Rock Bottom Competition

What an arm!

A Pennsylvania man set the world record by skipping a single stone on water 51 times.

Russell Byars, 43, shattered the previous record of 40 skims.

“I actually threw 40 stones that day, but that was the first skip that I threw,” said Byars, who is known as “Rock Bottom” in the competitive stone-skipping world.

    Does he use custom made stones or something. I’m lucky to get more than 3.

    wow - there is a “competitive stone-skipping world”! Perhaps this will be the next craze and sometime soon we’ll see Paris Hilton vs Pamela Anderson in the finals of clebrity stone skipping!!!!
