We think only a record holder can know what you go through to set a record, so we only let people that
have already set world records downvote other people's records.
What can I do?
Go set a record! If you can think of it, you can set a new world record for it.
@Vernon We reviewed both attempts. To your points, I wouldn't say the camera person "helps" the attempt. The color of gum is a non-factor. @Thomas's suggested rule that the person must take the gum from wrapper and chew it on camera is a good one, but since we didn't include it, it's impossible to objectively accept your gum as "one piece" and theirs as "more than one piece."
In your attempt, there are issues, also. We can barely see the piece of gum in the second half of the video.
This is a tough category and I feel your pain, but our decision stands.
And second on the point below, they stated @1:52 that "It broke" is there no telling that he skipped back a few feet? This would of been more avoided if the entire stretch was shown along with both kids being in frame the entire video... So yea, please review. My main problem is with the gum. That's clearly more than one piece. I'm sure other would agree. Thank you.
Second- May be taking this one to technical, but "Must document entire stretch on video". In my video, we can see both of us the entire time, and I also pointed out where you can see the final snap. @1:51 brings me two criteria questions, he lifts the gum so: "Only two people may stretch gum." Is broke because as you can hear previously, it was falling so the camera guy did help making it 3 people.
I'd really like for the recordesetter team to review this one please. Here are my arguments: One would be the first obvious one which is the fact that more than one piece of gum was used. Unless i can be shown a bubble gum piece big enough to be stretched to that length that is green, that there has to be more than one piece here. Most people know the great stretchy gums to be bubble gum pink, so i mean, before you completely give this to them, i think it's fair that we know what gum was used. I told recordsetter what type of gum I used so they can see that one piece is infact that big.
You don't sound like a douche bro, I don't believe it either. the 212 one we did was pretty lucky, cause at most times we couldn't get past 10 feet. I'd also like to know what kind of gum was used. No offence to stride, but if that's like a stride piece, there's no way they got almost 50 feet. But, i didn't get a response to my post. So yea...
Sorry but that definitely looked like more than 1 piece of gum. They should have a rule that states "Must open new pack of gum and show proof that it is 1 piece." In the video he's already chewing a piece of gum. Who's to say they didn't cheat? Sorry don't mean to sound like a douche or anything!
My view: Though they did do the entire stretch, how is there evidence that more than one piece of gum wasn't used. Neither one of the two were in frame the entire time. Zooming in poking the gum several times maybe gave time for one of the two to reattach? My two cents. We'll be trying this one again. :)
I tried going to feedback, but link is messed up. Ya'll should explain why attempts are denied. I.E. whether ya'll think there was one or more piece, or more accurate measurements. I'll give it another try in a less windy environment though ^-^

It works now ^-^ I assume it was just under construction.
