Probably the first ever race on skewb on this forums lol
We are racing for sub 3 ao1000 btw

My PBs:
ao1000: 3.13
ao100: 2.82

@Kivvi's PBs:
ao1000: 307
ao100: 2.86


Even tho I look a bit faster, I got those times over a year ago, and now I average more in the mid 3s-low 3s so I hope its fair

Race of the century, you guys got this!
 
yeah my weekly comp results are also pretty much just rage bait😭💀
For some reason I've been absolutely locked in during weekly comps recently (this isn't normal, just the last couple of comps)
I hope this continues because I usually suck under even the slightest bit of pressure 😭
 
Quick report of what I've been doing the past few days:
I finally listened to @CubeLite 's advice and practiced lookahead, didn't memorize any specific layers though. I did a lot of solves with unlimited inspection on my Skewb-practice session, I've been able to hit sub 3 and low 3 a lot more regularly, and a fair amount of sub 2.5 averages too : )

My school is doing an experiment where students can't use their phones for the next three weeks, and I'm participating in that, so I won't be able to post anything here until (I think it's) the 26th. I will still be skewbing though : D
Feel free to ask me any questions about the experiment, you'll get the answer in 3 weeks : )

Bro you're lucky, phones in school are straight up illegal in my state
 
says the one who smashed all his PRs in a competition💀
I probably only managed to destroy them by so much because I had improved loads since the comp before this, but I'd say there were still a lot of pretty decent scrambles (btw my 41 4x4 solve had everything except 3x3 stage done at 26 seconds, including cross, and I had OLL parity so I sold the PB but still PB3 or so)
 
YESS, I finally found the loose magnet inside my skewb and took the corner apart after like 2 mins lol, but we apparently dont have super glue so i gotta wait until afternoon to fully fix it
Got the glue and was able to repair the skewb : D
I also tried to setup it with lubes, but I made it too fast so I think tomorrow I need to clean and lube it again
 
Ok so I cleaned the skewb and it was somewhat fast, so I didnt lube it, but its starting to be good after using it
And I cooked a bit with it, but also messed up big time with double DNF and ruining my flow
