Bert Hull
Awesome. congratulations to you both. very cool!
Alex Cunningham
Unbelievable.
Alex Cunningham
But really, Record of the Year nominee.
Corey Henderson
High Five is at around 5:15. Amazing job guys!
Pete Moyer
The requirement "- both participants must keep active hand raised for duration of feat" has seemed to be abandoned. Maybe we should do away with it or require something more specific like hand must be above shoulder height.
Tim Lewis
She was actually really embarrassed about this. We did an 8 mile high five and her hand was a lot higher for that one but one of our cameras died. We figured we would just put this up and see if it would be accepted instead of redoing it for a third time. I definitely understand the complaint though.
Nate Tower
The original is the best (and much more impressive). Those guys are really committed to the high five. They aren't just two runners out for a run.
Dan Rollman
I concur the quality may be a bit lower, but this is quality enough, in my opinion. They certainly embrace the spirit of "keeping hand up for duration of attempt" even if the hands don't stay as high as the original duo.
Dan Rollman
Amazing! Congrats to both of you. In fact, high five to both of you.
Craig Morrison
I can't believe I missed this, I didn't realize it had been broken again!
Corey Henderson
High five is at 22:40 and from the other angle around 46:00.
Damon Carpenter
?
Jon
Cool record.Great job.
Ryan Baran-maguire
the awkward moment if one of them was a lefty...
Kaitlyn Herzog
Can't imagine how much your arms hurt from holding them up for so long. Awesome and so worth it though!
Michael James
You know what would be horrible... If they ran all that way and they missed the high five
Mark S.
Hands are way below highfiving height :\ WEAK.
Joe Kidd
im gonner try and break it
James Trotter
challenge accepted
Caitlyn Simpson
I wanna try this...I don't care if people think I'm weird xD I love standing out in the crowd :D So going to try this when it warms up, possibly 5 miles :D
Thalia Rieth
people must think there weird walking down the street with there hands raised.
Andy Shick
Would have been hilarious if they missed at the end.
Dan Rollman
Peter We spoke to the Ace Burpee guys, but they never submitted. Now that it's been broken, I don't think we need to go back and retroactively push for their submission.
Dave Thompson
Hey Kelsie, Matt and I welcome all comers...though the record may be held by Ben
Emily Miethner
Woooah Kelsie. Big words! Hope we see a record from you soon!
Kelsie Lynch
Awesome guys! But me and my friend are planning on beating this, possibly double the distance. XD
Peter Craig
hmmmm... I foudn this interesting clip - I wonder what the process should be, as this video was posted to YouTube in April 2010 claiming 5km, invalidating Dave and Matt's initial attempt? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWKz0orSfqk
Was this record never posted to the site?
Peter Craig
Jensen, I've thought of the same method to get better distance - but I think this would have to come under some kind of variation because it means the distance can be better calculated to the upper limit of both runners/walkers. The beauty of defining a distance from the start is that the record is set from the start and the trail is towards each other without overlapping the path towards each other - otherwise you could both keep running as far as comfortable which takes a bit away from the idea...
Jensen Martin
Can you run a track opposite directions, and pass one another up 6 times? that would make 2 and a half miles? Correct?
JN2
That's 1.5 miles per person. So 3.
Alex Juan
I used to be able to do this until i took an arrow to the knee=(
JN2
Ouch...
Dakota Wright
I think the originals were the only ones to blow up an entire city in their attempt at this world record, everyone else needs to step it up.
Corey Zapin
Imagine they missed
The Fireduck
yes chuck its me its can
philip robinson
no chuck its you its not
The Fireduck
The Fireduck is intrigued.
Chuck Weber
Is it me, or is the actual touching of the hands out of frame? Sorry guys, very clever concept and all, but I don't see the "Money Shot"
Louis Singleton-Knott
like the cake going on in the background
Kyle Lopez
rich, peter... that made me laugh
Peter Craig
You know what one of them should have done? Moved their hand away at the last second and said "Too slow"... that would suck if after all that you missed :)
Isabelle Oleszko
Sorry guys but i'm going to break it! Really good job though!
Dan Rollman
Holy cow! Massive congrats to Ben and Kia. Color me impressed.
Ben Jenkins
Billy - I threw the video together pretty fast. I just wanted to get it up here. If we ever have to defend our record, we'll definitely use "The Distance".
Billy Disney
Nice! But I've gotta say, if you were going to use a Cake song, why wouldn't it be "The Distance"?
Craig Morrison
Dave - you'll see soon enough
Dave Thompson
COngratulations guys, well deserved. How can anyone possibly beat that???
Matthew Kelly
Nice one guys! Never thought I'd see the day.
Peter Craig
Yeah I can see the hand holding and running is the key to the feat. I was going to do it with my brother... maybe we still could - although it's edging too far past legendary to even attempt... would love to see it taken back, look forward to it!
BenThompson
Hells yeah!!!! Keep up the record beating!
Craig Morrison
It wasn't part of our original criteria. The real feat of holding your hand up and running the distance remains the same.
I vote the record stands.
Peter Craig
awesome effort, go the Aussies! But Dan I think you're on to something at 3:29 there's a mid-high five. Is this enough grounds to invalidate the effort? Or does the high five count only from that moment...
Ella Morton
I have never been prouder to be Australian.
Dan Leatherman
Just for the sake of argument, because one of them gave a high-five to someone on the way, does the 4.2 kilometers actually stand?
Sam Stilson
Great job guys! Awesome video.
But now you've started something you can't stop... we'll get this one back.
Dan Leatherman
This record still gets me every time.
Daniel Sokolov
I'm gonna try to beat you guys, so watch out!
Steve Schlacker
LOL classic! Now that's a high quality high five!
