Nice ao12 on the 5x5.

What is your next goal on the 5x5?

 

[Timona]

I've been doing mostly 5x5 recently as you can see and managed to set new PBs for ao5 (1:07.35) and ao12 (1:10.99). Getting closer to 1:10 global and sub 1 single!

What method do you use for 5x5 btw?

 

[LwBigcubes]

Nice ao12 on the 5x5.

What is your next goal on the 5x5?

Hey thank you! My next goal for 5x5 would be sub 1:10 global and sub 1 singles, but most importantly is to enjoy and have fun solving these big cubes

Finally! First ever sub 2:30 7x7 single yesterday:

This happened literally out of no where because the solves before and after were all between 2:50 to 3:10 and I average around 2:58.

 

[EthanMCuber]

nice!

 

[LwBigcubes]

7x7 pb mo3 and almost pure sub 2:50 if not for that shaky solve 3. Grateful to still be on form even though I've been taking cubing more casually these days.
