Since my eastsheen is dead now I use my rubiks from now on, though I still like eastsheen better. I tried using a different way of pairing up the edges. Instead of making them all in the E layer. I kind of did like on 4x4 2 at a time. Making one triplet and setting the other up by making 2 cubies together at the same time. Thanks to AvGalen for showing me this. I'm getting better with it now

As close as I could get to all sub-7 without getting it.. oh well. 1st one was a personal best. The last one was really fast on centers and the first 8-10 tredges, but I messed up during a double-wing swap and didn't notice it (a center corner/center edge pair was swapped on blue/green) until a few moves into the 3x3 solve..had to fix the centers, fix the 4 tredges it messed up, and then get on to the 3x3. I decided to use my ES cube for this average, for no particular reason.

I have only been practising the 5x5x5 since the Belgian Open. I am now "officialy" sub 3! This was a good average because all solves were consistent. Most of the time I loose focus during 1 or 2 solves. I have also had a new personal best of 2.21, which is crazy with my method!
