The Rules!
So you want to become a Guinness record holder eh? Obey the list below!

1. Must be human powered, single person.

2. Flat surface, that is dry, asphalt or cement, including the approach.

3. A marked start point to signal the start of braking.

4. Attempt must consist of two (2) skids going in opposite directions on the same section of pavement. This is to take into account wind or possible slight incline/decline.

5. Both attempts must be started and completed within a one hour time frame.

6. Upon crossing the start line, the clock starts, braking should start, and measurement starts at the point the rear bicycle tire stops turning. Skid ends when forward momentum ceases or the pneumatic tire bursts.

7. Only one attempt at the record can be made on any given day.

8. The official distance is the average of the two skids within the 1 hour timeframe.

9. Both skids must be made with the same bicycle with only the changing of the tire/tube allowed.

10. May use a single bicycle of any style with pneumatic tire.

11. Must wear a bicycle helmet of any style.

These are the rules I followed and most (those that don't strictly apply to bicycles) are generally accepted in the international motorsport community. I believe these rules promote fairness for any other individual who may want to challenge this World Record.
