Michael Wimberly, CrossPetrus, Sub20Soon, and Cuber239 race to sub-15 ao5 on 3x3! WINNER HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED!

[Cuber239]

Lets go!!!!! Sub 20 ao100 finally, I semi-locked in for 100 solves (got to keep some time in the bank for the end of this race) and got a bunch of new pbs.

 

[Cuber239]

Michael Fence what are your new PB's with the new cube?

 

[CrossPetrus]

I got a pb2 ao5, but sold the next solve because of nerves and nb perm (I’ve gotten like 12 today)

[Cuber239]

Hey guys, no new PBs just wanted to share that I've had 2 or 3 counting sub 15's now, so I think I'm getting close if I was to just like grind a couple hundred solves one day I might get it.

 

[Cuber239]

Finally broke my month old ao5 pb. Had a counting 13!! The twelve was fullstep

Spoiler: PB
