I added a video of my latest average for this race:

1) Get new cube, that thing looks hadr to turn
2) Stop wristing. Do fingertricks.

Those are the biggies. Other than that, turn faster and stop the death grip.

Are you CN also Mike? I did not know that! edit: oh wait, green cross? no.. er...can't really tell, not that it matters.
edit2: wait, weird color scheme, i forgot you did that, woopsie

You seem to have somewhat decent lookahead, but you turn awful slow because of it, try getting some fingertricks incorporated. I recommend definately a new cube, thing sounds rough

edit, ninja'd hard <_<

Ah great Mike, I look forward to viewing it when I get home (Unfortunately our work network does not allow the viewing of Youtube). Always looking to learn from other cubers, especially those of a more mature age

Congratulations on the moderator status as well, well deserved IMHO.

Pretty normal. I haven't really had time for any of the advice from my video to sink in yet, but I really appreciate it - thank you to everyone who offered advice! The death grip in particular is going to be a hard habit to break. I've been aware of it for quite a while (but I guess I didn't realize just how bad it was until I saw the video), and it just seems like the natural way to hold the cube to me. Maybe I need to find someone to actually show me how I should hold the cube, and maybe slap me when I hold it wrong or something. As for the wristing, I'm really so much better than I was before, but I see I still have a very long way to go. I'm trying now to go through my OLLs and at least remove the wristing from all of those. It's really hard in some cases, but I'm making more progress. As for the cube itself, I suspect it's not as hard to turn as you guys think it is from watching the video - it's probably more my style that makes it look that way. (It is a modded AV.) I have an A2 that is set really loose (so it pops really easily), and I'm not any faster with it. But I should really get a GuHong or two and see how it does. As for turning faster, well, yeah - I wish I could figure out how to do that. It seems like PLL practice has helped some with it, though.
