"NEW" Race to Sub-30!

[MichaelErskine]

The Sub-30 Thread Olympics!!!

Event #1: "On-the-Fly"
41.03

Event #2: Tightrope
34.49

Event #3: Cyclops
41.91

Event #4: Walkabout
39.69

Event #5: The Lazy Cuber
28.82

Event #6: The REALLY Lazy Cuber
50.87

Event #7: Practice Makes Perfect
36.72
Although I had the cross worked out (white on top, solve green then switching orange and red with M2 U2 M2) the F2L seemed to be different every time so I gained little by having time to practice!

Event #8: F2L
26.41

Event #9: The "Cold" Solve
37.95+

Event #10: Butterfingers
55.57
Using my knee-length old-school tubesocks from http://www.skatersocks.com/

Event #11: Simple?
19.82
I didn't spot the trick so I did random M slices to see if it came together. Then a Z-Perm finished it.

Event #12: "To and Fro"
58.73

Faz does f2l in under 5 secs makes me feel bad...

Crazy olympics average: 29,94

1: 36.48
2: 30.05 Seems my balance is really bad in the morning, must've looked so dumb. xD
3: 28.19
4: 36.74 I use a desktop computer so this one was complicated. Decided to walk to the kitchen and turn back when F2L was done, got an easy OLL and ended up running back through the house while doing lefty R-perm.

10. 1:02.53
11. (5.28) (nice trick. If I didn't get a lock up, I probably would have gotten 4.xx)
12. 26.31

On #12, I just reversed the scramble...is that okay? Should I DNF it?

Video coming soon!

EDIT: NOOOOO! I just realized that I did the Tightrope event wrong...I picked up one foot, and actually put it on the window...hard to explain...you'll see when I upload the video. So does that mean that it's DNF? I think it should count 'cause like, it was harder than just picking up one foot and leaving it there...

My Olympic average video:

So, Carson: should my Tightrope be DNF'ed?

And the cube in the vid is a DaYan GuHong with Cubesmith chrome stickers that someone gave to me for my birthday (in January) finally being put to use.

And sorry for the choppy editing.

Joining Race

Hey everyone! I'm hoping to join the sub 30 race soon because my Alpha V cube is arriving soon! Do I just post my average of 12 times or do I need to register and confirm with Carson or anything? Also what times should I count? I mean should I count the first average of 12 time that I get or the best times, etc? I will start on Round 16. Thanks!

No, just post whenever you feel like joining.

And Carson will post the scrambles for every round whenever the round starts. Just follow those scrambles, and post the times you get for those scrambles.
