    I looked at that time, and thought to myself...."why didn't I try that?" Then I watched Ken do it, and he definitely kept that hack aloft much longer than I would have ever been able to do it, so I apparently underestimated the time and difficulty. Excellent showing!

    Great documentation Ken. Congrats on the record!

    Neil: Thank you! My main hobby is freestyle footbag, aka advanced hackysack. Given how good you are at hack, I think you should give it a try too. Check out footbag dot org and modified dot in. That's a good starting point for finding players in your area, and getting good. Here's a video of footbag: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6YlRwnqq6k

    You have now broken BOTH of my hacky sacking records!! How are you so good!?

    Looks like just a gray ball to me. You already proved you cheat in the nose hair and blowing the pen over. I wouldn't doubt you did here. Jason at least showed that tape was used.

  • United States Neil Moallem

    Actually none of the previous holders show that their ball was made of duct tape. Jason Sletten may have peeled a minuscule piece of tape off but that doesn't mean his entire ball was made of duct tape. My ball is 100% duct tape, you can be sure of that. Just look at it closely and you will be able to tell

    Neil you did fine by me. Congrats! Go Illinois!

    I don't think this video shows clearly that duct tape was the only material used, or if it was even used. The 22 second video does

  • The Internet Devin Ehrich

    yeah neil doesnt show that the ball is duct tape like Jason did
