Two guys in their mid 20s, Don Badaczewski and Matt Green, says they are going break the world record for riding the subway system in the least amount of time. Subsisting only on “beef jerky and water” the two will attempt their goal starting Wed. Aug. 23, 6 a.m. at the Rockaway Park station on the S.
“Sadly, though, since the fabled days of the 1960s, endurance subway riding has largely fallen out of favor, taken up only by portly men with social anxiety problems and poor complexions. That's where we come in. The record we are trying to break was set in January 1998 by Mike Falsetta and Salvatore Babones. It took them 25 hours and 11 minutes to pass through every station, without exiting the system.”

Best of luck guys! Best of luck!
