One hand Rubik's Cube 37.55 seconds (PLL skip)

My first sub-60 second one hand solve. Very fast F2L. PLL skip. I don't have much practice. I set a 1 minute 49 second record long ago, after first learning how to solve the cube, and I believe after once I started doing intuitive F2L algorithms. Recently, however, since getting a sub-20 second non-lucky solve a couple of weeks ago, using almost full Fridrich, I decided to see how fast I could be with one hand. I would often play with the cube with one hand while on the phone, but never performing any specific algorithms since most of the moves are unnatural. One of my first attempts netted me a 1 minute 16 second time, then a 1 minute 6 second time. My goal was to get sub-60 seconds. I was very shocked and surprised at this time to get both a super fast F2L and a PLL skip with an OLL that I can actually perform. I screw up most OLL and PLLs since while I have muscle memory for 2 hands, when I slow down to think about it, I end up getting completely confused. The only thing that's bad about this solve is that I'm unlikely to best it any time soon. Enjoy! :)
