If this is going to have any value, the records should be more focused and competition like in my honest opinion. Start with a few basic records, then issue a new available record to challenge. Rinse, wash, repeat...

As it is right now, this board is full of fairly useless records that are pretty much pointless. The old records all make sense, but the submit your own record system is too open and haphazard.

Any comments?

I see your point here, HOWEVER, due to the large amount of endless and rather pointless submissions, some valid and impressive replays seem to be languishing in a sea of tepid wanna-be's. Also, by placing milestones up to be challenged, we may see more impressive and focused replay attempts. All the major records of note are already taken. By offering focused and obtainable records we can expand into new territory while still retaining a sense of control and balance.

For example, highest sambo.tbm jump is a record I'd like to see. Thereby, while we create restrictions we actual expand the record book. Not by allowing massive amounts of worthless records, by focusing upon those that really matter.
