(KNSI) – Brothers Matt and Ben Bzdok want to break their own Guinness Book of World Record title for most completed Frisbee tosses in a row.
The two grew up in St. Cloud and graduated from St. Cloud Cathedral High School and St. Cloud State University, where they both played on the Ultimate Frisbee team. On October 30th, 2020, the two set the record after completing 2,944 tosses on a racquetball court at SCSU. Ben says they’re trying to set the record on New Year’s Eve Day (December 31st) at the Cathedral High School gym.
“We’re thinking and expecting that this year, when we do it in a basketball court with a lot more range, we should be able to beat that. And we’re aiming to five to 10,000.”
He says the closer you get to the record, the harder it will get to keep their concentration.
“Anything could just get your attention for one millisecond. If you looked away, you could miss it. You could drop it. It’s very easy to catch a Frisbee, but like anything, if it’s very monotonous, that’s where the danger comes in, when you think you’re going to close your hand or you just go a little bit too far.”
Ben says to count as a throw the Frisbee has to pass at least ten feet in the air. The disc must be thrown no longer than five seconds after it’s caught. The two must have a slow-motion camera on all the time and another unedited video of the brothers tossing the Frisbee.
He says they can complete about 1000 tosses in around 90 minutes. The two plan to start tossing at noon on Friday at Cathedral High School.
