Breaking the world DDR record 40 HOURS !!!!!!!

[Reloaded972]

Well, it seems Guiness sent me the wrong guidelines. They sent me "Dancing Marathon" instead of "Dance Machine Marathon." So I'm just going to wing it off of what I know and see if it works. $700 in pledges so far, almost halfway there

[d-r3k]

ok all you stupid faggets that think they are so hot at ddr and can play forever.. stfu please no one cares i asked for posts about tips not flames you stupid jews... as for how hard it is who cares because you are to gay to ever have goals and the motavation to try something this hard. "omg its soooooo easy" wow stfu and go try it once you frick fags wow

[Zukin-Man]

Whoa. Easy there, turbo. I don't see any flames, just different views on how easy/hard this would be. Relax, and try again, young grasshopper.

[d-r3k]

i just get pissed off at all these guys that arent attempting the record never have never will. Say something consturctive not something that could be taken as flame

[wingzerogundamepyon]

I love how this topic seems to pop up every couple months with someone and their "omg hay guyz I'm gonna didder for 328976890370 hours and be all 1337 and stuff cuz I'm going to break a world record so you all stfu"

In reality, if this record was really anything worth trying to break, some ultra endurance marathon runner or something would learn how to play beginner and go for like 10 days straight, big whup.

Not trying to steal your thunder, good luck and all, but don't act like the world is going to owe you something for doing this...you're talking about prancing around on some pretty arrows for 40 hours to step patterns my 5 year old cousin can do

Have Fun

It's good to know some people are listening out there

over $800 in pledges if I hit 40 hrs!!

[Verified]

nice work, I know I probably couldn't do 40 hours. Either tiredness or ADD would kick in first. Probably ADD. Since I quit light mode on endless about an hour ago, only a half hour of game play.. I was bored. ANYWAY. I did have a question. How is the owner of the machine taking it? your occupying the machine for 40 hours?

First Off, I would like to say to those idiots that think this isn't as hard as it sounds... What the hell is wrong with you anyway? This guy is trying to do something to HELP PEOPLE!

To the guy who is trying:

Best of wishes to you. It's going to be hell... I tried playing for five hours non-stop just to see how it was, so I know 40 hours is going to be hell. If I had any money to give out, I'd give it just for attempting(but seeing as I am a poor bastard, I can't).

Good Luck.

First off,

Good luck man, I hope you raise the money to bring your friend back from Russia next summer

Second,

Ignore the dumbasses who keep saying stuff about beginners mode and all that crap and how easy it is, let them try it themselves

[Reloaded972]

I typed this up and am planning on keeping a printout of this next to a donations jar there during the whole event so visitors can read. Please feel free to give any comments or suggestions to change it, or if i should take a different approach if at all. This is my first draft, so go easy.

Maybe some of you will also realize what I'm doing this for

What this fundraiser is for…
Written by Keith Floresca

Unlike many world record attempts that along with the attempt, money is raised for a charitable cause, this is primarily a fundraiser with the world record being the second goal. All money raised will go to Erin Schroeder and her family.

If you don’t know the Schroeder family, they left March of 2004 to go on a long missionary. They are currently living in Moscow, Russia spreading Christianity to the far reaches of the world. Since then, they have found an apartment, met many acquaintances, recovered from jet lag, and adjusted do the different culture, but they have never broken their bonds with their friends here. Through means of e-mail, middlemen already going to Russia, online articles, and hopefully in the near future, calling cards, we here have been able to keep in touch with them and get a little taste of Russia.

Erin wishes to come back next summer to visit all of us in the United States next summer (2005). Their budget is tight, and from what I’ve last heard they’re falling behind $250 a month. Getting a roundtrip plane ticket between Russia and America would be hard for them. Before they left, I made a promise to Erin that I would find a way to raise money for her plane ticket, and this pathway just fell through. Like stated in the beginning: this is a fundraiser first, and a world record attempt second.


The plane tickets vary around $1000, but my goal is to raise at least $1500 in pledges and donations. This will ensure that there is enough money to buy a plane ticket if she can come back next summer, and give a little extra for her travel expenses. It is not 100% sure that Erin can come back next summer, even if we raise the money for her to. Our goal here is to make sure that money is not the determining factor for her return. If a trip to the United States in not possible next summer, the money will still go to support Erin and her family.

More info about the Schroeder’s mission can be found at www.RussianJourney.net


Feel free to ask me any more questions if you would like, but I’m not sure how much I can answer during the later part of this event because sleep deprivation might be getting to me


Thank you for your donations!!!

This is no BS. I'm well aware of Revelations 21:8 and I wish that some of you were too.

Oh and I was also planning on having a personal info sheet about me and Derek so that people would know what kind of people are doing the event. For the same reasons, I really dont know how I'll be with 40 hrs sleep deprivation. I can post that up too, if you like, or just e-mail me at [email protected] if you're really interested.

Thanks a bunch for all those supporters

I never said it was an impossible task that only I can do because I've been preparing for this for years, I'm just saying it's not as easy as some people may think it be, and I find it annoying that people giving self-praise saying that its nothing.

A lot of you are probably better than me, I can survive catas and pies, but AA's and AAA's on them? I have no chance. I'm also sure that more than 10% has the ability to do this, but how many of them have done it?? Drew. Thats all I know.

Heavy's for 5 hours is great, I'd probably be struggling after 2 hours. Like it's been posted before, its a completely differnt test of abilities with 40 hours. Just because you can run a 10 miles in under an hour doesnt mean that you can walk around the world. It may increase your chances, but its not for sure. This is a test of sleep deprivation tolerance, focus, and pre-empetive planning, not straight up DDR skills.

Bah? hype? glory?
Did I ever say that I was better than anyone else? Hell, I'm really not sure that I can do this yet, I'll only know when I try. I didn't even start this topic, my friend did. And if you really read the first post, he was just asking for tips and advice. Nothing like "Praise me the almighty DDR king who will break the most impossible world record ever!!!" The rest was in response to people either giving advice and support or to people attacking the event. I'm not that insipid to think I'm better than everyone else.


Anyways, it's late and I should be going to bed soon, the event is in 2 days. Holy crap!! Sorry if I seem offensive, the stress sometimes gets to me. Planning for this is probably harder than the event itself. IDK, we'll see in due time.

$928 if I reach 40 hours, and I have a lot of ppl to hit up for money tomorrow

Any of you guys in the area to watch? PM or E-mail me, and I'll give you all the info. Peace out

[Noobus Kahn]

haha if ur doing this in 3 days u should start sleeping now (and not wake up until the 20th)

gl and whatnot

[Anthony5555]

Good luck!!!! I really hope you can do since it is for a good cause. I wonder how far this record will be pushed. You think 10 years from now some guy will play it for 7 days straight?

[Naroznick]

For Khan There, Sleeping FOr 3 Days Straight Probably Wont help. If Anything it Could make it Worse As It Will Lead To "Oversleeping" Had It Happen Many Times Before.

[d-r3k]

it is about 33 hours until the record attempt and im getting a bit daunted, i went to nickel mania where the event is being held, and every that i was playing with said they would come to support us This is goingto be totally mental, so i just hope that i can have the determination to carry on through out the full 40 hours. I bought some fat burning pills or some poopy that helps me perform better and be more focused, i tried it out last night and it helped you sooo much, but i got supper bad charlie horses in both legs at the same time ont he pad :X

[zerovampire311]

Well, I'm gonna put in my 2 cents, buy pain relievers!!! Not that pill crap, get some icy-hot or ben gay or somethin, trust me, it'll help when you get further in. Drink somethin like gatorade before you do it, you'll need to hold electrolytes, but not water, so don't eat much salty food. Get a good nights sleep, and I hope you can see Erin next year!!!
And most of all, after you're done, , provided you're of age...
anyways, GOOD LUCK!!!
