Good spot. The relationship between our times is quite interesting!

The one thing that got the best results for me was to really go for fast memo. Cut down on your reviews. If you know your average memo time then force yourself to do it in 4/5ths of the time. You'll DNF a lot more to start with but just accept that. When you get close to hitting that target then cut it again.
With my audio edges i didn't start execution until I'd done a clean review but that's a waste of time Now I solve during that review.
Knowing your letter pairs helps massively too. Unfortunately I've not put enough time into this yet.

@newtonbase - Congratulations on no less than three BLD comp PBs. Unlucky on the timer issue but that is still awesome mate.
@h2f - Indeed nice FMC result sir
@Shaky Hands - A very impressive haul of comp PBs buddy and your megaminx is getting awesome.
@Logiqx - Well the oldies PB sheet is already having an effect. I realised I did not have a good 5x5 average on film so decided to put that right. Really pleased with this average which is not only a PB by 4 seconds but also "Sub Ron in comp". If you pause the video at the very start you will see I am in the PB sheet
5x5 Average of 5: 1:44.26
1:42.56, (2:07.85), 1:42.37,1:47.86, (1:38.23)

What's you video making process like? Ive been wanting to create some sort of montage of PB's on video. But I have no idea where to start. Do you record straight to your laptop?

I'm not on the same level as most of you guys, but I'll be adding my unofficial PBs to the list soon...

There are several tabs in the sheet - Single, MBLD, Ao5, Ao12, Ao50, Ao100

I was looking at the top for way too long! lol
Finally realized the tabs are at the bottom

The other problem I seem to have is knowing if I have all the pieces covered. I can't seem to memo fast and keep track efficiently of if I have all 11 targets accounted for. When I try to keep track of the math my memo suffers. Same goes the other way around. Did this just become easier from brute force practice for you?

Strewth Chris... I need to up my game having seen your home PBs!
The Google Sheet is getting better and better with all of the recent additions. Hopefully we'll get even more people contributing over the next few days.
Top tip for editors: After adding / updating your time(s) you can drag + drop the new / changed row to wherever it belongs.

@Logiqx - Haha, I suck in comp mate, get far too nervous. Filling in the sheet will be a bit of a work in progress as I try and dig up where I recorded a PB. Sometimes here, sometimes on FB, sometimes on UKCA Discord. Great work though mate, another source for motivation moving forward.

@Selkie same here... I have great warm-up times then when it comes to my actual turn everything just fails me. My nerves get the better of me every time. I only hope that as my home PBs improve, that it'll have a proportional effect on my official times too and those will improve as well.

Well, the PB sheet has already been quite inspiring for me. I went ahead and entered PBs for 4x4x4 for both AvG and Hoya, since I'm hoping to beat my AvG speed with Hoya soon. If I do, I'll remove the AvG entries. And this week for the weekly competition I beat my previous Hoya PBs (single and avg5) by 5 seconds! I'm only a few seconds away from my AvG avg5 PB now!

I used to use Windows Movie Maker by Microsoft withdrew it when they added editing functionality to Photos in Windows 10 Creators Fall Edition. I played around a bit with some of the free offerings including Lightworks, Shotcut and VSDC. Lightworks was very feature rich but took a lot more learning so I ended up buying Adobe Premier Elements 2018 and to be honest I am extremely happy with it. So easy to edit and title videos and it has "Quick" and "Expert" modes which you can switch between which makes the learning curve very easy but with advanced features when needed.
