Wow so, so much discussion in thread over the last week or so. A full review of what I wanted to say had to be made which is a testament to the achievements and diversity of events us older cubers have. Apologies but I have not been very active this week, a half term leave with a visit to family, some family outings and other matters have interfered with cubing!
...
@Logiqx - The progress you have made since you have been practicing 3x3 again is awesome. Those fullstep 10.x, the sub 15 ao12 on film. I'll quote a a conversation with Feliks referring to us old two farts
.. "...I think if we combined both of your best attributes, you'd be sub 12 easily...". Personally I think you have the best chance of topping the over 40's overall. I am in awe of your smooth turning and finger control. Your TPS has improved in your latest videos too. I completely approve of the cubing music but I have one huge criticism which needs working on. Buddy, your wine rack is empty!!
Love the idea of the oldies PB sheet. Like
@Mike Hughey , there are some that I do not remember but anything that motivates us is an awesome plus for me and if there was a facility to enter an approximation and note it so maybe would suffice? Also the ability a link to a video if it was caught on film would be great.
@MarcelP - Could KH in blind be anything else at all buddy?!
How is the roux going matey?
@SpartanSailor - F2L is a very strange beast that does come more proficient in time. There can be some points/tips that can make immediate impact though. Slow exploratory solves can helps a lot, Bias in solving to back slots is a great habit to adopt, Always look at intuitive algs that feel bad and try to optimise, question every rotation you make and if you make 2 in a pair, it isn't needed! Best of luck at the comp, I am sure you will do great at BLD
@Jason Green - Awesome BLD single mate. I still do not comprehend how someone can reliably get a 6.xy single in comp, a time I cannot envisage I can attain any time soon at home. Did the boys attend with you?
@phreaker - I really like the X* letter pair words being expletives, I might adopt this to a certain extent as my dead animals are hard to distinguish!
@pglewis - Thank you. Selkie Jnr (aka Guy
) is making great progress and has a 47.xy PB single now. I am going to get worried soon
@openseas - Great 4BLD single time but the mean is such an achievement.
@One Wheel - A 2 year old PB beaten is great
@mark49152 - Get well soon buddy
@newtonbase - Wow mate, sub 20, congratulations! As Ron has said in the past the key is in no practice!
@Shaky Hands - Really looking forward to catching up soon and doing some megaminx with you my friend. I am struggling to average sub 2:20 currently after getting to sub 2:05 globally 18 months ago. All the best of luck tomorrow (actually today) in comp dude.
@Mike Hughey - Was really interested to hear about the history of old style MBLD. I can see why the 10min per cube became unmanageable and the rules had to change but I can also see how an accuracy bias gives the discipline a different twist altogether.
My apologies for the number of tags fellow oldies
