Saturday morning, Luke Lorick etched his place in world history with a Bean Bag.  A few months back, Luke decided he wanted to get into the Guinness Book of World Records, so he started looking for something he could do.  He found out that there was no current record holder for the Longest Backwards Cornhole Toss.  The only requirements were that it had to be at least 30 Feet.

So Luke practiced backwards cornhole tossing for 3 months. On Saturday morning, Luke showed up to Downtown Loveland, in Foundry Plaza, along with people from the American Cornhole Association, and a Professional Surveyor.  They set up an official Cornhole board, and handed Luke some Bean Bags.  After about 14 minutes, Luke finally sunk his shot.  It was about 50 throws in, when the bean bag arced through the sky and sunk through the hole.  The Professional Surveyor marked it at just over 36 Feet.

Luke’s Record is not official yet.  Guinness World Record Officials are sticklers.  There are certain criteria that has to be met, with paperwork, and documentation, and if any part of it is wrong or questionable, Guinness will toss it. It takes about three months to get results back from Guinness, and when you do break that record, they’ll also send you a Certificate, Suitable for Framing. We will update you once Luke’s attempt is official.

Guinness Facts:  About 50,000 People apply for records each year.  Only about 1,000 actually make or break the records.  Once you remove Religious Texts from the equation, the Guinness Book is the Best selling book of all time.  It is published in 37 Languages.  It costs nothing to break an existing record, and $5 to create a new Record, and you have to notify them 12 weeks ahead of time.  But if you pay extra, they can speed things along.  Despite the name, the Guinness Book is no longer owned by the Brewery.  It is now owned by the same people who own the Ripley’s Believe it or Not Franchise.

36 Feet doesn’t seem that far, even backwards…  Read more about how you can break a record.
