Official Rubiks Cube PR: 7.27 seconds Lucas Garron 2018-07-22 | My first official personal record since Halloween Open 2010!(When I was 11th in the world.)This solve had lots of easy steps, but no skips – and it had a G-perm.(And also the same CLS as my 10.00 at SF Open 2009.)Reconstruction: alg.cubing.net/?alg=y2_L2-_D_R-_y-_U-_R_U_R-_D-_%2F%2F_X%26%2345%3BCross%0Ay-_R_U_R-_L_U-_L-_%2F%2F_Slot_2%0AU-_R_U_R-_%2F%2F_Slot_3%0AU_L_F-_L-_F_%2F%2F_ELS%0Ay-_U-_R2_U_R-_U_R_U2-_R-_U_R-_%2F%2F_CLS%0AR-_U-_R_(U_D-)_R2_U_R-_U_R_U-_R_U-_R2-_(U-_D)_y_%2F%2F_PLL&type=reconstruction-end-with-setup&title=Lucas%20Garron,%207.27s%0AEuropean%20Championship%202018&view=playbackI believe the cube is a Moyu GTS3 M. I don't normally use stickerless cubes, but I bought a few of these for a steep discount, and this was the best cube I had on hand!

Baroo Coast – Star Wars Ep. I Racer (2018 HD Re-Release) Lucas Garron 2018-05-27 | Racing with Anakin's racer from the start of the game – no upgrades. I'm still learning to drift through tight turns, which is definitely needed to win in this scenario.I won this race after a whole bunch of tries, but I had a frustrating crash near the end. The margin of victory was 0.07 seconds!This is one of my favorite games ever, and I've spent a lot of time trying to get it to run in virtual machines of old Windows versions. But out of nowhere, GOG just re-released this game 19 years after the original release, and it fixes all those bugs!Even nicer, it also runs at HD resolution (1080p60), although only some of the textures have been updated for this resolution.gog.com/game/star_wars_episode_i_racer

PLL Time Attack: 31.42 seconds Lucas Garron 2017-08-07 | I put my new Rubik's GAN collaboration cube to the test. I can't turn it quite as *fast* as all my other cubes, but it is very reliable for preventing bad lockups – which is exactly what a PLL time attack tests.I *believe* this is my personal record for a PLL time attack.I did 32.68 last year: youtube.com/watch?v=wiwmHdt7LMA
