Last month, we traveled to Loveland, Colorado and teamed up with our friends at Tailgating Challenge for a world-record setting event.

Luke Lorick, the creator of Tailgating Challenge, set the first official world record for the longest backward cornhole shot. At 36 feet 7 inches, this is the longest official backward shot to be verified by a professional surveyor, representatives from the American Cornhole Association, and the necessary footage and witnesses present. 

Luke approached the ACA several months back and invited us to be a part of this memorable event. As the original and official governing body of cornhole, our role was to verify the standards and equipment used for the event. 

A custom set of ACA official regulation cornhole boards and bags was sent to Luke to practice on weeks before the event. When the big moment came to make the shot official, Luke was ready. It took about 15 minutes until finally he hit the shot. And it was an absolute Airmail. 

Now, having submitted all the needed videos, documentation, and photos. all that's left is to make the world-record Guiness certified.

It only took a total of about 15 minutes for Luke to finally make the shot - an airmail from 36-ft. 7-in.

A celebration fit for a king!
