I was there. It was crazy. The first round solves were really slow because everyone was freezing (41 degrees), and Dan had a 28.02 to start the second round, but he turned it on from there. Two 20's, then the 17, and a 23 to finish to end up with an amazing 21.46 WR average. The average is way more impressive and will stand a lot longer than that single.

i somehow can't watch it... could you upload this to your youtube channel?

edit: okay, i've been able to watch it now.

pretty cool could have been even faster if the cube wouldn't jam at the end.
looks like he had Sune OLL and Edge-Cycle PLL.
