My favorite event at home is 6x6 (~4:45 :P), but at comp I looooove 3x3, because now I can actually get further than round one.

4x4 and 5x5 are cool, because 4x4 I can make cutoff and 5x5 is relaxing, but 6x6 tops them because it's really big, but not big enough so that I take forever, like on the 7x7 (~8:30 XD)
 
5x5x5 BLD now, certainly. With the addition of knowing how to reorient the cube (thanks to a trick that's been discussed recently in some other threads), it's even more fun than it was before!

Thats pretty aweseome! what do you avg for 5x5 BLD?

Probably about 17 minutes (at home).

No Mike... that was a CHALLENGE. 5x5 BLD avg 5 go go go :D

Okay - sorry to take so long to get to it, but things were busy around here.

5x5x5 BLD Avg 3/5:
(13:38.12) [7:24], 17:01.71 [8:49], 18:03.20 [9:54], 17:47.11 [9:17], (DNS) = 17:37.34

So there you go, I average 17:37.34. :)

I did these back-to-back - right after finishing each one I started scrambling the next one. So sorry for the DNS at the end, but it was almost 4:00 AM and I was tired. For what it's worth, I did go ahead and do the fifth one this morning IMMEDIATELY after waking up, and it was unfortunately a DNF [20:23.57, 11:24] - I was off by 3 wings, 3 + centers, and 3 central edges, all due to memory issues. I have trouble with big cubes BLD right after waking up - I usually need 10 to 15 minutes to get going first or I'm really bad at it.

I was so happy after the sub-WR first solve that I didn't really want to continue, but I had promised myself I would do it, so I followed through. Also, I realized it was probably a good time for it. I always do well in streaks, and I had done a successful 6x6x6 BLD earlier the same day, so I knew it was a good day for me. I kind of wish I had done a 5x5x5 multi instead. :)
 
Nice Mike! You're dedication and ability to do massive cubes and long attempts is really inspiring! Congrats also on your 13 minute solve! Is that a pb or close? Have you tried going break neck fast on a solve yet? I think you could sub-13 quite easily if you just tried to go super fast ;)

I couldn't remember whether it's a personal best or not - I need to go check my records to see, but if not, it's close. I also agree I need to try to go faster; I could write a lot about it, but I've already outrageously hijacked this thread and I think I should stop. I'll write more about it in the weekly competition thread - the first three of these solves were for the weekly competition (2009-49).
 
What is your favorite event?

Just wanted to know what everyone's favorite event was and why. Are you better at your favorit event than your other events.? Do you Practice it the most?
 
My favorite event changes all the time. Right now it's 5x5 and 6x6, even though I suck at them.

To answer your other questions: No, I'm not better at my favorite event than other events. (currently) Yes, I practice my favorite events the most. I always spend the most time practicing my current favorite event.
