Hey Peter, have you seen my newly introduced record for most weight suspended by fingertips? it was directly inspired by both you, and Brian competing on most books held in 1 hand - let me know if you like the new category. :)
Dan Leatherman
Peter, this is awesome!
Darryl Learie
Well done. :D
Brian Pankey
done a lot more rola bola records on the weekend. Peter should have 707 once verified
Peter Craig
I think you're on to something there @Dan :)
Dan Rollman
You need to find some rola bola records somewhere? Um, here's a good starting point: http://urdb.org/user/BrianPankey

Thanks Dan! Now I need to try and find some Rola Bola records somewhere... I think someone should post a rola bola record for me to beat... :) I added a sped up "out take" at the end of this clip of my first attempt - the camera fell off the tripod :)
Dan Rollman
Well done, Peter! The homemade rola bola is looking sweet.
Brian Pankey
I would like to break this if I had more books. well done Peter!
Peter Craig
I've beaten this one for you Brian, I couldn't resist - although your feat still appears more impressive due to the size of your books. I went the technical route and used books of consistent/lightweight each with exactly 100 pages which made it a little easier...
Brian Pankey
this should be on the front page!

took Simon's idea
