So I just started doing eli hops and was wondering whats the most you have landed.
I can only get around 6 atm before my nth pointer starts to get rope burn and almost spontaniously combust.
The -actual- record is 132, set by Paul Kerbel at the World Yo-Yo Contest last August.
This surpassed Dave Schulte’s long standing record of 120 set in 2005.
All official records can be found on the Ayya.net website… click on World Records on the left side of the page, then click on the World Record database link… there you can search for all sorts of records.
My personal best? just over 100 or so… but I can’t say I try it too often.
Mickey’s record is all speed. Max Eli Hops in 30 seconds, he could have gone longer, but I guess the rule was set at 30. As Kyo said, Paul Kerbel has the record for most consecutive eli hops.
Guiness records are not regarded as the official records in the yo-yo world… they have a lot of ridiculous rules and regulations and don’t recognize really any of the records we track. They’re really more of an novelty than anything these days…
