Matt Rishel completed 20 black marker tapping sets between his fingers
in 30 seconds.
Stride’s setting 100 records in 100 days. At the end of 100 days, we’ll
verify if you are the standing Record Holder. If you are, you’ll get
$500 for each record you managed to hold with your guile, talent, and
sheer will.
General caution and common sense required. We show the Stride Team at
work, but recommend that these challenges be done at home.

Like peter Craig suggested in previous posts - if peeps want to be sure just make sure theirs an analog clock in the video (than there's nothing to debate). :)

Guys, we did some Q/A testing on this in the office yesterday, because it looked doctored to us. Turns out its all about the angle of the camera and forward-backward motion of the hands. Furthermore Neil has shown zero signs of cheating during any of his several dozen world record attempts. Decision stands.

Guys, we actually re-enacted this in the office yesterday b/c at first we thought it might be sped up too - no offense Neil, just looked crazy fast - and we determined that since the hand holding the pen is coming toward (and away from) the camera it causes the blurring. Poor (or flat) depth of field is actually a pretty common thing with digital cameras - especially in still photography.

If you look at Matt Rishel's video you can see how fast one has to be able to do this to get 18 or 19 sets in 30 seconds. I have super quick hands but even I make mistakes (you can see noticeable pauses and the marks all over my hands). I guess playing video games HAS helped with something :)

If it were sped up, i'm sure his other arm would of been twitching out of control. I'm on Neil's side with this one. :I

either ur bruce lee or this vid is sped up
Neil Moallem
Ummmmm, obviously because it wasn't?
Carla Miller
How is this not considered "sped up"?
Neil Moallem
Just submitted 19, I think I can possibly do 20 if I don't make any errors

Just be careful Brian, there is a fine line between putting yourself in an uncomfortably painful or awkward setting for a record - and setting a record with un-necessary danger (why?) Just be careful friend. :)

I will do the stiletto knife blindfolded with a different record using the tapping technique above or maybe in a circle instead!
Brian Pankey
the 21 sets was a different record. going in a circle. as for the stiletto record I bled a lot that is also a different record
Noah Riffe
Mine :D JK I Will Will PWN you All
Vernon Frenzel
I don't see how this could result in a scam though. I would never use a knife for this xD Not that coordinated
Brian Pankey
13 sets from me. I also did one with 21 in 30 seconds going from finger to finger in a circle. Also did a record with a stiletto knife instead of a marker
Vernon Frenzel
How so, Brian? If you feel uncomfortable, make copies of terms and agreement and such ^-^
Brian Pankey
All these Stride records are starting to sound like a scam. Just wait none us will get paid if we win!
