Have there been any cubing goals etc that you have wanted to reach/achieve since who knows when? and still to this very day you have not yet achieved it and still think that you never ever will? sure there are some like this for me also but I eventually DO get them. But ONE obstacle/goal i have wanted the longest and still never have gotten yet to this very day and dont see me ever getting it. Is a Sub 13 3x3 average. I have come so heartbreaking close many times that its just not funny and nowadays I want it so bad that if i even get CLOSE i get nervous, my hands start trembling, and i mess it up :(

well anyway this is a thread to post your Long time goals you have still not achieved to this day. and if you eventually EVER do achieve it.. then repost on this topic saying you finally got it :)
although I don't think i'll ever be reposting for mine :( *sigh*
 
Well...I still haven't learned my OLLs. I think I'm going to during Christmas break when I won't have anything else to worry about. I think it's about time too, considering I'm getting near the 20s average.

College is about to get a little hectic with finals coming up so I'm not worried about learning anything new.
 
i dont know if learning algs counts THAT much... as they are all achievable by a little dedication to learning one a day.
i would say a sub 18 avg of 12. ive been around 19-22 for far too long, probably since september, or a little earlier. i know WHY i havent broken it, its just getting there... ive done averages of 100 (20.05 last time) that have contained best avgs of 18.15, 18.47, that sort of time, i just cant seem to continue a string of good solves!
my avgs of 5 are often very good, i.e sub 17, but the second i commit to continuing the average, i get nervous and bugger up. a bit like you derrick!
...except my times are slightly worse.
 
3x3x3: sub-10 single (non-lucky); another sub-14 average (have only done it once)

BLD: learn the Noun-Verb extension to my single syllable word list (I've been too lazy/busy/whatever recently). Achieve a sub-60 single for 3x3x3 BLD, sub-5 single for 4x4x4BLD, sub-12 single for 5x5x5 BLD.

FMC: Finally get a sub-30 move solve, and after this do it in competition.

One hour ago? Shouldn't you be at school??? Like meee :D

I'd have to say.......one of my goals would be to somehow get sub-2 in 5x5. Doesn't seem possible, especially without a V cube. Maybe get some more sub-20's in OH too.

we were in the computer lab and i didnt wanna do my work cause it was stupid as f*** :p
 
Get a decent 4^3 cube. Neither Rubiks nor Eastsheens do really satisfy me.
And about solving, I've gotten lots of sub-2:10 solves at megaminx but I'm still waiting for a sub-2:00 (but I really hope this will be achieved soon...)

I have the same goal. I love eastsheens but I kill them after about 2 months. come out with the V-4 already!

Sub-1 single for 4x4 has eluded me since July, although I almost had it 3 times in 2 days, which is a good sign.

Getting a second sub-10 clock average is also proving to be difficult. I think I need a new clock.

I also don't see me getting sub-30 OH avg. at any point.
 
Haven't:

solved a cube BLD without checking during middle of solve.
4x4 under 1 minute

i find these goals impossible:
constant average
sub-10 3x3
sub-20 3x3OH
sub-1 rubik's magic
sub-5 rubik's snake
sub-1 4x4
sub-3 5x5
sub-20 square-1
sub-5 2x2
sub-5 pyraminx
sub-2min megaminx
sub-1min 3x3 with feet
sub-20 siamese 3x3 cube.
sub-25 triamese 3x3 cube
learn blindfolded
 
sub 1 and sub 2 singles on 4x4 and 5x5 lucky or not. I got a 1:01 on 4x4, so close, and I can get under 2:20 on 5x5, not as close... but I will be very happy once I have achieved those.
