I've been practicing safe solves for public presentations a lot lately, so today I decided to go for an average of 50 and got this on cam

Do you guys know what the UWR is? I couldn't find anything on YouTube.

I saw a video of an Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson solving the cube on the trampoline while doing a somersault every 5 bounces. Here it is.

Spoiler: video

I love watching Nile's vlogs and this challange was especially interesting for me so I took my cube and went to the trampolines club the next day After a couple of tries, I got a 35ish seconds solve. I was trying to do a flip every 3 jumps, becaue 5 seemed way too boring.

Here is my video (uncut, sorry, the thing starts at 0:30 and ends at 1:10)

Spoiler: video

The next logical thing for me was doing it blindfolded. I can't flip with my eyes closed yet, so I just tried doing memo and then exec without looking at the cube while still bouncing.
I got 1:22 after a lot tries. Reasons for all DNFs (they were actually give-ups) were a commutator execution being interrupted by a backflip, where it's impossible to recover So I developed a little tactic to do a 3BLD while doing a flip every 3 jumps. I basically prepare to do a commutator and then start executing it right after the backflip landing. 2 extra bounces is enough to complete the execution and think about the next one, and so on.
I want to do it sub-1 now. I will film it hopefully this weekend and upload on my channel, not *unlisted* this time

Great,
good luck for trying it blindfolded!

For a change, I decided to try something niche and suss out pyraminx BLD. Luckily enough I got a success on my first attempt in about 8 minutes, with memo done in 4:16.21. Technically, I finished memo but then realised I had to do something else quickly so I came back after about 10 minutes and did execution. Getting used to the lettering scheme and general layout of the puzzle was probably the biggest challenge for me, which is probably why it took me forever to do tracing. Execution was slow and steady - it definitely has scope for improvement with a few more attempts under my belt.

Overall, pretty stoked and pleased with my effort. This might be something I'll revisit periodically to keep things interesting if I hit a wall with 3BLD or whatnot.

4BLD PB!!!
6:58 [3:34]
Got this PB after a 5:46 DNF.(DNF by 3 wings)
Reduced 2:14 from earlier PB of 9:12.
8 solved x-centers, 1 solved wing and 2 solved corners made life easier but, bad pauses during wing execution and some cube lock ups prevented it from being sub-6.
Intersetingly, got this PB on Fabio's 10:54 4BLD scramble.
409 moves in 203 secs
=2.01 TPS

21/25 MBLD in 50min 41.44s [memo ~31min]

Off by a flipped edge for 2 cubes, a twisted corner for 1 cube and two corner targets for 1 cube

Finally able to get a decent memo speed

Last weekend Mark Boyanowski completed a Mo3 in 5bld.
He was the 20th to do this in comp and became just the second (after Jan Bentlage) to have an average or mean in all actual events.

Yesterday I did a Mo3 in 7x7 and am now the third with a complete scoresheet

YESSSSSSSS 6BLD Success!

44:08 with 30:02 memo

Got through all of outer wings, then realized I needed to go back a couple wings because I missed 2 letter pairs. Had parity on both wing sets so I did parity with 2 layers at the end.

First sub-10 4BLD after an ungodly amount of failures.

Edit 3: OK this closes down a really productive weekend for me. Two back to back sub 10s, a 9:34.31 Mo3 (first ever!) as well as a 10:25.02 Ao5!

Prerty happy I have been super salty with 4BLD lately due to too many failures and my inability to backtrack specific mistakes, but this is quickly changing the more I practice.
