Three months since I posted a video and I have only ever posted 3x3 as well so a set of three videos.

Any critique will be warmly welcomed.

Dude, my times are nearly exactly the same as urs for all 3 events! Should be interesting at rapidash

Ditto. Send me a text Chris otherwise I'll fall behind for sure.

Nice to see your progress You're getting good at 4x4 also. I'm gonna have to start practising more

 

[Schmidt]

You might want to change the intro in the 4x4x4 video [3x3x3 avg of 5 = 18.xx]

You are an inspiration to sup40 solvers (i.e. born before 1972) when I see your video I can't believe I'm not as fast as you. No offence, but you (too) have many pauses in your solves. I guess my pauses are just longer.

 

[Selkie]

Thanks for the feedback all. Its really humbling to be called an inspiration, to be honest Ron Van Bruchem and Ton Dennendroek are my inspiration for more mature cubers and if I get anywhere close it will be great.

Its funny I saw so many issues just watching the vids myself. I didn't realise I had so many pauses, so many rotations, and some bad F2L cases. Good stuff to work on.

Your solving times are all very similar to mine, and I've probably been cubing a lot longer than you. Your turning style is interesting, as your solves look slower than they actually are - to me your solves look more like 22s avg. than 18s avg. It's great to see "old" cubers around here and at competitions. ^_^
