The better the records get, the harder it is to improve and the less room there is to improve Good luck beating this record Dan!

Cubing, too is starting to become a competition between the big guys. There are only 4-5 people who can average sub 1:30 or beat that single time. 1:16 is very depressing for me since my PB is 3:19.80

I modified my original post to be less upsetting to the cubing community.

LOL, nice one . You taught them

Oh, well done Mr. Akkersdijk! I dropped 5 seconds today, and so did you! (grrr, how am I supposed to catch up? ).

Awesome Dene! What did you get and what do you average on 5x5? Your getting really good at big cubes now.

Check my cubemania profile, all my times are there.


EDIT: By the way, good luck Mr. Cohen. I, however, will beat whatever you get

Wow, this is crazy. Good job, Erik! Now the question:
Will you be faster on real cube than on hi-games.net?

I have a much better version of the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv6o867a3yo&fmt=6
It still isn't posible to see the details of the solve, but better than the first upload

Personally, I think you should remove the first video, leaving only this one. It's much better. And btw, thanks for the uploads!

nonsence I started to practise the 5x5 a few months ago for real speed,my official record was 3:32 in june, after 3 month it is 2:32. If a 47 year old cuber can improve 1 min in 3 months , I am sure you can too!

Still with 2:32 I am the slowest dutch cuber at the 5x5, , I know I can do a 2:15 , I must improve my centers

In short, my theory everybody can practise to be at least 2:00... Just as every body can be at least 20 sec average at the 3x3...

Congrats Erik.

 

[ExoCorsair]

Mark my words:


I WILL BEAT THIS!

Okay, good for you.

But I bet you'll get beaten again after you beat 1:16.
