ok gang North Island Championships 2025:
3x3:
Don't care about the first two rounds, but finals was Head to Head and I managed to get PR single with a 7 move LL on the first solve (CFOP though)
Also me and my opponent (who's also my friend) were going to fight with baguettes when we went up but he changed his mind
2x2:
Do I care
My friend Levi who has a 1.70 average and 0.63 double DNFed out of 1.44 (he globals like 1.35 or something idk)
He's also forcing me to learn EG-1 before Hasty Hastings (Sept 27) (Pi and H finished)
Big Cubes:
Happy with everything apart from 5x5 and 6x6 (vro look at the last solve)
OH:
Second comp with Roux, PR is really bad but I don't care
Clock:
Sub 6 average with Flip! Finally! Sub 5 and Flip NR next...
Also finals scrams were so good.....
Everything else:
Mega: I love mega and I destroyed my PRs. North Island Bronze!
Pyra: ...
Skewb: idc lol
Squan: bruh
ok bye guys
