123.5 meter Stone Skimming: Breaking the World Record!

[@孙常立]

why the stone is orange

[@daveohmer2261]

Awesome! Congratulations Chris! Looking forward to catching up with you in the states. Best of luck with the move.

[@TartarSource5335]

Huge congratulations Skipper Chris! It's been a rapid progression from struggling to make the 70 m crossing to breaking the world record. Also, nice hat.

Super Talented Person Really❤😊

[@RockSkippingPro]

Awesome skips! My best is right around 100 meters. I need to try making some of those perfect stones like you have

[@psychotic-artsstudio2729]

Are these shotgun targets that explode when shot? If so I wouldn't count them because it would need to be a natural rock imo,a perfectly flat and perfectly round object should do better so idk

[@skipper_chris]

These are custom made concrete "stones" that match the weight and density of a natural rock, but in a consistent and repeatable shape. I explain the process in some of my other videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoeUeGSpd9aZg5o

Give your stones to Dougie Isaacs and let see what is a world record.

[@MidooHadi]

Or Alex Lewis, he threw (Alex Lewis) 145 meters with a man made stone at the Welsh Open recently and his stones were not painted (which removes a huge amount of friction)

[@cgbreeki849]

Absolutely astounding. Gigantic congratulations! There could be different categories of stone skipping records: natural and artificial stones. Could be interesting but might bring up some problems or something. Anyway, you certainly deserve to be the record holder. Beautiful throws too!

[@michaelemory552]

While you may have done a thing, it just won’t be ratified. Limno lithics are specific. I think you could put more energy into these throws. Fun stuff.

This is awesome, congrats and fantastic job working the process!

[@johnmering342]

Inspiring!!!

[@hamishcarter4050]

@SkipperChris you ain't just some average guy skipping stones mate... you're a world record holder!

[@buildingtheyurt7753]

It has been 7 months since your last video! What is happening in Skipper Chris land?

[@skipper_chris]

So much! Moved back to Vermont, got a job, bought a house, and trying to cram adventures in every free bit of time this summer. Going to the Vermont Stone Skipping competition on September 17th, so will absolutely get a video up of that!

[@buildingtheyurt7753]

@@skipper_chris Awesome! Can't wait for that video! We just finished a short film for the 48hours challenge: will drop a link once we are allowed to share it!

[@MidooHadi]

Only natural stones count for world records! And the unofficial world record with a man made stone is 145 meters by Alex Lewis! Non the less great throws!

[@skipper_chris]

Well at least I had the unofficial man made record for about a year. Still amazed by Alex Lewis's incredible throw! Going to take a lot more practice to get there.

[@GreenBlossomPainting]

WooowEeeee! 🎉🎉🎉🦆🎉🎉🎉

[@garybailey4246]

That's some brilliant throwing but to break the world record you have to use natural stone not artificial...just saying 😊

[@roberthalvorsen429]

Someone call Guinness!

[@1.4142]

We need a side shot to count the number of skips!

[@ieuancollom7308]

They can’t be stones

[@areyouseriousholmes]

i thought we counted skips not distance

[@skipper_chris]

Stone skipping = skip counting. Stone skimming = distance

[@Penne_Trader]

Concrete self made stones do not count for the Guinness team...it needs to be stone, non man made

[@stevelawson1388]

Theyre not stones. Smh
