We changed our name from URDB to RecordSetter. Huzzah! We're shutting down this Tumblr and posting tons of new world record content on our super radical RecordSetter Tumblr Blog. Double huzzah! In fact, we just posted a photo of 343 hot air balloons in the air at once. Triple huzzah! OK, no more huzzahs.

Saturday's RecordSetter LIVE! event at Joe's Pub was massive. The sold-out crowd was treated to an extraordinary lineup of world records, highlighted by headliner Andrew WK's record for Most Times Saying "Party" In A Song.* The night raised over $3,000 for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Thanks to all who joined us.

*200+, awaiting final count

Hey guys! On Saturday night, I’m working with URDB.org (The New Home of World Records) on a Record-Breaking LIVE event to raise money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and Team Fox!

Despite my nervousness about being on stage, I’m pushing through the fear...

Holy cow, world record legend Brian Pankey is AT URDB HQ! Tune into David Letterman tomorrow night to watch him set a Stupid Human Trick.

At the INDY 500 on May 29th, an 875hp vehicle will drop 10 stories down 90 feet of orange track in an attempt to break the current world record for a distance jump in a four wheeled vehicle (302 feet). Evel Knievel would be proud.

This has great world record potential. Someone get on it!
