[NAR] Noah Arthurs 4:24.25 4BLD

[Noahaha]

My second solve was about 10 seconds too slow, so I'm very happy this happened. The
solve was a little bit on the safe side, but certainly not a safety solve.

This was at Cambridge Open 2013.

I'll upload my 3BLD soon.

Memo looks somewhat safe, but that helps execution anyway.

Yeah. Don't be going around Britain saying nice pants (especially to a girl, you might get slapped)

Congratulations Noah! That was a great solve, and very fun to watch! Nicely done on the NAR too!

Congrats on the NAR, Noah. It was indeed fun to watch.

Thanks Chris! I may have mentioned this before, but your 4:46 WR was one of the videos that most inspired me to do BLD early on. It almost feels weird having beaten it, and with your method no less.
