But... One of them is balancing a soccer ball on foot for 13:36 minutes? Thats easy, I reckon...

I reckon its possible for me to balance it for 2hrs It'll take me a lot of tries though.

[Pokerized]

It's probably 13 hours and 36 minutes. Even I could do it for 13 minutes and 36 seconds.

[Soccer4Life]

Yeah, its hours. A ton of people can do it for 13:36 seconds. At least 25 people on this site. So, I reckon it has to be hours...

[Sputnik]

i could beat the head balancing one easily

[Soccer4Life]

Wouldn't put it past ya Sputnik

[kamil k]

very intresting!!

[Soccer4Life]

Lol, thanks, I thought that, too.

[Slipknot]

i have read this and i wondered? how is a man able to juggle for one complete day? that´s crazy!

[G-Unit-Freestyler]

I think most of us would beat the headstall and footstall records...

[Howard]

I've read that before, and the guy's crazy to juggle a soccer ball for one day!

[interfan1992]

these records are amazing. I think I could beat the footstall though. And how do they eat if their juggling all day? I think that would be hard

[RonaldinhoSkills]

Init. Some weird theories emerging.


A man juggling for 24:30 hours will cause cramps to your legs (defintley) and be physically & mentally hard. You would be sweating real hard, and at a time you would need to go to the toilet. After the sweat you would need to drink, you would really need water, since you would be wasting lots of sweat and energy. It's even hard to survive drinking no water without wasting a lot of energy, by just sitting there or doing nothing. He would also be real hungry, defintley... etc.

[interfan1992]

interesting ideas rhonaldinho skills. That would be rather hard. Even juggling for a littl ewhile makes my legs tired

[ajc]

I'm thinking that the person who juggled all day probably did footstalls when they had to eat or use the bathroom. It doesn't say that it was against the rules in the record description, and he probably did for only a few minutes at a time so that it didn't seem like cheating.
