Well, we tried (and admittedly failed) to set a new world record at Falmouth 2 of the worlds highest diabolo throw...

So I thought we could try something this time round as well...
Preferably not diabolo height, and probably not an official world record (which the diabolo throw would've been had we not done so late in the day, what with everyone being quite "tired"...)

Any suggestions?

Mine are:
Most number of spinners in a co-ordinated routine
Most number of poi spun at one time by one person (hey, 2bags is coming...)
Most number of naked fire spinners
Biggest simaltaneous staff burn off (with the wind behind us!)
Most number of people playing "Jump the fire rope dart"
Largest "jazz cigarette" shared by the most people

Pick one you like or come up with your own - everyone likes a challenge
Plus it'll be filmed for posterity, although not by me or it'll never get made into a video (e.g. HoP/Pip video)

Good ideas Durbs - although im not so sure nakedness is the best thing for march weather ......... saying that, Frodos coming

The staff burnoff would be fun & would take less organising / concentration

What about most fire kit carried by one person from the beach to the place of sleep - excluding myself of course

most numer of spinners in a coordinated routine means we will need well over 600 to beat the coreographed routine just before the burn at burningman last year. don't think falmouth can pull that off.

I haven't seen more than about 10 naked spinners at once - but I know nothing of the rest of the world's experience with such things.

your last one is going to have some serious contention from certain jamaican groups as well you know...

well, I've personally seen over 100 on the simultaneous skinny dip thing too, plus you aren't real likely to se a Texas boy such as myself getting into cold UK water at any time of the year!

well, Mr vanize, you are posting on a HoP thread, and you should've got that by now most HoPper's aren't sane...

As they spin? It may be a tad difficult to get vanize to stay still for more than a second while he's spinning. His legs move just as much as his arms and hands.

Without meaning to be the voice of Doom here or anything (the official voice of doom is currently busy elsewhere) I believe that in order for it to count as a world record you have to have independant (and this is the kicker) trustworthy judges/witnesses to verify that it occurred etc.


Otherwise you'll just be a lot of sooty spinners on a beach doing daft things....


Ah...
I'm not going to continue with that line of thought.
