[Unofficial] Maskow: My first 5x5 BLD success ever! 12:27 [4:31]

[Maskow]

7th attempt
Previous attempts:
26:20 [12:50]
20:59 [9:24]
15:30 [5:09]
14:33 [5:47]
11:50 [4:10]
11:29 [4:25]

So I failed in not doing 4x4 and 5x5 BLD Free medals are stronger than that.

What... your first success is 12:27? That's good enough for top 20 in the world. Very impressive. I can see you getting really fast (well even better than you are now... you're already really fast) at bigBLD if you practise; it looks like your times are going down quickly. Sub-10 shouldn't be too hard for you. You need a better cube though

 

[DeeDubb]

So greedy... can't you let Ollie have anything???


(just kidding, congrats!)

EDIT: It's also so nice seeing amazing cubers struggling like us normal folk do.

 

[Renslay]

Congrats!

By the way, your cube seems tight and uncomfortable.

GO MASKOW

You're one of my biggest inspirations for blindsolving. Don't stop!

 

[Iggy]

Omg pls have mercy

 

[Hari]

That's also enough for 2nd in Poland, just like he is in 3bld.

So, he can already memo faster than me. Once he gets a 5x5 that doesn't suck and works out how to turn it better, he will probably get top-10. Wat.

 

[CyanSandwich]

Nice! I wouldn't be surprised if this was the fastest first 5BLD success ever.

 

[guysensei1]

Good Job Maskow!

Nice! I wouldn't be surprised if this was the fastest first 5BLD success ever.

Conspiracy: He could success 5BLD all this while but chose not to until he was (quite) fast at it just to get this title.

 

[DavidCip86]

That's fast for a first success :O

 

[RayLam]

the persentage of memo and execution proves your memo speed is terribly fast.

 

[Joey VOV]

That turning looked painful. You will be much faster once your turning gets better, congrats!
I still have not yet attempted 5bld

I kne you were going to get a super-fast first success: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?46239-5BLD-First-Success&p=950936#post950936

Congrats Maskow! That's very exciting!

 

[G2013]

Wow!!
In a few years you will do 17BLD...

 

[Ollie]

It's cool to see you doing 5BLD now but for the love of god...

Spoiler

Please stop doing slice moves like that. You can cut off at least 3 minutes straight away by not persisting with awkward execution tricks. You might get away with doing r, l' or M' with your right ring finger. Thanks

 

[ollicubes]

Nice! Better cube and better turning style and world record is closer and closer... Until you beat it! (very sorry, Oliver)
