Woo-hoo!!!!
59.34 BLD solve totally non lucky besides for just 2 solved corners and that was it!
just did it now up at 2:30 am on a school night practicing some BLD since I haven't done any in the LOOOOOOOONGEST TIME!
Not pb but I am just SO HAPPY! SUB-1 again for once in a lifetime is BEAUTIFUL!

Hey Derrick, thanks for the "friendly" scramble. I just tried it and hit a 1:16 (about 24 sec memo). Not my best, but pretty good considering I've got 12 beers in me. haha :) need to work on execution... way too slow and too many pauses. My freestyle is extremely poor... need to work on my commutators. :)

Peace,
Auburn

47.58 o_o Absolutely wicked scramble. :P
 
New BLD PB!
54.80 seconds. Memo was sub-20, which I don't get very often. This was a non-lucky solve. However, my averages aver VERY inconsistent, the solve before this was a 2:xx.xx

wow that's very good.
And funny to see that you had a 35 sec bld Solve. and your normal speed avg is 36 sec. so you can solve the cube bld and normal at the same speed :)

My average is 20-25 seconds, not 36. I don't know the scramble unfortunately because I used cubetimer which doesn't keep scrambles.

ow ok, wel i checked your official times. but 35 sec bld exec is still very impressive to me. i'm learning TuRBo right now and i hope to get a 35 sec exec once. still have to learn all the corner algs.
 
I'm not bothering with those, I just need practice with commutators. I use TuRBo edges and a mixture of old pochmann and TuRBo corners (depending on the case)

By the way, that 36 second average was extremely HORRIBLE. My cube popped on each of the 5 solves, and on one of them, the edge flew into the audience and I had to crawl under the table, get the edge, and put it back into the cube, make one last R2 move, and then stop the timer (otherwise it would have been sub-20, for that solve, I got an OLL skip)
 
Yesterday, while traveling, I decided to do some blindfold solves in the car without timing myself and got 3 in row out of 5 solved. Today, I challenged myself to keep doing a BLD average until I got 2 DNFs and got this:

Not the best of times but at least the accuracy is starting to improve. Oh, the four solve DNF was only an R Z-perm R' away from being solved and the 6th DNF had 3 corners cycled the wrong way and an edge parity.
