Thanks! You'll get there soon. Step 1 just takes time to get used to, and takes practice. You'll start finding different ways to make the first block, which is what will really drop your times.

Must... resist...

I think ZZ would be more useful to me, and just as fun, just don't like that EO line

Well ok. I'll probably rejoin sub-30 race with ZZ too in a few weeks, assuming everything goes well with Roux. I haven't practiced any ZZ at all. Only watched a couple of tutorials and studied a scrambled cube, trying to detect edge orientation. That's about it.

 

[SAICubed]

Round 140 ZZ Average= 27.933
24.328, 30.048, 30.344, (23.191), 29.129, 26.537, 26.680, (35.680), 29.455, 26.715, 27.064, 29.633

Not consistent what so ever and horrible compared to my last average. I think i graduated but this wasn't the average i wanted.

You ought to write what colors you use. Look what I did.

Ok, I did them again: clickertheclick

So many nearly sub-30, but only W & Y sub-30 solves. But you are on the right track.

I'm signed up for the Seattle WCA contest on January 12. Forty-one people are signed up so far:
http://www.cubingusa.com/cubekingdom2013/competitors.php

Also, I'm donating $100 to the contest to be used as prizes. At least one other contestant said they'd do the same. So if you want to pick up some prize money, and Seattle is near by, you might consider showing up.

I've been practicing almost exclusively with the 5x5x5 and 7x7x7 for this event but I've also entered the 3x3x3 contest so I guess I'd better give that some time. But the only events where I have a chance of setting a world record for my age is in the 5x5x5 and 7x7x7. For the 3x3x3, I'd like to be sub 30 by the July meet in Las Vegas. (Got to learn some finger tricks to get there.)

Round 140, Speed
Average: 32.00



32.90, 25.06, 28.23, 31.02, DNF, 29.21, 26.03, 37.83, 27.05, 38.00, 27.15, 42.54


Got the DNF because I did a G perm when it was actually A perm, it gave me a U perm which looked like the cube was solved.


Dropped about 10 seconds from last round, just like every week... didn't think I would be so close to sub-30 so fast.
