Records are made to be broken. Most table tennis balls caught in shaving foam on the head in 30 seconds is one of them. Jonathan “Hollywood” Hannon and I had a hard time trying to break this record the first time when it stood at 21. We practiced, got rules clarifications, and finally got 29.

A few months later our record was broken with a run of 32. We’d spent enough time practicing and working on the strategy that we had to defend this one. I spent a few weeks practicing throwing close to 60 table tennis balls from one hand into a target in 30 seconds. It’s harder than you might think to reload quickly and then only let one ball go at a time. I also spent 10 times as much time sculpting the shaving foam on Jonathan’s head as I did on the 30 seconds throwing the balls to stick on his head. The effort paid off and we have reclaimed this record as ours with 35 table tennis balls stuck on the head in shaving foam in 30 seconds.
