I think 8 feet is more of a loose guide, as long as there's enough movement to be considered "riding" rather than just standing. I think this attempt is fine, stepping off for traction/movement is perfectly suitable and still passes as "riding". Would be good to see in future all boards counted out and not modified or joined in any way.
A very valid point @Josh, I'm glad you've bought it up. It's bugged me for some time too. It's related to the moderation process which has been getting a good update so hope this is included in their discussion. I also think "fail" as a negative should be reserved for not following rules correctly - otherwise it might not be a world record it could still be a record based on age, gender, or nationality/location although not a world record... Timezone can also change "set time".
I think your other point though has bugged me a lot too "why would I stop short when clearly I can do better?" RecordSetter is about world records and striving for your personal best. If your submission wasn't your best attempt, then show me your best effort! Blow us away with a seemingly unreachable benchmark.
I understand this doesn't need to be consecutive, but I got 81 in 30 seconds in a very similar record, does this deny this record? http://recordsetter.com/world-record/consecutive-one-legged-jump-rope-jumps-thirty-seconds/4157
