I am really happy for Ben on his records, however I would like to point out that Tori Boggs from River Valley Skippers in the USA broke our US National record and apparently the world record on June 25th and again on June 26th with a score of 960 steps and 480 count in the US Age Group Championships and the US Grand National Championships at Disney World.

 

Please add this to the FISAC records site

 

Thank you!

November 29, 2005

Last Sunday (November 27th 2005) during the Belgian Master-Championship, Ben Hoste, member of RSC-Rivierenhof, broke two World Records (and also the European and Belgian records of course)!!!!
In 30 sec Speed Ben scored 94 (or 188 steps). And with this he finally equalled as first male skipper the female record set by Alexandra Toth from Hungary!!
In the 3 minutes Endurance Ben broke a second World Record by scoring 438 (which is a total of 876 steps)!

The official results of the championship, are available at www.bvlo.be and on www.rsc-rivierenhof.be where there is a link to the BVLO-site and the results; of course all in Flemish...

As of today the FISAC-IRSF Records site was updated to see everything in the right perspective.
