Kevin Hays retired; best project/solve/accomplishment of his?

[Garf]

As you probably know, Kevin Hays has officially claimed 4 weeks from today that he has retired. His contract had ended for TC and Yuxin Toys on Jan. 1, and he decided that it was time to step away from professional speedsolving and focus on life more.

His last video.
What do you think his biggest accomplishment/project/solve/etc. is?
I'll go first:
His biggest project has to be Tuesday Tips for big cubes. I never really watched it when it was running, but he has so many good tips that it is hard not to go back and see what he has to say after all this time. I am currently going through and watching for 6 and 7, as I want to get really good at the events. Maybe even Kevin Hays level.

6 years ago he decided to step away from cubing to focus on life more, then eventually came back. I forgot how long he stopped for though

Let me guess, his contract from TC and Yuxin had ended, and that's when he decided he retired.

I remember seeing Kevin's 1:49 6x6 solve in 2012. That was the first time I was impressed by him. The cube was a V-cube and I watched the video in 144p on my 1inch screen of nokia mobile phone.

[Garf]

[Garf]

He solves a 7x7 and becomes the North American Champion because Max Park isn't there to take back his throne in big cubes.
But that's not the point. 6 months ago he announced his retirement. Now... he is back.

becomes the North American Champion because Max Park isn't there

At least one good news.

When I was way younger, Hays big Pop at 6x6 WR Pace was so emotional for me.

They aren’t back. If you watch the interview they said they basically just went for fun and happened to win. They still aren’t really cubing seriously.

Maybe he got covid?
@OreKehStrah dang, didn't know about that.
False alarm, everyone.
