Erik Akkersdijk - The Megaminx

[fanwuq]

I'm placing my money on Stefan And also Japan. They seem to have one specialist in every event. I bet they even have the world's fastest Skewb solver or something.

By the way, you spelled Erik's last name wrongly, twice.

Their best FMC solver isn't that great yet.

Which AsR is going to be broken at VA?
Hopefully sub-30?

Who's good enough to do sub-30?

Perhaps lucky scramble hopefully? Even if it's the hardest scramble ever, I'm confident that AsR would at least be tied.

When Tibet becomes a recognized country, that is.

Umm........ do ANY of you know that Erik doesn't practice megaminx at all/ Also, chris brownlee is better than Erik, but just can never compete. Obviously erik's really good, but from what he's told me, has never had a sub-1 solve at home, and doesn't practice at all.

Who is this Chris Brownlee, and why can he not participate in competitions?

 

[joey]

He is just chris brownlee. He doesn't have time to compete really, he has a wife and like 4 kids (not sure, but I know it's several ) and a busy job. I know there are other people in similar situations.. Mike

 

[Swoncen]

If he is so busy, how can he practise so much to be that good?

 

[Neutrals01]

Who is this Chris Brownlee, and why can he not participate in competitions?

hmm.. I guess because he isn't free on the competition days? or there isn't any competition near the area he live? just guessing, because like my country also no official competitions here... really wish there would be an official competition in my country or singapore(neighbour)...

 

[joey]

When he has free time he can practice, but there isn't always a competition late after work, when the kids are in bed, so he can compete? Amirite?

 

[Swoncen]

sure he can practise, but I think to be sub 1 in Megaminx it needs alot of practise.. Amirite? =)

 

[joey]

That really depends on the person, so people don't need much practise to get good at something. And he has been cubing a long time also.

 

[masterofthebass]

Chris has gotten sub-1 on megaminx while not even being sub-20 on 3x3. Chris has also been doing this for a while, and is obviously very good. He has competed before, but that was back in like 05 or 04. Just because people have lives that prevent them from traveling across the country for a Saturday doesn't mean he's not good.

 

[Stefan]

I'd be interested to watch Chris on video, is one available somewhere?

 

[joey]

Hmm.

I think I have seen a video of him somewhere else too (youtube is my guess), but Im having trouble finding it again.

 

[Stefan]

Ok I wasn't clear. I meant a video of him solving the megaminx. Preferably at least under 1:20 (faster is obviously better).

I'm glad someone caught that part of the joke, i was afraid it would be missed.

i am also interested in seeing this. i believe that chris did it, but i want to see him solve, to see what his style is like. as far as i can tell, stefan, erik, and laetitia all have different styles. i am interested to see what chris looks like when he solves.

You were clear, I was just saying that basically they are *no* videos of him. Next time we speak, I'll try to persuade him to take a video (if he has the ways and means!).

Me too, actually. I want there to be some sort of competition and perhaps focus more to get something at least decent in OH and BLD. Then sometime after MistArts gets AsR, I'll take it. But if he DNFs, I'll gladly take it at VA.
I don't want to just barely beat 37 moves (current AsR and something around my current average (not best, best 3/5 was 33.), I hope to get at least sub35. It would be nice if we both sub-35.
