@Amber-Leigh Hoops may be 30" to 44" in diameter. I adjusted the rules to mark it.
Amber Leigh Buckwald
What is considered to be the "standard size" for a hula hoop in order to attempt this stuff? I can't find it anywhere.
Ariel Danielle
Obviously there's a lot of jealous keyboard warriors here. You can clearly see the hoops fully separate from one another more than once in just the first half of the video. Way to go ladybug!
Lindsey Savage
Music that is deejayed isn't copyrighted like other music that you purchase on an album is, it's allowed to be redistributed, remixed and remastered at a whim because you purchase each track via www.beatport.com for said purposes. If necessary, I can have my boyfriend provide purchase receipts for each track he remixed in the background including the producer name and track title to confirm fair use rights.
I would be perfectly alright if the entire video was muted to be re-used, as well as my other submissions on a different video. What stands is that I without a shadow of a doubt, without cheating and taping the hoops together, BEAT this record fair and square. I had no control over if my boyfriend decided to play music in the background and would take it back if i could, but can PROVE that his music is fair use.

In Lindsey's Video there is definitely music in the background which is definitely against the rules. It clearly says that no copyrighted material may be allowed in the video and several other videos have been denied because of that exact reason. For fairness reasons you must treat this video as you have others. Otherwise, it is discriminatory.
Rob Birdsong
@Alex we denied this attempt because there are several times during the attempt when the watermelon is not above your head.
Dustin Barker
lol..u can hear the tape. thats funny
Alex Kitral
Not that it matters, cause I'm going to beat it anyways, but I know hula hoops better than most, and those hoops are definitely taped together. You can even hear the tape crinkling as he hoops. I call shenanigans...
Lindsey Savage
Thank you so much Dan! :)

When is the last day that this record can be broken? Is it 100 days from when it was originally broken or is the entire competition only for 100 days.
Rob Birdsong
We've reviewed this several times now, decision stands.
Neil Moallem
He actually separates the hoops at the beginning
Jeff P
im not trying to be that guy who critizes but the hoops seem to be taped together and the video is cut short to hide the fact that when the hoops fall they do not separate
Lindsey Savage
Yeah ok, whatever. For the sake of validity it should have to be a whole watermelon. Knock the sand out of your panties and get over it... I'm just stating what any legitimate record breaker would have to abide by in this specific competition. Have fun!
Cody Owens
also, at the end of the vid, you'll notice I stop from my arms being tired. I don't have any trouble with the hoop. BOOM ROASTED!!
Cody Owens
not the case Lindsey. I dropped it on the second take and cracked it. No worries though... I'll love seeing you eat some crow when I post a longer vid with a new melon. btw, how many records do you hold??

Lindsey Savage
He emptied the watermelon and taped it back together... That should definitely be considered cheating.
Sarah Jay
So... can the watermelon touch the head since that is still above the head?
