Just solved my 3x3 full BLD for the first time! After many failures, I finally got it!!

Well done. Great feeling isn't it?

Thanks!
I will make one after a decent solve without pauses

First timed 3BLD success! 9:10.57.

 

[cmhardw]

New PB!!
1:28.76. First solve of the session, and first timed solve for a while. I would sometimes do BLD in front of friends or something, but I can't seem to do BLD in public when I show people. Anyone else struggle with the same thing and how to overcome it?

I just saw this and am interested in this too. I used to struggle with this also, but I've done a number of cube talks and public demos and have developed what I think is a good technique for very high accuracy in public solves.

The basic idea is that the harder you work for the solve, the higher the accuracy will be.

An extreme example, if I have you an entire week to both memorize and plan your solution for a 3x3 BLD, I'll bet your chance of getting the solve successfully would be nearly 100%. You could have the memo down so well that you would likely remember that solve for months after, you would even have time to work out a speed blind solution if you wanted.

When you solve BLD in competition, the incentive is for you to be fast. Solve fast BLD, win the competition. If you approach a public solve from this mindset, your accuracy will likely be WORSE than it is in competition because you are "on the spot" for the public solve and nerves are high.

It really is as simple as, approach a public solve from the viewpoint of get the solve successfully, NOT from the viewpoint of get a fast solve.

I've done public demos for groups of 50-100 people, and their minds are BLOWN away by a 3:30 BLD solve. In competition, at my peak, I solved BLD in the 1:20s. So I take at least twice as much time as my normal competition speed when doing a public demo. However, the trade off for that is that my accuracy in public solves is very high, at least 90% or more.

Also, if you do DNF a public solve, I have as well, simply do a "two look" solve by memo'ing the current state and solving the rest.

People are slightly less impressed with a two-look solve than a proper BLD solve, but it still blows their minds.

Good luck with your public solves! Don't be a fast BLD competitor in a public solve, be a good performer and the solve will be fantastic for your audience.

Wow thanks! I'll try it now in class.

I attempted 5BLD last night. I thought about putting this in the blindfold failures thread (it was a DNF) but IMO, even just attempting 5BLD is an accomplishment in itself. The time was 36:xx off by 10 + centers, 7 x centers, 2 wings, and 2 midges, but the wings/midges were all in the right places, just flipped. I'm now one of the very few Canadians to have attempted 5BLD

 

[Rcuber123]

Had a success rate of 3/7 today after not having a success for almost a month!

The times were 8:12 7:39 and 7:13

Nice :tu
Too bad we have so few competitions with 5BLD (or 4BLD or Multi, for that matter).

Thanks! Yeah, it is unfortunate, I probably won't get an official bigBLD for a long time.. Although we are planning on having MBLD at the Edmonton Open, Winter 2016. (Probably January)

Crazy PB! 2:59.11. Old pb was 5:48.07. I finished memo at 1:30ish and knew then it would be fast. Scramble was easy, 10 edge targets and 6 corner targets.

7:05.10 4BLD, first success in a loooong time.

I seriously doubt I'm going to set any more NARs, but I'd like to get back into big BLD and I definitely think my comp pbs are improvable...
