1:25.05, (1:25.40), 1:24.74, 1:23.46, (1:22.87) = 1:24.42 ao5

Cube: modded Shengshou

Bear with the bad angle, vertical video and scrambling (I can't speed it up on Windows Live Movie Maker), I'll try and improve those next time. I just wanted to record some solves to see what they looked like and if there was anything I could improve. Tips are appreciated:)

It looks like F2L is the weakest part of your solves, mainly the look ahead. As soon as you know what moves to do to solve a pair, try to start looking around for the next pair to minimize the pauses. You can also look for the first pieces of S2L (if you have a fixed order) as you finish F2L. Your S2L is pretty good and your last layer is fine for now, but eventually you might want to increase TPS and learn some more algs if you feel like it. Lastly and most important of all, just do hundreds of solves, and you'll naturally improve in everything.
 
Gj! How long did it take you to mod your mega?

Thanks! It took me two days, but after that I had to wash all the pieces and let them dry overnight.

Thanks for the advice! I'll keep these in mind.
