration and learning more along the way. This era of speedcubing got it's start in that world's comp in 2003 and had a number of years of just figuring out the format and what it was about. Then, your generation is where it really started to come together and get it's stride. You guys set a new standard for the current generation coming up and it's been crazy to watch it all unfold over the past 9 years. I hope you continue to keep a connection to cubing in some form or another, as a commentator maybe, or even do a comp or two occasionally just for fun. Otherwise, best of luck with the new job!

Your legacy as a big cube solver will never be forgotten, good luck in all your future endeavours:)

tuesday tips has been the best cubing tutorial series out there, it has taught me and many others so much, thank you Kevin!

0:50 judge saying to someone "shut the f*ck up" 😂 thats a proper one

Thank you for having your part in the revolution of cubing, We'll miss you

You are a true cubing legend, Kevin! You will be remembered.

Will really miss u in the community, u were an absolute legend and revolutionised big cubes forever. Thank you!

one of the first speedcubers I heard of, I'll vener forget you man, you are among the legends of speedcubing for sure!

Man, you revolutionised big cubes community, feels great that i had the chance see you win live and to even chat with you on 2015 worlds, you will forever be the big cubes legend!

I don't know why, but this hit me hard. I've been cubing since like 2011, when I was in high school. I never got particularly fast, but I followed the cubing community for much of the past decade, and I remember when you were the dominant big cube solver and you inspired me to focus on 5x5 - 7x7, and now it's all behind us. I'm growing up too fast and seeing you post this makes me super nostalgic and feel like much is left in the past. Anyways, congratulations on the accomplishments and thanks for all the memories following this community. Cheers and best of luck

Kevin, I just want to say how much of an inspiration you have been to me. Nobody will forget how much of a legend you were.

You will never be forgotten Kevin, best big cube solver ever. Good luck!

You're welcome!! Thanks for being such an amazing inspiration to so many cubers :))

It’s the end of an era. I loved watching the king of big cubes while I was growing up. Thanks Kevin! Best of luck to you in the future.

Holy shit, this is sad but at the same time really inspiring, dude i literally grew up watching you and feliks breaking all types of records and it sucks seeing the big names slowly getting out of the cubing scene but you guys are legends, hopefully everything goes absolutely amazing in this new step of your life. It was wonderful having you in the cubing scene dude, all the love and best wishes for everything thats coming into your life from now and on! :)

Heroes get remembered but legends never die. Thank you, Kevin, and best wishes to whatever you decide to do next!

I remember meeting you at nationals in 09. I knew that you had potential to be one of the best and that certainly turned out to me true. you've accomplished more than most speedcubers and you will definitely be remembered as one of the big cube legends alongside Frank Morris and Dan Cohen. Thank you

Thx for the years of inspiration!!! Good luck with everything you do next!!! Absolute cubing legend!! 🔥🔥❤

The number of times I've watched one of your tutorials or videos and walked away wanting to improve is insane. Thanks Kevin

A legend that will never be forgotten

I was lucky to have witnessed greatness in my short time as a cuber. You taught a good amount about cubing. Hope to see you around here in the Pacific Northwest.

Wow, this was a throwback. I met you at my first competition, it was Indiana 2015 where you set the 6x6 world record. I was just an annoying little kid with an annoying friend, and you were trying to practice but were still so nice. Thanks for being so welcoming even when I was so annoying.

Damn a cuber motivated for big cubes, your hardwork and patience paid off over the years!

I’ve been watching since before I even started cubing und you were one of my biggest inspirations for doing big cubes and will always be. Thank you so much for what you’ve done in the cubing community as well as inspiring other ppl to try cubing. Farewell you legend

You were the only person that got me in big cubes, hope you achieve the best in your future endeavours.

No one will forget the big cube legend! Good luck on your future endeavors!

Although I haven’t been following you through your whole journey, I’ve been there for the most part. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

I’ll never forget the day in the New Jersey liberty science center when I ran into as a kid. Sitting down and talking with you for a couple hours truly inspired me, and I wanna thank you for the time taken out of your day to make conversation with a 12 years old kid. Things like that make an impact on the world. Best of luck to you.

Even though his life as a professional cuber has ended but I'm sure he will still continue to cube as a hobby while he pursues his career or whatever else he got going on.

Congrats on an amazing career. It’s been fun to watch. Thanks for making me find out about cubing, and for the motivation. I likely would’ve never even started cubing if I hadn’t seen your name in the “notable LHS alums list” 8 years ago. Take care.

It's been a cool ride! But I hope you cube casually for the rest of time. :3 Time to brush up on that Melee tech

Was an honour to judge and scramble with you up here in Vancouver

You are amazing. Congrats fir all of those records.

You motivate me a lot to start with the big cubes, I am eternally grateful for your tips, videos, I wish you the best! Greetings from Bolivia!

Good luck with the future Kevin, be sure to keep cubing casually when you have the chance.
