If you do a x before the scramble, you can use white and yellow to start your cross.

The OLL skips are awesome, and the way you know how to pair up the next pair with the current pair, if you know what I mean, is also incredible. That's what I'm working on at the moment!

for scramble 8 last two pairs why not?

R U R'
y' U2 R U' R' U R U' R'

It's less moves, less rotations, first move cancels with last move.
It gives a very similar last layer, wierdly :p

I guess you just didn't spot it through the camera or something

As I told in the beginning of the video I'm a blue/green cross solver, therefore I'm not used to solving white/yellow pairs and therefore I sadly didn't see it. If it would be on blue or green I pretty likely would have seen in. Also, I didn't have the best view because of the camera, so that also might be the reason why I didn't see it.
 
I know this question is not too suitable here, but...

Mats- tell us what lube do You use for your cubes ?
Especially 3x3 and 4x4 :)

At the Dutch radio he told he uses some kind of Indian hair product as a lube. ;) I don't know if he was pulling a joke or not. But in this video he uses a Moyu Weilong which is super fast with any lube.
