Brussels Summer Open 2008

Clock: 11, 13, 11 (DNF), missed the last one at 1 tick of the clock. Too bad, could've given me a nice avg but there is a next chance the next tournament. Finally improving at Clock again now that I have a good one! :D

now erik... i know you have a thing for beating matyas' records, but clock is mine:D

anyway nice job, im excited to see what you will accomplish when you are not ill or getting +2s all the time.
 
Erik already broke the 5x5x5 WR after his first 4 solve. I told him that he should DNS it for fun, but he decided to do an "all or nothing" attempt to break to single WR. When he didn't break it he stopped the timer.

And for magic a string came out and he waited as long as possible to stop the timer. He was planning on doing a 9:59.99, but there was a 2 minutes time limit.

(I uploaded the video's Tobias and I made on my camera and send a link to the files to Erik. If he finds the time he will upload them to his youtube account)
 
Geez, Erik, you're CRAZY :|. ****ing unbelievable. Way to GO! Congrats!

When will we see a sub40 4x4 single? :P I'm guessing less than a year or so :D.
 
I've got some videos on my camera, and I will upload them as soon as possible, tommorow, if not today.

In the 3x3 he was very unlucky to have a penalty twice (!) in the same average. If the last one wasn't a penalty, it would definately be sub-11 average.

Not to be able to solve a cube is not a matter of luck at all !!!

I think we all know Erik knows how to solve a cube. :)

I know it's always a bit your own fault when you have +2, but when you're pushing it to the limit, one has to take some risks. Off course it's a bit unlucky not to be rewarded for these risks.
Still you make a point.

Belgian Dutch (Flemish) sounds so much nicer than normal Dutch :D
Also, when we are we think in a foreign country and want to say funny, good or bad things about it we mostly just say it in Dutch. We didn't really realise the people could just understand it xD

I agree. Our region speaks German in the same way that they speak Dutch, our dialect and accent is just deeper.

And OUR language also sounds much nicer than normal German. Especially because normal German sounds so hectic and pushy.

(There's even people who say that we can talk to the Flemish guys and the guys in Alsace in our language :P; we quite speak Middle German which was spoken when there was no Dutch yet)
 
Hi everybody,
Amazig results, especially for one person...
Congrats Erik!
But only 8.90 is not so fast. But you're still my hero. haha

At Euro there 's only one dangerous competitor called "" nerves"!
