Are you coming? Dixon could wind up being quite the BLD shootout - not at all what I expected. I'd better go practice!

Nice job, by the way!

I live in CT, but by a stroke of fortune I happen to be going to a Summer program in Iowa that starts the next day. So I'll just drop by on the way from Chicago to Iowa.

I've been doing nothing by BLD recently, so this should be quite fun.

Can't wait to meet you btw.

First 5BLD success

This took about 12 goes. I did 6 on film that day, hence the crap reaction. I was shattered.

Nice one! Another UK bld solver
Get to a comp sometime?

Thanks I learnt from your videos!
I'd love to, but I'm working full-time at the moment and travel is a bit of an issue for me (in the Midlands :/) but anywhere near London would be fine, I'll be at uni there in September

3x3 sleep and school delayed BLD success - 14:31:xx.xx

Memo:
Edges: JAW GUV LP CK FMT
Corners: CLIX TJ D

 

[Ickathu]

Used a BH corner comm, and got it right in a BLD solve. I dnf'd though, I had some edges wrong.

Doesn't count if you recall your memo even once during school =P

I didn't, I actually forgot that I was doing an attempt until I got home and solved it

 

[Noahaha]

Not bad at all for being late at night when I should really be studying calculus >_>

 

[uvafan]

First blindfolded success ever! Solved the cube in about 22 minutes. I think that the memo was about 14 minutes and the execution was about 8 minutes.

 

[Mikel]

I broke my PB for 3x3 BLD on camera a couple of days ago! I am so ecstatic that I have broken the sub-4 minute barrier. A year ago I went to the Iowa Open and witnessed Chris Olson get an official 3:44 BLD solve and it blew my mind. I never thought one day I would be able to do that!

 

[ben1996123]

Just saw the post above mine and decided to do a random 3bld attempt. 2:54.90 success
Audio/word memo for edges, 10 second audio loop for corners.

 

[emolover]

First ever sub 4!

3:24.58[2:21.43] on the third scramble to 19 weekly and my previous PB was 4:06.

Edge memo was so fast(sub 1) but was not coherent so I had to do visual corners while looping the edge memo in my head. If the edge memo had been memorable this would have been sub 3 maybe even sub 2:30.

EDIT: Also just got my first multi! 2/2 17:22.92[13:03.96]. Time to do 3/3!!!
