Decided to give this thread a shot. I am still a ways away from sub 1, but didn't see a race to sub 2. Using the reduction method and experimenting with different edge pairing techniques. Using a ShenShou V I. It tends to lock up quite a bit on me but I dislike it less than my Dayan + MF8 4x4.

try learning Yau it brought my times from 1:45 to 1:25 in like 3 days once you get the hang of it, yau is quite easy! HERE is the link to a good tutorial

Thanks for the link. I think I saw you say something about this on another thread so I tried looking up some tutorials. Unfortunately I can't watch videos here...(they're blocked). I came across this http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...method-(my-version)-examples-with-explanation but had a bit of a hard time following it. Maybe i'll give it a shot again later on.

My sentiments as well. My average right now is somewhere between 2:20 and 2:30ish.

 

[Selkie]

Everybody is more than welcome, whatever level, nice to have more participants. In the coming weeks we will be changing from a single band of sub 1 to multiple bands anyway. That way you could work to sub 2 then stay within the thread to work towards sub 1:30 etc. My own experience is that the race threads give some good motivation, might as well make use of that at the earliest chance

I will create a new rules post though the rules will not change much from Cyrus' original rules but will include goal bands etc. Cyrus will then be good enough to link to this in his first post.

Talking of bandings .. I have mentioned on a couple of occasions in the last couple of weeks about introducing goals bands and changing the thread title to simply '4x4 Race'. How do people feel about this and how would you like the bandings to look (2:00, 1:30, 1:00) or (2:00, 1:40, 1:20, 1:00) or maybe another combination. Feel free to make suggestions.
