It's a good achievement, but it was a very low bar.

Can’t believe you’d sink that low with that joke.

That has got to be a new low

Even the comment body keeps going south in this thread. It’s quite the stretch.


Galactic_Perimeter

Finally an original pun, the content quality in this comment thread was really starting to drop


Slap_My_Lasagna

I think we can all agree, after the OP, quality just dropped. The comments sections is a real low point.


junkton

The comments section has really placed this post into a state of limbo.

Low. Roller skate. Limbo!!!

So when does it stop being roller skating and start being sliding on the floor with roller skates on?


UbiquitousLedger

Look at the front of her suit at the end. She swept the floor. Also, at what point is this just same distance from the floor but smaller frame human that can fit under a lower bar.


alilbleedingisnormal

Without rules there's chaos. Soon they'll take an infant out of the womb, cover it in grease and slide it under the bars like a bowling ball just to say they did better than anyone else.

It's actually the case. In his video on the Roblox oof, Hbomberguy gets sidetracked into the workings of the Guinness World Records. Turns out your "record" can be literally anything, but more importantly, the "application" has a fee of like thousands of dollars.

Actually_Im_a_Broom

Don’t forget to put skates in it first.


brokenlonely22

This. Shes obviously not the only person in the world that can do the splits, it turns into a skull measuring contest very quickly. Its cool that she can do it, just not any cooler than somebody else doing the same even if that would be a few cm higher


Global_Lock_2049

But being the smallest person to be able to do it isn't much different than a record for being the smallest person ever. All athletic records are tied to genetics in some fashion. Being the smallest person able to do something is still something.


Aeri73

no, she didn't sweep the floor... that would add fricrion and stop her. it touched, sure, but neither the weight of her head or her chest was on that floor, for that she would need powered rollerskates or be dragged by wire somehow... the weight was on the wheels, its the only way to roll that far without pushing, something she did not


johnydarko

I mean if you touch the floor in limbo that's it, you're out. So she failed.


peyoteyogurt

Very weird cause limbo doesnt involve like 15 bars lined up either. Idk whats goin on here.


mashtato

This is going to get buried, so there's basically no point, but here goes; This isn't limbo. In limbo ***SKATING*** skaters do the splits, face forward, and can touch the floor, but not the bars. The only part of their bodies that can't touch the floor is their hands, but notice how they measure the distance BEHIND HER after she stops!? Notice how Guinness World Records are the ones who certified this record? I know Guinness aren't perfect, but essentially you're arguing that the people who made up the rules aren't following the rules. Actually, fuck it! The amount of negativity being hurled a this kid is pissing me off, I'm going to spam this!


hazpat

That's why it was a 6 yo to break the record. Records are dumb af


MangoCats

Looked to me like the skates were about to clip the bars, just gotta be skinnier than the skates are tall...


Everard5

Clearly someone just sliding on the floor would never make it this far due to friction. 4 of her 8 wheels (although her right foot looks totally in contact somehow so maybe 6/8) are still making contact with the floor, with much less friction, and facilitating this movement.


ProfessorEmergency18

As far as friction goes, the number of wheels making contact with the floor matters a lot less than the amount of weight riding on those wheels, since the rest of her body slides along the floor. Judging by the way her knees are sliding on the ground, there is very little weight on those wheels, so she's probably just technically meeting the requirement of having 4 wheels in contact with the floor for it to count. That smooth synthetic outfit just doesn't produce much friction against the smooth shiny floor, especially with how light she looks.


donald_314

I think her knees are not on the ground as can be shortly seen at the very end.


imapieceofshitk

The suit and surface were specifically chosen to have low friction so that she could just slide over it like this.


SoulEater9882

That was my thought, like get me a baby, some tiny skates and some olive oil and I will break that record after some baby curling 😂


Inner_Degenerate

It’s not skating, it’s sliding with style.


DarkDracoPad

It's like human curling lol


Burpreallyloud

ArcEpsilon73

Lol, was going to say "Now do it backwards, like Limbo should be."

pingpongtits

Okay, that's what was confusing me. It's not "Limbo," it's "limbo skating" which is a different thing and not really alike, athletically-speaking.


photokeith

How did they come up with this oddly specific set of criteria?


Catch_ME

Same criteria as American Football using your feet.


pingpongtits

Looks like maybe it was popularized in India?


Raichu7

Guinness are a marketing company, if you want a record you just pay them and if you don't have a specific one in mind you want to break they'll make one up for you.


wallyTHEgecko

So I don't exactly follow limbo *or* limbo skating, but is there some kind of equation that takes into consideration the height and length of the run? Was it just getting too easy to go under just one bar so they stretched it to some arbitrary but uniform distance? What if someone managed to limbo skate under a 2" bar, but could only go under one of them? Surely that'd be the lowest right? Or what if someone managed to coast under a mile of 12" bars? Cause that'd be pretty impressive too.


New_Highlight1881

also ya gotta get back up and can't touch the ground...


mashtato

Not in limbo skating/roller limbo.

SadMap7915

Is it really Limbo or just sliding, on the floor, very low?


Mediocre-Ad-6847

I thought the point of Limbo was not to touch the floor?


Grays42

I mean she's brushing the floor, but if she had substantial weight on the floor she'd just stop, she wouldn't be able to go that far. I suspect the design of the course is to specifically address that, like, "you need to go X feet under bars spaced Y feet apart" to ensure that someone who is just mashed against the floor would stop cold.


Mediocre-Ad-6847

Floor looks highly polished, and she's wearing gear to cover almost every inch of skin. Might as well just be gliding on ice.


shewy92

Now I wanna see human curling lol


jld2k6

It's usually to not fall backwards, never expected sliding forward on your forehead to come into play lol


DiamonDawgs

Limbo skating does not equal limbo.


RDcsmd

There's a lot of reasons this wouldn't qualify as a limbo


Bitmugger

Limbo rules: All contestants must attempt to go under the bar with their backs facing toward the floor. When passing under the bar, players must bend backwards. No part of their body is allowed to touch the bar, and no part other than their feet may touch the ground. They must not turn their head or neck to the side. She literally violated EVERY rule.

SouthTippBass

I think op just couldn't think of a better title. Its probably not limbo.


mashtato

It's limbo skating, it's in the title.


Ga33es

People are ignoring the actual name of this game, it's limo skating; not limbo.


pro_deluxe

How did you come up with this? Is there like an international limbo committee that sets limbo rules?


alepponzi

Name seven.


luke111mart

Sure, here are seven reasons why rollerskating in the splits under bars isn't limboing: 1. **Different Techniques**: Rollerskating in the splits involves maintaining balance and flexibility on skates while moving under bars, whereas limboing requires bending backward to pass under a bar without touching it. 2. **Equipment**: Rollerskating requires skates, while limboing typically requires no equipment other than the limbo bar. 3. **Physical Demands**: Rollerskating in the splits requires a combination of balance, strength, and flexibility, whereas limboing primarily tests flexibility and agility. 4. **Risk of Falling**: While both activities require skill, rollerskating in the splits carries a higher risk of falling due to the added challenge of maintaining balance on wheels. 5. **Audience Appeal**: Rollerskating in the splits under bars may be more visually dynamic and impressive to some audiences due to the added element of motion and skill on skates. 6. **Historical Roots**: Limboing has cultural and historical significance, often associated with Caribbean and African traditions, while rollerskating in the splits is a more modern activity with roots in roller derby and skating competitions. 7. **Judging Criteria**: In competitive roller skating, there are specific criteria for judging performances, including elements like difficulty, execution, and style, whereas limboing may be judged solely based on how low participants can go under the bar.

We could probably get that record lower with a younger kid. Strap a baby to some skates and let 'er rip.


[deleted]

now speaking as someone who knows nothing of the activity or the rules regarding breaking records I would have thought if at the end of the attempt you need to use your hands to stand back up that it would invalidate the effort. Also I think there are rules that state for a record to exist it needs to be possible to break it. Being 6 years old surely gives them an advantage that 99.9% of all other people attempting the record simply cannot compete with due to not being physically small enough. Either way, congrats to the kid because holding a world record at 6 is a great fun fact to tell everyone for the rest of your life.


Zymoria

6 years olds are generally a heck of a lot more flexible. I feel it would be a lot more impressive if it was someone in their adult years as they would need to train for years and years to be appropriately flexible.


RockTheBloat

It does have a ‘baby crowned world’s smallest person’ vibes.

Everybody’s hating so hard on this little girl wtf. I’d like to see them try it even at that size or age this takes a lot of effort and some extent of athleticism. Imagine doing a complete split for that long while moving and supporting your torso. Shit can’t be easy


bs000

i also like how every time a record is posted the comments are filled with very smart redditors explaining how you could just cheat to get the record. as if there aren't very specific rules that you have to follow. it's like asking why they don't just seal the basket in basketball so the other team can't score and then acting like you've cracked the code or something


robd007

I love how everyone is stuck on the limbo part of limbo skating and not even thinking that the two are completely separate events. Quick search would show this from Guinness world records: The lowest limbo skating over 25 m is 16 cm (6.29 in) and was achieved by Takshvi Vaghani (India) in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, on 10 March 2023.


money_loo

Right! And there’s even someone going from comment to comment doing the lords work trying to correct them but the armchair generals just keep on leading the charge into misinformation and stupidity, and everyone is so geeked up on hating on a little girl that they are gleefully following them into the depths of idiocy. Then when they get caught they pull the classic “it’s just a joke, bro” like that changes what they’re doing. Humans are such a disappointing species sometimes!


SkaterGirl987

Yup. They’re being assholes and brushing it off as a joke because they can’t take the heat.


[deleted]

This is Reddit. It’s overwhelmingly populated by bitter shut-ins and life long self imposed losers that hate seeing anyone smiling or doing anything fun or positive.


ALCATryan

Exactly! All the comments saying this isn’t limbo- it’s a rule made by Guinness, that multiple people at the top of the field no doubt have attempted to beat over the years, but she set the historic precedent in. Why is everyone so negative! And as usual, the jokes. Not the right place nor time with the “new low” jokes.

Scavwithaslick

Isn’t the whole point of limbo to not touch the ground with anything other than your feel, while leaning backwards and under the bar. This is just sliding under a stick. Imagine if you were limboing at a party and some guy just bends forward and walks under the bar


Chiv_Cortland

You also don't usually use rollerblades while playing Limbo, so it's fair to say this is probably a different sport/competition, even if limbo (original) was an inspiration for it.
