Crazy pop thread

[TheMachanga]

I was yawing while doing 6x6 and the piece popped and landed on my tongue.

my cube exploded on my very first solve in the iowa competition, so I took a DNF...still managed to get third, though

You've been down there? Good job

Metaphor (or whatever you call it in English ) and I KNOW YOU KNOW ALREADY .

That is actually a simile.

Once I would have broken my BLD record (pretty sure, atleast) if it hadn't popped. F II's weak spot.

Btw how can cola be depressing/funny/crazy? And since when did pop cans have cores? And why was it on your diy? Sorry, someone was going to say it eventually.

Spoiler

Pop? Cola? Dang y'all are weird! (In Atlanta we call all fizzy beverages Coke.)


During US Nationals 2008 I popped OH, had to jump off the stage to grab it and re assemble it (OH obviously).

In michigan we call them pop, although I think I might start calling them fizzy beverages!!!

On topic: since I've had my A-V, I've had absolutely no pops!!!

You want the list ?

My FII pops a lot, a tension adjustment may fix it, but I like it for one handed.
I find the worst pops are the ones after a few moves into the solve.

Not me (like everything else I've shown you ), but...

I notice no one has posted this:

Epic.

One of my most memorable pops (or actually, it was Matt Walter scrambling my cube): On the CN Tower with Matt and his sister:

It was very windy, and the piece was blown almost to the other side of the tower... So I took off to get it.. I was afraid it might get blown off the tower.

bump

just got a weird pop, 2 edges popped, but nothing else, FU and FR was the edges that popped (during a R turn), the rest of the cube was intact... anyone got anything like that too?

*bumped since i didnt want to make a new thread, soz if it annoys you

When my cubes pop the pieces always seem to hit me in the face

I don't know it is a pop really but I got mad at having a lockup in the last moves on a nice solve this morning. So I bloody well forced it to turn even if I knew it would not work. After a pretty bad sound it all fell out and only the cross was still there

I stopped the timer at 23.xx and that includes the time I was having the lockup and the time I spent breaking the cube apart, a possible sub 20 else, that is pretty rare for me.

When I throw stuff it always seems to hit you in the face.

My worst would probably be when I was turning my eastsheen 2x2 in my pocket, tried to cut a corner, and it literally just shattered. I still haven't been able to fix it.

 

[sneaklyfox]

I know this thread is old, but what I want to post doesn't really go into another thread... unless it counts as an accomplishment lol. It was definitely my new personal best for pops and explosions. I've never had that many pieces fly out on me before. Just finishing up the solve on PLL and explosion happened... only 4 pieces were left... the other 16 were all over everywhere else. Cube is 55mm Zhanchi with torpedoes.

My ADD daughter has made me angry where the cube will explose on me because I'm moving it so fast and forcefully. I wind up looking like a movie bad guy.

Dad is trying to relax. Hey hey hey daddy daddy daddy daddy! Daddy loses it - cube explosion.
