6 minutes and 20 seconds..this morning....dry static...listening to guns n roses!! failed to hold for the whole track by 15 seconds
 
There was a time.......on the Chinese Democracy album..actually i was 21 seconds off finishing the track..:-(
 
Wow! 547 people over 7 minutes. Where are you all hiding!

;)

I guess they listen to entire albums while doing a static.
 
Hi Laminar, I know someone did some trick on that 7+ one, Maybe we should have another - new poll?
I suggest we add the choice options al the way up to 10+, In which case we know there are only 3 or 4 people who've done that.

I'm happy to report to have done my first 7+ about 4 months ago. Though I yet have not repeated it. Because I don't train static much any more. I should pick it up because I'm training for a new p.b. CNF.

Music can be a nice helpful distraction and help.

Love, Courage and Water,

Kars

My PB is 5:01 but that was about a month ago and it's only a week since I quit smoking!

To me music is as essential as water or food (saw Guns 'n' Roses in 1988) but for statics I find any sound distracting. In fact for dry statics I wear ear-plugs despite living in a very quiet location... Can't seem to reach that 'zen place' without silence.
 
I'am making every sunday morning my new dry static personal challenge,..and hoping for 7 minutes this coming sunday. When I end up back trying Wet statics Im sure some water proof headphones will help me pass my 5min 07 from 4 years ago.
The right song is a must for me.
Hey Colinox ..I saw G'n'R in 2001 London...awesome..would have loved to see them in 88.
 
Best FRC statics: 6'24", 6'22", 6'20", 6'13", 6'04"

Hope to break 7'00" FRC this year.

Haven't done a packing static since 2006.
 
Hey Mr Fattah..actually met you at DEMA in Vegas..They are incredible times for FRC Statics ..thats an amazing ability. I will have to start training FRC statics and hope to get at least half your PB.
 
I agree those FRC times are pretty awesome efattah!

It's now 2 weeks since I quit smoking and I've just done a new PB of 6:05 which I'm really pleased about!

Trouble is the Poll won't let me put my new PB in... forever stuck in the 5-6minute range here on DB!
