Hi, Gordon from Swizerland here!

Congrats!! That is one awesome scramble. I had 18.98 without warming up ;)

EDIT: My son has his birthday so I do not have the time for cubing. I did a quick Ao5 to full fill some cube needs and with your scramble to start with it was a great Ao5 ;)

Best average of 5: 23.71
1-5 - (18.98) (28.12) 25.90 22.09 23.14

10.63 for me, could have been sub 10 if its not yellow cross. Actually just did an white, 9.42 which is like my 10th sub 10. Awesome scramble!

Just did another 8.21, lets sub 8 this
Wow, 7.99 my first sub8! Lol!
7.50. Lets sub 7

After my 3rd sub 30 avg of 12 in the race-to-sub-30 I somehow slowed down. Now I only seldom get sub 30 times.
So I switched to solve the 4x4 a bit more and just got a new single PB:

2:07.71
D’ Fw’ R’ B Rw’ U F’ U’ D’ L’ U’ D2 Rw Uw’ U2 D’ Rw2 Fw’ B2 U’ Fw Rw Fw2 Rw U2 D F Uw2 Fw R2 U’ Uw’ R2 Fw’ U’ Rw F Uw2 B’ F’



I hope I can get a sub 2 mins solve soon :)

Don't you just hate that :) After great improvements for 5 weeks until I was at 33.x and thinking "yeah I can do this", I had my worst ever entry of 40.x. My slowest since like February LOL :)

Wow man.. Nice going again.. I have lost all interest in 4 X 4 lately. I only do 5 solves per week (for weekly competition) ;) It shows in my times. I just love 3 X 3 practice lately.
 
For me it's the opposite. Most of my 3x3 solves are so crappy at the moment. I don't know what the problem is, but this startet after I graduated in the race to sub 30 thread.

For example, here is my latest avg of 12: 37.03
Individual times: 45.21, 46.45, 38.59, 33.47, 25.22, 30.19, 30.78, 28.91, 1:00.82, 1:08.26, 29.68, 26.23

And my last avg of 5: 33.01
Individual times: 24.82, 30.09, 51.47, 37.94, 30.99

Note that there are some quite good times, but I'm inconsistent as hell.

However, that's why I currently prefer the 4x4, but also there, my times are just bad at the moment.


Maybe all this is because my cubing-motivation is bad at the moment, but it is bad, because of the negative progress I do at the moment.



Edit (two hours later)

I realy don't know what's going on... suddenly a good average, and it's even on video :)

Average of 5: 28.62

Nice times!! Wow.. yeah I have been otherwise occupied a bit, only training the 3x3 every now and then, so I am not expecting super times at next comp hahah. But well done!!
 
Funny to here something like that just now, when I had an avg of 5 with 37.something... one solve was sup 50 :)

But I think (hope) it's just a bad day. Going for lunch now and then I'm trying some better times.




I saw the times in your thread. Man, I whish I would be as fast as you.
 
I just wanted to do the same as you.
Three averages of 5 with three cubes.

When I was filming the last avg of 5, the memory card was full, so now I'm moving the already filmed away to finish the last avg of 5.
Hopefully I can upload them today.


So. Here are the videos

Whoohoo! Good Stuff man. I remember clearly when you where struggling to make an average of 5 sub 35. ;)
Click to expand...

Yep, I remember too. In my first post, roughly nine month ago, my avg of 5 PB was 36.64.

Yesterday, I just did some solves for fun, and this new avg of 5 PB popped up after the first 5 solves:

Average of 5: 27.33
Individual times: 28.18, (28.65), (22.09), 28.39, 25.41

So my improvement in the last 9 month is around 9 seconds. I wonder if my improvement will go on like this.
