Longest Handstand (Male)

Gord Beast held a freestanding handstand for a staggering 35 minutes and 52 seconds, obliterating the previous RecordSetter mark of 12 minutes and 8 seconds.

Gord's attempt, captured in a single unedited video, nearly doubles that. No wall, no support, just hands on the ground and full vertical hold for over half an hour.
