The Can't Break My Stride fad is composed of an animated GIF of people walking or running along, easily overcoming a specific type of obstacle or inconvenience, accompanied by Matthew Wilder's Break My Stride (available on Volume 10 of the YTMND Soundtrack). It is occasionally referenced by the acronym CBMS. The original YTMND was made by syncan on February 26, 2006, which features a scene from the series My Name Is Earl where triple-amputee Cameron Clapp chases after Earl on prosthetic running legs.

Varieties

A popular variation of these YTMNDs is the "trip stride" variety. These usually involve a character, again, running or walking, but are distracted by something and end up tripping over an item they should normally be able to avoid. At the moment of impact, the music is interrupted, and silence typically follows the remainder of the YTMND. The best example of this YTMND is Can't Break Scotty's stride by NovaDaveX.

Some sites may use other versions of the song, the most popular being a club version of Pink Lagoon's take.

NARV Status

The fad can be abused as most sites involve just taking an image and setting it to music, but really not to the degree as other fads. Most recent stride sites involve the "trip stride" variety.
