There's a world record for walking with a ball on your head. Who knew?

http://www.bdnews24.com/details.php?id=216760&cid=5

The current record is nearly 10 miles. I'd estimate at my ball on head walking pace it would take me around 3 and half to 4 hours to cover. I think the most I've managed before now was about 3 miles, but I stopped out of boredom more than anything else.

Tempting...

Was he at the EJC last year? I don't know the name of the guy who won headstall gladiators, but I think he was from South America, and could move darn quick!

With that said, you can beat it iMark!

It would be an achievement for me to walk 10 miles with a ball in my pocket.

I don't know... =/
But he's from Peru, i guess, now he lives in Florianópolis, SC, Brazil.
But we don't talk to each other often. actually, the last time I saw him was on our national convention in november 2011. But I'll probably see him this year again...
It can be him, he was really good at headstall gladiators too.

Is there a record for a steadycam operator walking alongside the chap with a ball on his head yet? It's a record I've been wanting to set for ages :wink:
