Guinness World Record attempt

["The Godless"]

20 judges and 3 cameras. I jumped through all the hoops. Submitting the evidence this week! I did it and everyone there witnessed it but Alan is right, their record-their rules! Time will tell.

I hope so too...they are a bit difficult aren't they?

I guess. Their Records, their rules.

I have no doubts he did it, but GBWR has to accept it by their standards.

Several people have actually punched for many many hours to set the record, only to be denied for one reason or the other.

Heather Gullick was recognized on her second attempt. I don't know how Luke kept records or submitted them.

I hope Frank is recognized as "official".

I thought you all knew about this... Matthew was there doing a punchdrumming demo. Looks like he did it:

I would have attended, but had prior commitments...Congrats Frank!

Says here he did it,

Woodstock resident sets Guinness record in speed bag session at 40 hours

Need to have Guinness recognize it as official. I hope they do!

I believe Luke Nietsch from Canada, who punched 30hrs and 23 minutes (or something like that) back in 2015 is still waiting on confirmation. He came to the 2015 gathering shortly after breaking the old one.

He's a former drummer; maybe he sneak in some punch drumming!

Can't do it, Biff. Apparently "the record" has to be hitting from the front in triplet rhythm only. no elbows, reverse punching etc. Other record attempts were invalid because of that.

48 hours? That's a LONG friggen time. I couldn't even stay awake that long.

Trying to break Heather's record eh?
