[Unofficial] Speedcubing in freefall

[Swordsman Kirby]

Dan Knights drilled a hole in the cube and tied the cube to him. That's assistance. SOLVE DOES NOT COUNT KTHX

I'll post it here instead so I don't hijack the other thread.

Sorry. As a cuber who has solved a cube in freefall, I don't consider your solve as beating Dan Knights. As you said, you were sitting in a boat which cut out a lot of wind resistance. It's easy to tell how much easier it was for you to solve the cube than it was for either me, Jimmy or Dan. In order to hold the UWR I would require that you freefall (solo or tandem) with just a parachute and the reserve and no tools can be used to assist you with your solve (in your case, the boat). But that's just me.

Dan Knights, Jimmy Coll and I did true free fall solves without any outside assistance. So far, I would say that we are the only three cubers eligible for the UWR.

Either way, congratulations on your solve. It looks like you had fun.

@ajmorgan25 man dont be so competitive

Talk about extreme sports!

imagine doing that with one of Fisher's massive cubes. also, to people who have been saying utter rubbish, this probably wasn't a competeion, it was just to have a gret experiance.
