I have been practicing feet a ton since I have placed at Indiana. I am really happy to get this mean of 3! It is my first sub 1:30 mean of 3! I believe that I can sub 1 a mean of 3 by the end of the year, although it may not be on camera. I think feet is going to officially be my event that I focus on. I really want to beat NAR single/average!!! Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch my videos!

Here are the stats:

Best Feet Mean of 3: 1:27.402

1:32.082+ U' F B' D F' U' D' B R L2 U D2 L' F B2 D' U L F B2 L' D' L' R' F
1:33.690 F2 L2 B U L B2 F2 U' R B L2 U F2 D' R L B U D B2 R2 U2 D2 L' B2
1:16.433 L2 B2 F2 L' B D R' B U2 R F' L R2 B F' U L2 F B U' F' L2 B' R F

EDIT:

Yay!

You should practice on hard floor!

Carpet makes it easier to do feet, so make it as difficult as possible ;)

Good idea! I have always seen you in your videos doing stuff on hard floor, and I thought that it was easier for you, but I guess you were making it as hard as possible! Thanks! I was also wondering how you do U moves (rotate or not)?

Nice Pajamas. Also, I don't know how you can do U moves with feet. I can't stand them. I usually rotate and do B.

IKR. I actually have watched videos and people said to rotate and do B/F moves, but that is what I can't stand. I just stuck with what I liked. It may not be the fastest for others, but to me it is faster than rotation.

I only have hard floors in my home, and most places I compete has hard floors, so that comes natural!

U turns? I don't do them!!!
I use RFLB turns thats it!

Look at my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/henrikthedane to see some of my feet videos.
(I do green cross, and therefor always end with blue, so keep that in mind)

But I do think U turns are (getting) very popular in the feet event, WR single is with U turns, and 3rd place at EC12 was also with U turns.
I do not like to perform U turns, so I just put my cube on the side so U became F or B, and after a while it didn't really matter. I (re)learned/ changed all my F2L/OLL/PLL algs for feet in my head.

Somehow it as also helped me onehanded, it is kind of the same thing, being limited/restricted to a certain set of moves.

I hope that helped

U turns aren't slow. Look at this:
This is Jakub Kipa and his solves @ Euro 2012 (3rd place and Polish NR). As you can see he used to (he told us that he doesn't do that any more) solve cube with ONLY U turns and he was sub1 doing this ;)

I know that U turns can be fast. WR single is with U-turns only! 27sec!

I just don't like it!
