[Mollerz]

I have a 6x6 BLD timed at 1:12:54. I did it for the holiday competition in 2011-2012.

 

[qqwref]

How about this "juniortwo" guy on youtube?
- 6bld in unknown: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWZOcb7c6xU
- 7bld in ~54 mins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn2GhU8AUlk

That's Nevins Chan Pak Hoong, already on the list.

 

[JianhanC]

Yes, but the video was listed as n/a before, just want to show the existence of one.

 

[Mollerz]

Yes, but the video was listed as n/a before, just want to show the existence of one.

Oh I thought the video was already there, my bad!

 

[JianhanC]

Oh I thought the video was already there, my bad!

No problem! And I think Nevins might have a 7bld success too, since he did a 2-7 bld relay once. I'll double check with him.

nope, no 7bld

 

[AlexByard]

I believe Dan Sarnelli has an 8BLD? Sorry if I butchered the spelling of his name.

must do 7BLD...must do 7BLD...

You can borrow one at a comp and try? I have a spare white V7 you can borrow at Cambridge and give back to me next time we meet, a black SS8 if you want to try 8BLD, and a black SS7 you can borrow for the weekend.

Once exams finish (my last one is tomorrow) I'll be trying to get my name on these lists.

I can't wait for Roman Strakhov to finally do the 9BLD, he's damn close.

I am also very excited for this! Is Mike attempting this also? I remember a debate about this a while ago (knockoffs and such) and I don't know the current status of this as I've been out of the loop for a while. Hopefully I'm not sparking up a flame war in this thread, I'm just curious.

This thread makes me want to try 6BLD.

I bought it quite some time ago (with 4x4 and 5x5) especially for BLD solving but have never used it.
Just tried some center comms on it and I learned this will be a huge endeavour.

I think it will take a while before I get used to all these different types of centers. Just trying to spot where they need to go makes my brain hurt.

Challenge accepted

Why don't they make 6,7,8,9 BLD official events?

For the same reason they don't make 8x8 and 9x9 official events. Takes too long and doesn't add anything new.

Look at the list! There are around 20 people in the world, who solved a 6x6x6 blindfolded. It doesn't make sence to add a new event, if there are this less competitors.
Other reasons: the solves take much longer than any other events and the success rates are terrible.
