Bring. It. On.
King Soviet roars on. He's scored a nine in the salted category.
The question lies in what the circumstances were. No-one is doubting the number but was it in the proper pub environment with wobbly table, a roaring crowd and camerafolk biffing about :)

Going for 9
The moment before... the collapse.
A fine effort from iwouldstay. He tried for a nine, and fails, but succeeds in being the leader in the Dry Roast category.

Beautiful but Flakey
This is a gorgeous stack, good enough to eat. The walnut key-nut on the flaked almonds makes it a very tantalising prospect.
Good work Bethlet

The Ecstasy and the Agony
A screengrab from a video of an attempted 9 nutter. This is the moment when the fingers were removed, milliseconds later, the dream was gone.
Once I get permission from the video taker, I might post a link to the full video. Hearing the COME-ON! bellowing by the racous crowd really brings you a flavour of what a proper pub-based nut-balancing event is really like.

Not Fellini's 8 but Dan's
Dan "The Power" Wartnaby adds another 25% height to his already impressive record. What makes this stack even more remarkable is that it is done on a Friday night, a time so fraught, with jostling-elbows and table-nudgers, that no-one but a nut balancer on the top of his game would attempt a pro-stack.
Respek!
Respek!
Hommage to Rock Balancing
The stack that started it all. Little did we know how it would change the world... for the better?
Current world record six! - dry roasted category
The inaugural record by Dan "The Power" W. set on the night of the first championship. Little did we realise he would break the record within the week.

Hot Almond Action
This should only be attempted by 'seasoned' peanut balancing nuts as the fully rounded edges make it a true test of your mettle.
This is currently the leading almond stack.

The Nut Balancers have risen
It's the craze that's sweeping the playgrounds, pavements and pub tables across the world. Nut balancing has arrived and it's taking the world by storm.
Join with us and welcome in the greatest craze since the Hula Hoop (the hoop twirling activity not the potato-based snack).
The kids are alright
