Tent World Records

Using deft moves and kangaroo-like jumping ability, Rob Birdsong sets a new universal record with 11 tent circulations in one minute. Each circulation consisted of Rob entering the tent from one side door, exiting through the other side door, and then jumping over the tent back to his starting position. The record was set on December 14, 2008 at Birdsong’s apartment in Brooklyn, New York. Ryan Brown and Schuyler Van Horn witnessed and documented the feat.
