In 2009 a world record will be broken

[cube60659]

ok the subject is right in 2009 I  am going to be traveling cross the usa from LA the exact latitude and longitude is

Code:

lat=33.962771237, lon=-118.461867918

to new york city

Code:

lat=40.6991002135, lon=-74.040606373

and the reason why i put this in the topic of meet up /USA is in 2009 i want to meet up with bockers from all over the united states (it's not my ultimate goal but i would love to meet others/you any way )
my ultimate  goal is to gain money for the homeless any way

[cube60659]

i'm confused, what record is this going to break, are you gonna make this journey on bocks or something?

longest walk on stilts

and yes


the mileage should come out around 5580 miles and i'm going to break it by 3000 miles  if in can find away to get an extra 20 miles in (should be no problem ) any way any other questions you have ??


p.s. sorry i don't really come on here to much as you can see by how may posts i have and i apolozie if i am in the wrong area

Your gonna die !
A group of people did a 10km and nearly died (slight exageration) but you are gonna stuggle to do this in my opinion.

How long are you thinking this will take you and have you done any training yet to get used to walking long distances.
 

[Locky]

I agree with athoul. Best of luck to you pal but I think you're going to fail or die trying.

well ok yeah it's going to be rough for a little while at that start but down the line my body will adapt to everything



i have been doing about 5 miles a day for the last 6 months at joging speed and when it comes time im going to be extreamly fit


right now i am clearing every thing up with guinness  to much paper work   

any way
i have all the necessary  equipment for long distances i have

• 1. an un-used VAIO UX Premium Micro PC
• 2. GLT Quest light weight (2 lbs) back pack
• 3. a powerfilm  Model R15-300 Solar Powered Battery
• 4.and a steadycam merlin (for on the go video stability )
• 5. an AT&T Type II PC Card (so i have internet anywhere)
• 6.water(most important and yes i will have plenty of it )
• 7.an aiptek A-HD high resignation shock prof camera
• 8.and all the other essential food preserves aka MRI's  cloths sleeping bags rain grear and all the good stuff

 i estimate  that my trip should last about lets see
22 day's to NY
22 back to LA
 
total 44 day's

round it our for worst case scenario about 2 months


i will leave in the summer probably around march  and arrive in NY  maybe May or so maybe befor most likely

i have been training like i said for about 6 months and will continue to train tell i am ready to go


i will have several sponsors once i can finish all the necessary requirements

my sponsors will be

• google earth
• youtube
• one.org
• stiltstiltwerks-inc (aka jeff jay aka world record breaker worlds tallest stilts)

and i think that covers everything


please point out any thing i may need


also

if you see me on the news tell people you seen it here first

so you're saying your gonna cover 5600 miles in 44 days, you know that's walking 125 miles per day right? some how that just doesn't seem physically possible.  I think this crazy journey is possible, but not on that times scale, and if i'm free i'll be waiting for you in NYC.

[stescarr]

As XS said, 125 miles a day is a hell of alot of mileage. Taken into account your also gonna be carrying your essentials, i would say you have got an incredibly hard task ahead of you.

This said anything is possible, and your going for a world record not a stroll in the park so its gonna be difficult. Best of luck to you mate, wish i could be there to see you reach the end

[mikey]

well125 miles...thats 8.33 recurring miles an hour for 15 hours a day...that doesnt sound too hard.. but this means probably jogging, and stops for resting your feet...i recon you will do it in about 50 days

[cube60659]

sorry my estimations where wrong  like i said it' probubly going to take about 2 months or so im not going to be jogging but i will be covering good ground 


maybe 3 months to call it safe 

[bcicio]

I'd say quite a bit longer than that.  I'd put a one-way trip up around the 40 day range.  I don't think a person on bocks would ever average that speed over that amount of geography and in that time.  Every day isn't going to be a nice sunny day.  There will be days with torrential rain and strong winds.  There will also be long stretches of uphill bocking that will totally drain you.  Add to that the fact that your equipment may not be able to handle it and break in the middle of nowhere.  (I assume you won't be jumping much - but still..)

I would suggest a support car/van with supplies follow you, or at least meet up with you every few days.  Or arrange for people (resident bockers?) to meet you in various towns along the way for support.

I know you can do it and wish you luck.  I just think it is going to take longer than you think.  I'll be in NYC to greet you and buy you a beer.
