Oops I forgot to mention that I use the Mehta method.
If you're thinking that the 27 is a +2, no it's not. The first time I hit the spacebar, the timer didn't stop. Second time, I hit it after I did that U move and it stopped.
Also, the 24 could have been a 19 or 18 if not for that crappy A perm execution lol.

So, I was not able to practice or learn as much as I wanted to by this point because of school and work, but here's a decent Tripod average with algs I learned specifically for Tripod. I actually had forgotten some of the algs I had learned since I hadn't done anything with Tripod until yesterday when I recorded, in around 2 weeks. Hopefully I can learn a bit more and get a better average in before the week is up.
The times are in the description of the vid

Unfortunately my GoPro died *shortly* before the average started, so this doesn't count.
I will try to equal it and get it on cam in the next few days.

lol I forgot about this until now.

Honestly I have nothing but sympathy for Silky. $160 is way too much to pay just for some people to get some times on unusual methods that we all knew were possible. Like I don't think anyone was ever in doubt that sub 12 Mehta and sub 11 ZBroux were possible. Next time it needs to be like 160$ for the first person to get a sub 8 avg12 with Mehta, and an unlimited deadline.

I, for one don't care about the prize that I won in the slightest, and would happily welcome Silky back to the community even if he decides to cancel the prizes (I see that he hasn't posted in a long while).
