Ok guys, something for you on a rainy day.
I can't do a big air video, yet, so here's some indoor skilzzz.

I know better than to post in here without a lid.:smilegrin::smilegrin:

:thumbup:Thats just wrong in many ways!!:thumbup:
I saw a blind guy in the hospital do that once. But he didn't really figure it out. It just liked to goof around with it!

Can't help but be impressed. I did notice that you kept the center blocks oriented the same way before and after every sequence. No way I could do it but interested in how you might pull it off. Oh, and your helmet wasn't buckled. SAFETY FIRST! :bouncy:

Memorization is the hardest part for me. Some people use the Roman Room method, some the story method, I've tried many and just break it up into chunks of sentences, characters and numbers to help remember where each piece is and then use algorithms to fix each piece without messing up the others.

Good eye there Bob.
You always keep the cube oriented the way you remembered it and put it back after each piece goes into place. Drop it or turn it wrong once and its all over.

I could have been killed from forgetting to buckle the helmet, thanks for bringing that to my attention. LOL

So its learning a piece by piece method then memorizing the cube before you start. No tricks or feeling anything.

Lots of people do it and use different methods.

There was no use in videoing the memory part, just wasted time looking at it. LOL

Oh and that pic in the avatar? taken from a video when the GF son was about to launch and I had to grab the kite for some reason. :smilegrin:

Sooooo no magic in either case? I was sure it was all magic. :no:
Still very cool no matter how you do it.
