Thanks :D

I have to be conscious of the fact that the Midwest United States is one of the most passive aggressive places in the world. A post like that here would be a "beating around the bush" way of saying that they don't believe you.
I'll edit my post haha.

No need to edit, we're all good :)

Great Mark. We have the same Ao100 PB now. I have heard before from the taking brakes as a good improve method. I am just too addicted to skip a day of cubing.. LOL

Well yeah, I have that problem too :D. Usually breaks are enforced, like family vacations or business trips, during which I get withdrawal symptoms like Kennan. Not sure whether improvement is down to the break itself or the frantic binge of solving once I get back to my beloved cubes :D

Ok, today I was in great cube shape. I decided to trash your PB. Did not work unfortunatly :) So I decided to quit after 50 solves. Still happy with the many 19's, 18's, 17's and 16 ;)

Hi, Marcel from Holland here

MarcelP said:
Any of you guys have the AoLong yet? Mine are on the way but not even in the country yet. I am really looking forward to it. Feliks had a PB Ao100 on the AoLong. 7.02 :) Must be something special about that cube then :)

I got it. It's incredible. Do not hesitate whatsoever. I feel like it's especially good for faz because he likes super loose cubes. This does really well at loose tensions because it doesn't lose any stability.

This isn't the accomplishment thread.

No, but it has become basically it's own thread for older cubers to talk about there progress and stuff. It's Marcel's thread, not yours, so you don't have a say on what is posted in it. I can understand if someone was spamming or being bashful, but Mark and Marcel have become good friends and share there progress with each other in this thread.

Edit: Marcel, where did you hear that Feliks beat his ao100 PB with the AoLong because if there is a video i would like to see it :)

Broke my Ao5 PB and Single PB today with AoLong. Single was lucky (OLL skip). Great cube. But maybe too fast for me. I have tightened it a bit added some lube and it is somewhat slower now. I do not know if I like Weilong V2 better or not. Too soon to tell. PB's are mostly a good indicator that a cube is awesome.
These are on video btw :)
