@Brian here is the full video of what my webcam got. shows there is nothing above the notebook. http://ge.tt/8mqfXg8
Dan Rollman
@Ted If your video won't upload on our site, upload the video using ge.tt and email the link to rob at recordsetter dot com. Make sure to send by 11:59 pm EDT tonight.
Ted Tracy
Hey i want to use that Ge.tt website too. When you uploaded, did you put the link in the youtube box thingy?
Ted Tracy
34.44...
Ted Tracy
so what was your longest run?
Brian Pankey
what I meant to say it look like it was cut at the end you can see the right hand corner at 4:07 mark
Brian Pankey
Watching the pending video of Ted's it looks like it has been cut. Not judging it is just my opinion. I am a peaceful person!
Brian Pankey
also looking at the cell for the time could of been considered cheating although he did not touch the binder. So everything looks fine for that
Brian Pankey
the time says 4 minutes but the analog clock says around 40 minutes. Was this sped up?
Brian Pankey
I just watched this vid Ted. You can't see the top of the binder. I believe you didn't cheat or anything it is just I wished to see the whole entire balance
Ted Tracy
so what do you got Brian?
Dan Rollman
@Ted It's permissible for the binder to be slightly open.
Ted Tracy
I am confused about this, he has it slightly open which makes it so easy. If that is the case it changes the strategy entirely.
Brian Pankey
I actually broke this Alyjha but I am waiting till the last day to submit it so no one knows my time
Alyjha Williams
this record is all about you two who will win it!
Brian Pankey
congrats Benjamin. The best part of this record is you actually wore a shirt this time thank goodness!
Brian Pankey
thanks for not denying this
Brian Pankey
Thank You Vernon
Vernon Frenzel
Great job, Brian. :D
Dan Rollman
Note to all: the last thing we want is to have to moderate comments within our site and delete offensive comments. I encourage everyone to keep dialogue focused on constructive criticism, legitimate feedback, and compliments/taunts that stay far away from slurs and accusations. We're here to collectively raise the bar of what mankind can do. Onwards and upwards, Dan
Ma-Ann B.
very well said Darryl :)
Brian Pankey
I just did it standing up are you people happy now. submitting it in a few minutes!
Darryl Learie
There is no room for fighting between record breakers, a true record breaker should always remain humble at most, for all you know some unknown guy could join this site tomorrow and balance the binder on his head for over an hour ! You should all look to each-other as raising the bar, and thus further challenging you to make the record - not enemies to eliminate. Both records are damn impressive; 15:44 sitting down, 11:34 standing up - I cant do this for 10 seconds. So Brian if your going to do this, than do it - and if you didn't do it - it just means you didn't do it (and leave it at that). I don't know why you guys can not appreciate all the skills that you are all bringing to the table - and practice a little complimenting one-another. (just my thoughts)
Jennifer Wark
Brian, it looks like you are seated here -- the criteria is that you need to be standing without external support.
Vernon Frenzel
You were sitting :/ "Must stand without external support for duration of attempt" That's my guess.
Brian Pankey
15:44.73 why? why? why?
Brian Pankey
I'm going to smash my computer with a sledgehammer now 15:44.73
Brian Pankey
15:44.73 why denied?
Brian Pankey
followed rules! 15:44.73
Brian Pankey
15:44.73 yet denied
Ma-Ann B.
Brian, I don't hate you. It's just that we have to stick with the criteria. If you see the last criteria clearly states that you must stand for the whole duration of your attempt. I'm pretty sure you can do longer than this standing up so I encourage you to give it another try
Brian Pankey
Ma-ann why do you hate me?
Brian Pankey
Jennifer why hate me
Brian Pankey
Emily why hate me!
Brian Pankey
Dan why hate me!

Brian Pankey

Brian Pankey
Dear Dan Ben had his binder open in the back also! So I don't know why you denied me!
Alex Cunningham
...What on Earth just happened...
Brian Pankey
@Vernon thank you for every word you said. I should be a better role model for people. I hope you win some money Vernon. I wish you the best!
Brian Pankey
Good luck with all your Stride records Jeff I wish you well!
Brian Pankey
The reason I went after you Jeff was you first went after me about the coffee mug slide saying I cheated but that is all good for now. I wish you the best Jeff but your wrong I do inspire a lot of people
Brian Pankey
I wish you the best Benjamin! Hope you win some money!
Jeff P
I was exaggerating the banning thing just because brian would not stop with the rediculous comments and honestly ben is right if i wanted to i could create 1600 records and break 100 or whatever you did and while its impressive that you hold so many records its just a website and no one insulted you and not to be mean but i dont think anyone cares if your on ustream or dan rollman made a video about you or if you were #5. relax
Benjamin Gross
Im not denying that some of your records are rather impressive im just saying you "create" more then you "brake". and throwing your accomplishment out online makes you look rather small and not a well received part of your image that you should be trying to uphold. And i never tried to insult you you insulted me over and over. all i wanted was for you to accept that i beat your previous record.....Also you assume, accuse, and insult more then anything else in these comments....but unlike jeff i don't think you should be banned you should just have better sportsmanship when it comes to losing at something.
Brian Pankey
@Ben when you start doing record setting Ustream events then you can insult me - http://youtu.be/FgTPTC8svMg
Brian Pankey
@Jeff when your in BusinessWeek magazine then you can insult me - http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/1114/b4222093317610page_2.htm

@Benjamin when you can balance a 10 speed vertically on your forehead for almost 3 minutes then you can insult me http://recordsetter.com/world-record/balance-bicycle-forehead/2881
Brian Pankey
@Jeff mine was #5
Brian Pankey
@Jeff when you make it on a list of best world records of the year than you can insult me mine was at number of 2010 best world records list http://awesomeworldrecords.com/
Vernon Frenzel
I agree that Brian brought me to this site. No language should of been said at all, and i'm not even the adult and i'm saying that. I do agree with one point, It doesn't look like a 1/2 inch binder, but if it legit to the recordsetter crew, than it's legit. I've noticed on almost every record there's always someone saying so and so is cheating because they're using honey as liquid, or glossy paper. Money changes peeps...
Brian Pankey
@Jeff this proves I am the pioneer of this site. This was May 2010 http://youtu.be/SMFoOD5a9ZM
Jeff P
thanks for agreeing benjamin it is most definately a racial slur
Brian Pankey
I'm white myself Benjamin how is that racist. Thank you for serving our Country!
Benjamin Gross
white trash is a racist slur lol
Brian Pankey
I hate racism!
Brian Pankey
first off Jeff I did not say anything racist
Jeff P
for some reason i really doubt that
Brian Pankey
I am the pioneer of this site you wouldn't ban Dj Kool Herc or Run DMC for making rap mainstream than why ban me I did the same for this site. My loyalty alone proves that
Brian Pankey
Ban Me! I brought 10 of thousands of people to this site
Brian Pankey
I never cheated on anything! recordsetter knows this!
Brian Pankey
It's a free country for freedom of speech! so thanks for fighting I support the troops!
Jeff P
brian pankey needs to chill out first its just a record and there should be some kind of punishment for him for cursing and using racial slurs this is not the site to do it on... BAN BRIAN PANKEY
Benjamin Gross
I am pretty sure making a death threat is an illegal act especially against a soldier....lol might wanna watch that :)....don't think they owe you by cheating for you
Brian Pankey
Dan Rollman won't defend me for all I did for this site! You all owe me!
Brian Pankey
I see recordsetter won't defend me so f*ck all of you people!
Brian Pankey
Benjamin in the early post you said I stole records by making variations. All of mine I created
Brian Pankey
I opened more categories than anyone
Brian Pankey
I started this site
Brian Pankey
yes I did break 1700 records
Benjamin Gross
haha im doing this competition for stride maybe after break a few but not gonna comsume my life with it....i prolly could....its not like you have "broke" 1700 records from what i saw is you just make up records based on variations of others records....no need to become racist here...N2RD R4GE....GOML....I
Brian Pankey
Benjamin = pure garbage
Brian Pankey
break 1700 records Benjamin
Brian Pankey
go on
Brian Pankey
If you good at everything Benjamin go on
Brian Pankey
I just did it 15 minutes while seated just to prove my point Benjamin! Benjamin your white trash
Benjamin Gross
then do it i welcome a good competition....a "pro balancer" lol....well i am one of those ppl who is good at everything i wanna do so if im better then "pros" it does not surprise me lol..any of my friends can tell you that....I
Brian Pankey
Mine was not open in the back if it was I could go on for a long time!
Brian Pankey
If Doug or anyone else that are pro balancers did this I would not question them but Benjamin I question this video is fake!
Benjamin Gross
defiantly a 1/2 in. binder lol....you cant even keep your stories straight....its allowed to be open in the back....and once again I
Brian Pankey
again your a cheat Benjamin!
Brian Pankey
I could go on but basically your a cheat Benjamin!
Brian Pankey
the binder Benjamin used was a one inch not a half inch also making it easier
Brian Pankey
I'm not a sore loser you cheated benjamin plus the binder was open in the back making it easier
Rob Birdsong
Brian the binder looks empty to me, and from what I can tell the binder is not up against the wall. What section (time wise) of the video are you talking about?
Benjamin Gross
binder was empty....you can see that at the beginning at 00:10ish and at the end at 11:56ish.....also it was never against the wall please tell me the time when it was? you can see my shadow AND the binders shadow on the wall the whole time clearly indicating that i am clearly not against it lol....not to mention at the end when im losing the balance and turn.....stop being a sore loser...I
Brian Pankey
this site is pathetic!
Brian Pankey
Deny this now!
Brian Pankey
Deny this record he did not follow guidelines. binder was against wall also
Brian Pankey
your a liar Benjamin. The binder was not empty. it was open in the back
Benjamin Gross
FYI I just said i was gonna do it....and it didn't "take me 5 years"...more like 5 trys lol
Darryl Learie
I love it Brian - you really showed those Stride Marketer's something else, 9 seconds to 11 minutes (that's just worlds apart) - I am so rooting for you on the Stride - you deserve to earn some money ;)
Brian Pankey
Thanks recordsetter for verifying this. I know you are really busy. Much respect!
Brian Pankey
my 11 minute record was done on the same day. Still pending!
Brian Pankey
My 11 minute record puts this 3:33 one to shame!
J C
oooooooooo thnx guys
Brian Pankey
they were verifying records at 7pm est
Brian Pankey
@Jesstin I have been to their office in NY
Alex Cunningham
I don't know if they have hours, but they usually only update records on weekdays. On weekdays you can get records evaulated usualy within an hour.
J C
do you guys know what hours they evaluate these.....do they do it round clock or do they just do 9-5.....just askin lol
Brian Pankey
LOL Alex. This is up now to watch on the recordsetter facebook page
Alex Cunningham
I would like to dispute this. This was too obviously made for Brian.
Brian Pankey
just went for over 11 minutes. submitting it now!
Brian Pankey
I did over 3 minutes on my first attempt. Will try to go for 10 minutes tomorrow!
Kenneth Evans
Does it have to be a 1/2 inch binder or can it be bigger?
Brian Pankey
I will break this!
