World's Longest Manual

ive been seeing and awesome outcry on facebook about it all day

Some of those records are hilarious!

Love that he padded up for it

embarrassing.....

The funniest thing is the morons who take it seriously, and get all offended by it! LMAO at some of the comments on there. It's kinda pinkbikeish.

when will the record be broken and how long will the manual be? miles?

Well, since it's on FLAT GROUND, you'd need a perpetual motion bike to get miles out of it....

I figured it would be on a slightly sloping road....

that's probably the point of the record......flat ground manual. Hard to say though since the dude is in florida.

I'm sure that manual Elf let rip at the begining of Thunder was longer: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7642045646966211441# and that was back in '97 I'm sure there is someone that can do it for a mile or so now depending on pitch but the flat ground thing must be the point like kidwoo said. Funny, I think even I could have beat the old 334' record.

That was both the least exciting MTB vid I have seen and one of the worst thank you speeches ever caught on camera.

and i'm sure ridemonkey holds the title for worlds longest derailed thread

What, you thought all those "ummm's" were eloquent?

it was a reference to a certain miss usa pageant that the interview reminded me of...

I like the 13 foot wheelie drop record. I guess I am world record material after all!

8 days 3 hours 11 minutes to ride across America is pretty impressive, though.

What about old Bobby Root manuals from NWDs? I thought they were much much longer. Or does the record only take flat ground into consideration?

Yes flat ground is key

remember when NWD showed clips of riders with tires on the ground.

****ing guiness book of world records More like "guiness book of worthless **** with a few interesting records"

Sure it's not flat ground, but Dave Voelker's long ass manual in the film "Lord Voelker" is miles long down some hill near san diego at 40+ mph. Edwin de la rosa did the whole brooklyn bridge in one of the Animal vids at least 5 years ago.
