[d-r3k]

My name is Derek Dougherty, and on July 20th Keith Floresca can I are going to attempt to break the world DDR Record. The purpose is not only break the record, but to gather pledge money to bring a good friend of ours back from russia in the summer of 2005. We have already began training and if there are any people who have attempted the record and have some pointers please e-mail me at [email protected]

Thank you in advanced

DDR OWNS ALL !!!!!

What exactly are the rules for completing the World Record Challenge?

Isn't it something like only 30 second rest between each song and a 15 minute break every 8 hours?

As well, what is the restriction on the songs you have to chose?

[lithium3141]

i heard the guy that did 37.5 hrs only danced beginner most of the time...

what difficulty are you planning to play?

as for tips, the usual:
stay hydrated
rest well the night before
etc.

I believe some of the rules are as follows, although I'm not positive of all of them:

1) All songs must be played on heavy.
2) You play on event mode and get 30 seconds between each song.
3) You can take either a 5 minute break every hour or a 15 minute break every 3 hours.
4) You have to video tape the whole thing (if you want it to be an official record).

Again, these are vague memories, so don't quote me too much.

I can't stand looking at the arrows anymore than 2 hours a day. 40 hours would cause major pain in teh stomache and brain areas.

40 hours of straight dancing. That's crazy! i can barely stay awake that long. But go 4 it.

[Arrow098]

Good luck ! Let me give you a hint. Wear Underarmour. It will help a lot. Forty hours in an incredibly long time to be wearing clothes soaked in sweat. Your shoes will be completely soaked as well, so you will need a few pairs of shoes. You don't want to play with sweat-soaked shoes and clothes.

Is there a limit on how many times you can repeat a song?what about rules regarding failing a song? The longest I've DDRed is six hours, and my fatigue dragged me down from nine footers to seven footers, forty hours and I'd be on basic. OH well, Good luck.

[ShrtysSk8er]

Breaking a record is harder than it sounds. But go for it, anyways...

[DJX]

Wait, wait, wait...beginner?!?!? That would be easy as hell, even for 40 hours.

well guiness has not sent us the official rules, and the only way to get them is to send them 400 $. the point of this whole project is to raise money to bring a friend of ours back from russia for a summer. here is how we see it
- We will be doing beginner light and trick
- We will take 15 min breaks every 8 hours
- We will take up to 60 seconds between songs which will count as the total time
- We are going to go over 40 hours just in case the time in between songs doesnt count
- you are not required to paly all heavy's i'd like to see you play straight heavys for 5 hours with out collapsing douche

15 min break every 8 hours is correct
also the 30 seconds between songs is correct
all songs must be on heavy difficulty or above
you must play EVERY song, before you can repeat one.

i have also heard you must do it on the same machine that the records were done on...which i believe was a Euromix2, that may be subject to change. Also i didnt hear anything about lifebar difficulty. concidering you cannot fail, this may be helpful in the later hours. oh and have fun with Legend of Max and Maxx Unlimited after playing for 20 hours. oh and just to let you know, there is a simple way of playing heavy for hours on end, without rest, learn to play like me and barely move. anyways, have fun you guys.

[MkidAAA]

no you dont have to do heavy or above you can do any difficulty and repeat as much as you want. pay attention.

instead of contacting guiness why not just talk to the guy that did 37.5hrs? He would know.
