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.
Does the football need to be 2.125 inches tall (paper cut in half, then folded in half)? Or can it be folded more times than that? With a smaller football, it is pretty easy to get over 20 feet.
According to Guinness' guidelines, the paper must be cut in half exactly once and then folded. Although the number of half-cuts is not indicated on Record Setter, one half-cut is all one needs to achieve maximum distance, as any other amount of half-cuts will result in deficient distance.
So since this is now an official Guinness World Record does it make this record moot? I am working on beating it, but don't have the time or energy to get Guinness involved.
Was this denied because the goal posts weren't made by someone's hands? If yes, I would be open to evolving rules that state the goal posts must be made by hands to "goal posts must be a least three inches in height and no more than eight inches in width." If we did so, the record would belong to Ryan. Thoughts?
Wow 25 yards?!?!? Record it and submit it! That would be amazing to see. Of course I'm sure you meant feet becuase 25 yards is over 70ft and I dont think you could throw it that far let alone flick it.
Hey Dan, this is Andy. Your right this is a awesome video. If you guys want to change the criteria to where someone can use goal posts then that is fine with me, 5 inches would be about right for the width. Luckily for me when I done my attempt on this record my wife was around to hold the goal posts for me. I know that it makes it rough trying to do a record by yourself when you could use someone to help you out at times like in this record attempt haveing someone to make the goal post with their hands. So I have no problem with useing a goal post for this record attempt. Just as long as someone don't try to take down and use a set of goal posts that you'd see in a real football game!! lol! Congrats Emerson!! Awesome job on this record!!
Awesome video, Emerson. Our criteria, however, states that the posts must be made from someone's hands. Are people OK if revise criteria and instead say, "Goal posts may be no more than five inches wide"?

Rob Costa
Nevermind, just found out that you do not need a guinness official present to attempt to break a record. I will report back when/if I do it.
Kelley Parker
Hello Rob. Yes, it takes QUITE a bit of effort to go through the Guinness process. Good luck!

Did you practice for this and then edited ? Impressive if you got this in the first attempt.
Rob Costa

Jeff Williams
Cool, but I can thump a paper football over 25 yards and with a HIGH degree of accuracy - NO KIDDING. How far can YOU kick, Rob - or others??
