[Official] 8.96 +2 Joey Gouly UK Open 2011 Finals

[joey]

+2
Non-lucky. Would have beaten my 9.15 from last year.
Oh well.
Thanks to Andrew Coghill for the footage.

(If people have more footage of this, I'd like to see, especially if it has more reaction )

I'm afraid I left the scrambles with Seventowns, so I doubt I'll find it again. Don't worry - I'm sure Brest can reconstruct it

+2 was fate - you'll never beat UKNR

EDIT: Inb4 sub8 next comp

I was going to do it, even if Brest wasn't

I hope so

Aw no, unlucky slip there....

 

[joey]

Thanks a lot Brest.

 

[Zane_C]

Damn.

 

[Brest]

Thanks a lot Brest.

You're welcome!

It's a really nice solve, apart from the +2.
I love the misaligned cross into Xcross start, it's one of my favourite skills. =)

My usual mantra is "never do x-crosses in competition", but in this case it nearly worked out

But nice (almost) solve anyway joey.
