Aha!

0:00:240:00:25

Welcome to Officially Amazing, the show that brings you

0:00:250:00:28

the most explosive record attempts from all over the world.

0:00:280:00:31

Alley-oop.

0:00:310:00:33

Today, we're here in sunny California to watch these guys

0:00:330:00:36

try and slam dunk their way into the record books.

0:00:360:00:38

But before we get to that...

0:00:380:00:40

check out what's coming up on the rest of the show.

0:00:400:00:42

What do you say, one more?

0:00:420:00:44

Thank you, Al. Yes, stay with us and you'll get to see some fantastic

0:00:440:00:48

Guinness World Records title attempts including...

0:00:480:00:52

MUSIC: Dare by Gorillaz

0:00:520:00:55

Our competitive heroes go again as we ask the poetic question,

0:00:550:00:59

"Are these guys able to make a dice stack stable?"

0:00:590:01:03

Some of your favourite CBBC faces take it in turn to become

0:01:060:01:09

the best at PEA-ing in a bucket.

0:01:090:01:12

Don't worry, mums and dads, it's not as it seems.

0:01:120:01:15

And this lady will try and break a record involving boomerangs.

0:01:170:01:21

I can't remember exactly what it is but I'm sure it'll come back to me.

0:01:210:01:25

First, though, back to Al in America.

0:01:250:01:27

-Oh...

-HE CHEERS

0:01:300:01:32

HE SCREAMS

0:01:320:01:34

SHE LAUGHS

0:01:340:01:35

For years, this show has made me look goofy.

0:01:350:01:38

Maybe even a little silly.

0:01:380:01:41

But not today, cos today it's basketball. It's my game, baby!

0:01:410:01:45

Give me that ball.

0:01:450:01:46

Watch this. Come on.

0:01:460:01:48

Oh, and it's Al Jackson! He is owning the court.

0:01:500:01:54

What's that over there? Ha! Nothing.

0:01:540:01:56

Nothing can stop the... TWANG!

0:01:560:01:58

Who left a life-size cut-out of Ben on the court?

0:01:580:02:01

Oh, I've been wondering where I left that.

0:02:010:02:04

I give up.

0:02:040:02:06

Let's just concentrate on the real reason we're here.

0:02:060:02:09

This could be our coolest ever record attempt.

0:02:090:02:12

Meet Acrodunk.

0:02:120:02:15

Founded by former Houston Rockets NBA Basketball mascot

0:02:200:02:24

Jerry L Burrell,

0:02:240:02:25

these acrobatically gifted b-ballers are the dons of dunking.

0:02:250:02:30

They're already multi-world-record-holders,

0:02:310:02:33

travelling the globe to inspire and entertain.

0:02:330:02:36

-I see Acrodunk...

-Yes.

-And it looks cool. And what is it?

0:02:400:02:44

A combination of acrobatics and dunking.

0:02:440:02:47

Hit off the trampoline, slam dunk the ball, do tumbling, flips,

0:02:470:02:50

dance, all that stuff, and make a great amazing routine out of it.

0:02:500:02:53

The record they're attempting today is...

0:02:530:02:56

Sounds pretty tricky. That's a front flip.

0:03:000:03:03

That's the pass off the backboard

0:03:030:03:06

and they've got to do that at least 15 times, and then end it with

0:03:060:03:09

a dunk within the 30-second time limit to set a new world record.

0:03:090:03:14

And, as you can see, even just the dunking part

0:03:140:03:16

of this is tricky enough.

0:03:160:03:18

Timing has to be impeccable.

0:03:180:03:21

If it's not right, not only will it ruin the attempt,

0:03:210:03:25

but someone could get hurt.

0:03:250:03:27

-Yeah?

-How would you feel, like,

0:03:270:03:29

-about a little shoot-out before we get started?

-Why not?

0:03:290:03:32

It'll be fun. Let's do it.

0:03:320:03:33

-Jerry, so we can get this over with quickly, I'm going to go first.

-OK.

0:03:330:03:37

All right, I'll just show you how it's done, you know?

0:03:370:03:40

-There we go.

-Let's see what you've got.

-All right.

0:03:400:03:42

MUSIC: I Wish by Skee-Lo

0:03:420:03:44

There we go.

0:03:440:03:46

Hmm, good start, Al(!)

0:03:460:03:47

Just warming up, Ben.

0:03:470:03:49

Should I do it with my eyes open or closed, which one?

0:03:490:03:52

-Oh, closed.

-I'm going to say you do it with your eyes closed,

0:03:520:03:55

-just so I can see what I'm working with.

-All right.

0:03:550:03:58

SCREAMING AND CHEERING

0:03:590:04:02

That's an amazing shot!

0:04:050:04:08

Al, I think you're a little out of your depth, aren't you?

0:04:100:04:14

Oh, you're under my net!

0:04:140:04:16

'Oh, man, this is bad.

0:04:160:04:18

'My only way out of this is to mess with his mind.'

0:04:180:04:20

Let's see what you got.

0:04:200:04:23

Just don't miss, that would be really embarrassing.

0:04:230:04:25

All over Europe people going to see you lose.

0:04:250:04:28

'That's way off. I've gotten inside Jerry's head, psyched him out.

0:04:300:04:35

'There's no way, no way on Earth, that ball's go...

0:04:350:04:39

'Oh... It's going in, isn't it?'

0:04:390:04:43

SCREAMING AND WHOOPING

0:04:430:04:45

OK, you definitely beat me.

0:04:480:04:50

-Now, let's see you guys get this record, how about that?

-I like that.

0:04:500:04:53

That'll put me back in a good mood.

0:04:530:04:55

Let's get to the record. Here are the rules.

0:04:550:04:57

Only one basketball can be used during the attempt.

0:05:010:05:04

They must each do a full front flip before releasing the ball.

0:05:040:05:08

The team must end the attempt with a slam dunk

0:05:080:05:11

within the 30-second time limit

0:05:110:05:13

and the target is 15 passes off the backboard to set a new world record.

0:05:130:05:17

J-Skillz has joined me on the sideline,

0:05:170:05:19

along with official adjudicator Ben.

0:05:190:05:21

Three, two, one. KLAXON BUZZES

0:05:210:05:25

So much to get right here. Bounce, flip, pass, land and repeat.

0:05:290:05:35

15 the target, this is the first time it's ever been attempted.

0:05:360:05:40

Oh, no! Only five passes before it fell apart.

0:05:410:05:45

Can they even do this? So close, so close!

0:05:450:05:48

What did you see went wrong with that?

0:05:480:05:50

Fingertips, man. The ball came off the fingertips.

0:05:500:05:52

Upside down, fingertips, it's a little difficult.

0:05:520:05:55

But you know your boys. They're ready for another round, right?

0:05:550:05:57

-They're always ready for another round, man, always!

-All right.

0:05:570:06:00

A disappointing start for the Acrodunk boys

0:06:000:06:02

but they're not giving up without a fight.

0:06:020:06:05

While they prepare to go again, Ben,

0:06:050:06:07

do you have something equally cool we can check out?

0:06:070:06:10

-Do I?

-Well, do you?

-Er, yeah, I think so.

0:06:100:06:14

Whoo!

0:06:160:06:18

HE YELPS REPEATEDLY

0:06:180:06:21

Uh-oh. Ah!

0:06:210:06:23

HE GROWLS

0:06:230:06:24

Over the past few years on Officially Amazing

0:06:260:06:29

we've seen some true feats of human skill and endurance.

0:06:290:06:32

Yes, that was a man pulling a bus with his teeth.

0:06:340:06:37

I'm hoping that today will be no exception, which is

0:06:370:06:40

why I've come here to CBBC Live in NewcastleGateshead,

0:06:400:06:43

where I'm hoping to witness what will be the thrilling highlight

0:06:430:06:46

of this series of Officially Amazing, a record like no other!

0:06:460:06:50

'And it is...'

0:06:500:06:52

What is this? This is rubbish! Guys!

0:06:540:06:59

Pathetic.

0:06:590:07:00

Yeah, not exactly the challenge I'd hoped for.

0:07:000:07:04

But the good news is, if you have these items

0:07:040:07:06

you can play along at home.

0:07:060:07:08

You just move the dried pea from the plate to any container

0:07:080:07:10

you like, as long as there's a hole no more than two centimetres big

0:07:100:07:14

in the top of it. Simple.

0:07:140:07:16

And another simple game to play is spotting all my brilliant

0:07:160:07:19

pea puns, so get counting and see if you've got them all at the end.

0:07:190:07:23

Come on, Ben Shires moving peas, easy-peasy!

0:07:230:07:27

Yeah? Yeah.

0:07:270:07:29

But I'm not alone...

0:07:290:07:31

Yes, it's CBBC challenge time...

0:07:310:07:34

-Feeling good?

-Nope.

0:07:340:07:36

..to see if they can set a new Guinness World Records title

0:07:360:07:39

of 27 peas or more moved in 30 seconds.

0:07:390:07:42

Peas, jar, jar, peas, peas, jar.

0:07:420:07:44

And, of course, we couldn't have a record attempt

0:07:440:07:47

without our competitive legends taking part.

0:07:470:07:50

They'll have their go soon enough but it's the turn of me

0:07:500:07:53

and my pals in Newcastle first.

0:07:530:07:55

Well, they're certainly eager.

0:07:550:07:57

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

0:07:570:07:58

So eager, they've forgotten the rules.

0:07:580:08:00

Got to have one hand behind your back, actually. Sorry, I forgot.

0:08:000:08:03

-Do you?

-Yeah. You can't be touching the straw to start off with.

0:08:030:08:06

-This is hard!

-And it can't just roll in, it has to be placed in.

0:08:060:08:10

In a-one, two, a-one, two, three, peas!

0:08:100:08:14

And we're under starters hors d'oeuvres.

0:08:140:08:16

Who can get 27 peas or more?

0:08:160:08:18

Nice. Slow and steady.

0:08:180:08:20

That's how it works.

0:08:200:08:22

Ooh, Johnny's missed picking up the pea completely.

0:08:220:08:25

Well, that sucks.

0:08:250:08:26

But so does having the pea and missing the target.

0:08:260:08:29

There's a hole in that if you need it, you know.

0:08:290:08:31

This is nice, it's a good rhythm.

0:08:310:08:34

'Ow! Go, Bobby!

0:08:340:08:36

'If you're trying this at home, rhythm and speed are key.

0:08:360:08:39

'Check out Dumping Ground's Leanne - very impressive.

0:08:390:08:42

'Kasey's looking on, mesmerised.

0:08:420:08:44

'News just in - Ayshah's not going to win this race...'

0:08:440:08:47

Really taking her time over every pea.

0:08:470:08:50

'..leaving Ricky very little to report on.'

0:08:500:08:52

Ooh, Radzi's rushing it!

0:08:520:08:54

He's not placing his peas close enough to the hole

0:08:560:08:59

but, still...

0:08:590:09:01

He's not as bad as Naomi!

0:09:010:09:03

-PEA:

-I'm free!

0:09:030:09:06

-You've got ten seconds left.

-How'd that happen?

0:09:060:09:08

Think your quiff's weighing you down, cocker!

0:09:080:09:11

-Time's running out.

-Stop.

-Ooh!

0:09:110:09:14

-How's he done, cocker?

-He's got 11.

-Oh!

0:09:140:09:17

Hooray, you didn't do it! Well done!

0:09:170:09:19

All right, let's see you do your worst. Three, two, one, go!

0:09:190:09:24

Oi!

0:09:240:09:26

Hey, hey, this is a new shirt, you...

0:09:260:09:28

Great.

0:09:280:09:29

'Think we'll call that zero.

0:09:290:09:31

'Dare Devil matched my 11.'

0:09:310:09:33

11 peas. I've no idea how that is

0:09:330:09:36

in the league table of pea redistribution.

0:09:360:09:38

'Well, Dare Devil, there were higher scores...

0:09:380:09:40

-13. 15.

-Ooh, brilliant.

-Cool.

0:09:400:09:43

'..and lower scores.'

0:09:430:09:45

You got six. HE LAUGHS

0:09:450:09:48

Six.

0:09:480:09:49

'But is this world record to pea or not to pea?

0:09:490:09:53

'Did anyone get 27 peas or more?

0:09:530:09:56

'No.

0:09:570:09:58

'Ooh, it's an epic fail in NewcastleGateshead.'

0:09:590:10:02

Oh, I'm so ashamed of myself.

0:10:020:10:04

My mum's going to be so disappointed, that's the main thing.

0:10:040:10:06

-I'm not going to be able to look her in the eye.

-Cheer up, Johnny.

0:10:060:10:09

It's not over yet. Can our competitive superheroes do it?

0:10:090:10:14

27 the target. Off they go!

0:10:140:10:17

-Go!

-Come on, you can do it.

0:10:170:10:20

'Oh, a strawful start for US Ray.

0:10:200:10:22

'Cherry's looking impressive.

0:10:220:10:25

'Steve's looking pretty quick.'

0:10:250:10:27

He's a machine.

0:10:270:10:29

'But Mr Cherry, he's in another league!

0:10:290:10:31

'Though we have sped that up a bit, he's ra-PEA-d.

0:10:320:10:36

'His technique will have Steve and US Ray pea-green with envy.

0:10:360:10:40

'Can they beat the target of 27 peas?'

0:10:400:10:43

Sizzle for me, Steve.

0:10:430:10:46

'Pea, two, one! They can do no more.

0:10:460:10:49

'Well, except watch official adjudicator Anna

0:10:490:10:52

'count them and wait.'

0:10:520:10:54

17.

0:10:540:10:55

It's good, US Ray, but not good enough. Steve...

0:10:550:10:58

19.

0:10:580:11:00

'He doesn't look pleased.

0:11:000:11:01

'So it's all down to Mr Cherry.

0:11:030:11:05

'Can our record-breaking big shot beat the target of 27?'

0:11:050:11:09

Twenty...

0:11:090:11:11

nine!

0:11:110:11:13

So, Cherry's done it, he's got the record!

0:11:130:11:16

And he's far too delighted to high-five me.

0:11:160:11:19

I'm a strong straw! Bang, pow-pow!

0:11:190:11:23

He's the new cham-PEA-on.

0:11:250:11:27

And that was my final pea pun, which brings the total to...

0:11:270:11:30

..eight pea puns. I'm a-PEA with that.

0:11:320:11:35

Right, without further ado,

0:11:350:11:37

let's return to Al in America for something...

0:11:370:11:39

-Ouch!

-'Part Two.'

0:11:430:11:46

Welcome back to sunny California,

0:11:510:11:53

where earlier we met the awe-inspiring Acrodunk.

0:11:530:11:56

They're hoping to gain a new Guinness World Records title

0:11:580:12:01

for the most front flips with a pass off the backboard...

0:12:010:12:04

Like this...and ending with a dunk, in 30 seconds.

0:12:040:12:08

Their target is 15 flips and passes within the time limit.

0:12:080:12:12

Their first attempt only went to prove how tough this challenge is.

0:12:120:12:16

But these boys aren't giving up without a fight.

0:12:160:12:20

They're back and poised to go again.

0:12:200:12:23

Three, two, one.

0:12:230:12:25

Focus.

0:12:250:12:27

-That first one down.

-That's one...

0:12:270:12:29

-Beautiful.

-Two, three...

0:12:290:12:31

Right, there we go.

0:12:310:12:33

Incredible! They've hit their rhythm and they're off to a flying start,

0:12:350:12:39

literally.

0:12:390:12:40

That's ten already.

0:12:430:12:44

Six more and a clean dunk within the time limit and the record is theirs.

0:12:440:12:48

There it goes.

0:12:480:12:50

Acrodunk's in the house!

0:12:530:12:55

Whoa!

0:12:570:12:59

That's a world record right there!

0:12:590:13:01

They look confident but only official adjudicator Ben knows the score.

0:13:010:13:05

Let's find out officially how you guys did.

0:13:050:13:08

So, the minimum requirement for this category was set at 15.

0:13:080:13:11

With that attempt,

0:13:120:13:15

-you achieved a total of 16.

-Yeah!

0:13:150:13:19

The boys are delighted!

0:13:190:13:21

A stunning attempt and a new world record

0:13:210:13:23

but how close were they to their 30-second time limit?

0:13:230:13:26

So, with that attempt you were only running for 22 seconds.

0:13:260:13:28

-What?!

-So you do still have some more time.

0:13:280:13:31

-We got eight seconds.

-We're going again.

0:13:310:13:33

-We'll go one more time.

-We want to break it.

0:13:330:13:35

All right. They want to break it. Wow!

0:13:350:13:38

They have a new world record but with eight seconds of unused time,

0:13:380:13:41

they want to go again in the hope of smashing it.

0:13:410:13:44

All right, let's keep that engine going. I'm going to count you guys

0:13:440:13:48

from three, two, one.

0:13:480:13:50

Acrodunk's next attempt looked great.

0:13:500:13:53

They were as fast and efficient as they could be.

0:13:540:13:57

And after the final dunk they were certain they'd done enough.

0:13:570:14:02

Good dunk!

0:14:020:14:03

Now that's a record right there!

0:14:030:14:05

But official adjudicator Ben did not

0:14:050:14:07

look as happy as everyone else.

0:14:070:14:09

And I confirm that a total of 21 front flips were performed.

0:14:090:14:14

However, unfortunately,

0:14:140:14:16

-the slam dunk wasn't completed within the 30 seconds.

-Mm-hm.

0:14:160:14:19

If you listen carefully, you can just hear Ben shout "Stop"...

0:14:190:14:24

-Stop!

-..before the final dunk.

0:14:240:14:27

Unfortunately, it doesn't stand as a new record.

0:14:270:14:29

Guys, you look winded.

0:14:290:14:30

Do you have energy for one more go? What do you say?

0:14:300:14:33

-That's a crazy question!

-All right, all right.

0:14:330:14:35

They must be exhausted but these guys have real dedication

0:14:350:14:38

and guts, and so they're going again.

0:14:380:14:40

I'm going to count you guys in from three...

0:14:420:14:45

two, one.

0:14:450:14:47

Their current record is 16 and they're off to a sensational start.

0:15:000:15:05

There you go!

0:15:070:15:09

This is their fourth attempt today, they must be beyond dizzy!

0:15:180:15:21

Focus, fellas, keep going!

0:15:210:15:23

Ten seconds left and the boys keep on spinning.

0:15:230:15:26

Five, four...

0:15:260:15:27

Oh, they need to dunk before the 30 seconds are up.

0:15:270:15:31

..three...

0:15:310:15:33

two...

0:15:330:15:34

-That's it!

-Amazing! No mistakes in the passing

0:15:340:15:37

and the guys are loving it. But was the dunk within the 30 seconds?

0:15:370:15:41

And, if so, have they beaten their own recent record of 16?

0:15:410:15:45

That looked unbelievable. Official adjudicator Ben, talk to me.

0:15:450:15:48

So, I can confirm that a total of 20 front flips were

0:15:480:15:51

made during the attempt and the time at which

0:15:510:15:55

the dunk was made

0:15:550:15:57

was 28 seconds.

0:15:570:15:58

And there you go!

0:15:580:16:00

It just goes to prove that if you work hard enough...

0:16:000:16:03

Guys, congratulations.

0:16:030:16:04

..and you want something bad enough, you'll get it.

0:16:040:16:07

Acrodunk, you are officially amazing!

0:16:070:16:09

Thank you, Al. Right, who's up for a sing-song?

0:16:090:16:12

Good! Here's one of our favourite songs about records, karaoke-style,

0:16:120:16:17

so you can sing along too. All together now!

0:16:170:16:19

Right, whilst I give my voice a rest after all that singing,

0:17:480:17:50

-here's Haruka with something...

-Officially Spinny!

0:17:500:17:53

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, AAAH...!

0:17:550:18:00

Today, we're in China to see an amazing world record attempt

0:18:010:18:06

for the most rollerblading fluffy-hooded dancers.

0:18:060:18:09

This is going to be better than amazing. This...

0:18:090:18:12

PHONE RINGS Sorry. Hello? Oh, hello, Ben.

0:18:120:18:16

Oh. So, it's actually about boomerangs?

0:18:160:18:20

That can only mean one thing - it's Boomerang Girl!

0:18:200:18:25

This is Liu Dongdong and today she's going to attempt

0:18:270:18:30

the record for...

0:18:300:18:35

It's complicated, but this Chinese Ben lookalike will now explain.

0:18:350:18:39

I see! The target for the new record was set at seven.

0:18:420:18:45

And here's Liu's first attempt.

0:18:460:18:48

She got all seven up in the air,

0:18:480:18:50

but failed to catch the penultimate boomerang.

0:18:500:18:53

So, as you can see, it's not very easy,

0:18:530:18:56

but Liu was close and on her next attempt, so impressive!

0:18:560:19:01

Liu managed seven comfortably and bagged herself the record.

0:19:010:19:04

But that wasn't enough for Liu and she wanted to go again.

0:19:040:19:08

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

0:19:080:19:12

Eight boomerangs!

0:19:120:19:13

In order to break the record she must put all eight

0:19:130:19:16

in the air at the same time and then catch them.

0:19:160:19:19

Three, two, one, go!

0:19:190:19:21

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

0:19:210:19:26

It's a good job I'm counting, as you can hardly see them.

0:19:260:19:30

Will she catch them all?

0:19:300:19:32

She did!

0:19:330:19:35

That's amazing!

0:19:350:19:36

A new Guinness World Record achievement!

0:19:360:19:39

Oh, she's off, without her certificate or medal!

0:19:400:19:44

Thank goodness for her superpower that allows her to come back.

0:19:440:19:47

Thanks, Haruka.

0:19:470:19:49

Now, from repetitiveness we move on to competitiveness.

0:19:490:19:52

Arrh!

0:19:560:19:58

Hmmm!

0:19:580:19:59

Hah!

0:19:590:20:01

Eh, huh!

0:20:010:20:02

Waaagh!

0:20:030:20:04

Earlier on, we witnessed Mr Cherry claim another world record

0:20:050:20:08

using peas.

0:20:080:20:10

Now it's time for he, USA Ray

0:20:100:20:12

and Sizzling Steve to fight it out again.

0:20:120:20:15

Yes, that's right, we've flown Cherry, US Ray and Steve

0:20:150:20:19

to a secret record-breaking bunker in the UK to join me, Al and Haruka

0:20:190:20:24

and compete once more in a series of record attempts you can try at home.

0:20:240:20:29

This can only be...

0:20:290:20:31

Last time, Mr Cherry was the first to win in a chopstick jelly-eating

0:20:370:20:41

competition and he bagged himself a new world record in the process.

0:20:410:20:44

But how will he do in today's record attempt, and what is it?

0:20:440:20:48

Aaaggh! it's Officially Competitive time

0:20:480:20:51

and today's record is the succinctly titled...

0:20:510:20:54

Phew!

0:20:580:20:59

First, to decide the order in which our competitors would

0:20:590:21:02

take on the dice-stacking record attempt,

0:21:020:21:05

Al, Haruka and I competed in The Plank, a challenge in which

0:21:050:21:09

we had to hold our bodies in this position for as long as possible.

0:21:090:21:12

Al wimped out first, after just two minutes and two seconds. Pathetic!

0:21:120:21:17

You only lasted another 28 seconds.

0:21:170:21:19

-Yeah, well, I just wanted to let Haruka win.

-Nice try, boys.

0:21:190:21:23

I could have kept going all day, and my victory meant Mr Cherry

0:21:230:21:27

got to choose if he went first, second or third in the dice-stacking

0:21:270:21:30

record attempt and, wisely, he chose third, so he could

0:21:300:21:34

see how many Ray and Steve stacked, and know the number he had to beat.

0:21:340:21:38

But before they aim to achieve STACK-isfaction,

0:21:380:21:40

we spoke to the competitors to see just how confident they were.

0:21:400:21:44

How well do you know the back of your hand?

0:21:440:21:47

Like the back of my hand.

0:21:470:21:49

He shoots, he scores! Thanks, Steve.

0:21:490:21:52

So, while Steve's training involved staring at the back of his hand,

0:21:520:21:56

US Ray went for a very different approach.

0:21:560:21:59

-Well, I've been working on my ninja skills.

-OK.

0:21:590:22:02

So, blindfolding, not a problem. Stacking dice, not a problem.

0:22:020:22:06

-I'm going to use my right hand to stack, left hand to balance.

-OK.

0:22:060:22:10

Stack. Stack. Stack. My way, all the way to the record.

0:22:100:22:15

Well, then, let's do it.

0:22:150:22:17

US Ray all day, stacking dice! He don't play.

0:22:170:22:20

Nice rhyming, Al, but what will Mr Cherry's tactics be?

0:22:200:22:24

How are you going to do it?

0:22:240:22:26

Well, love, the key is to find a nook on the back of your hand,

0:22:270:22:31

like that, and line the dice carefully.

0:22:310:22:34

Anyway, it's more about...

0:22:340:22:36

dice to meet you...!

0:22:360:22:39

Quite! Let's get the rules.

0:22:390:22:41

Competitors must use one hand to stack on to the other hand.

0:22:410:22:45

They can't rest on the table or their leg or anything else

0:22:450:22:48

for support.

0:22:480:22:49

Only dice that remain stacked for a full five seconds after

0:22:490:22:53

the 30 seconds' stacking time has finished will count.

0:22:530:22:56

And the record to beat is 11 dice stacked.

0:22:560:22:59

US Ray is up first.

0:22:590:23:00

CHANTING: US Ray! US Ray! US Ray!

0:23:000:23:04

Either they are seriously big dice or Ray's got tiny hands.

0:23:090:23:13

Look! Sizzler's using his mind powers.

0:23:130:23:16

Well done, Steve!

0:23:180:23:19

Ray's got to start again. Not sure what happened there.

0:23:190:23:23

Choosing his dice carefully, he's still going for the big ones.

0:23:240:23:29

Nervous stacking from Ray here... What? He just stopped stacking.

0:23:290:23:34

He seems happy with three, even though the record to beat is 11.

0:23:340:23:38

Come on, man!

0:23:380:23:39

Stacking time up and official adjudicator Anna

0:23:390:23:43

counts the five seconds required for the dice to remain stacked.

0:23:430:23:46

And Ray's bagged himself a solid but underwhelming three.

0:23:460:23:50

Playing for the win, not the record, perhaps.

0:23:500:23:52

I like that you picked a number and you stuck with it.

0:23:520:23:55

It's a massive risk, but let's see if his gamble pays off.

0:23:550:23:59

Sizzler's up next.

0:23:590:24:01

WHOOPING

0:24:010:24:02

Ever the original, the enigma that is Sizzling Steve

0:24:020:24:06

has brought his own dice and his own box.

0:24:060:24:08

Yes, Steve has brought his lucky dice with him that he's used in

0:24:080:24:11

successful record attempts before,

0:24:110:24:13

and a box to put them on so they're higher, which makes them easier

0:24:130:24:17

to grab and closer to the stack!

0:24:170:24:19

Official adjudicator Anna allows this little bit of tactical genius!

0:24:190:24:23

Some people call him cool, I call him as cold as DICE.

0:24:230:24:27

On three, two, one, go!

0:24:270:24:30

Steve off to a confident start. Cherry watching intently.

0:24:340:24:38

Will his tactic of waiting and seeing

0:24:380:24:40

what the other two score pay off?

0:24:400:24:43

Sizzler stepping up to his special box now,

0:24:460:24:48

to be more level with his stack.

0:24:480:24:50

Stacking time's up.

0:25:010:25:02

He's got to hold that wobbly stack for five seconds.

0:25:020:25:05

Ooh, late drama here,

0:25:070:25:09

they fell at the last moment.

0:25:090:25:12

Will that attempt count?

0:25:120:25:13

Well, it certainly puts the pressure on Cherry. Remember, 11 to beat.

0:25:130:25:18

Three, two, one, go!

0:25:180:25:20

Speedy, confident, yet not without a trembling hand.

0:25:240:25:29

That's three, so he's matched US Ray. And one more makes four.

0:25:290:25:33

Can he now get more than eight?

0:25:330:25:35

Going for a fifth but, oh, he's lost it! He's got to start again.

0:25:370:25:42

Sizzler will be pretty happy if Cherry stops before eight.

0:25:420:25:45

Cherry is back up to four and he seems happy with that.

0:25:450:25:49

He must be hoping Sizzler's attempt was invalid.

0:25:490:25:52

Stacking done!

0:25:540:25:56

-Dice to meet you, to meet you...

-ALL: DICE!

0:25:560:26:01

All right!

0:26:010:26:03

How does he even know that reference?

0:26:030:26:07

Clearly, no-one got near the target of 11 dice,

0:26:070:26:11

so there's no new record today.

0:26:110:26:13

Now, it's all about national pride

0:26:130:26:15

and getting a point on the board for the win.

0:26:150:26:17

Steve badly wants a victory here.

0:26:170:26:20

He knows Cherry's four is enough to beat Ray.

0:26:200:26:23

Did Steve hold his stack for long enough?

0:26:230:26:25

And what about Cherry's Union Jack tights, are they legal?

0:26:250:26:29

So, in third place we have US Ray with three.

0:26:290:26:33

-Yeah!

-Team USA strangely celebrating last place there.

0:26:330:26:36

-OK.

-But today's winner is Steve with eight.

0:26:360:26:39

CHEERING

0:26:390:26:41

Cherry both shocked and disappointed,

0:26:410:26:43

but, yes, Cherry, eight is more than four.

0:26:430:26:46

The Sizzler has stacked his way to a sensational victory today,

0:26:460:26:50

matched only by his ludicrously over-the-top celebration.

0:26:500:26:54

And that is the most exercise he has ever done outside of

0:26:540:26:57

record adjudicated conditions.

0:26:570:26:59

Right, let's see what that does to the scores.

0:27:000:27:03

Cherry's jelly-eating triumph last time,

0:27:030:27:06

matched by Steve's dice-stacking victory today,

0:27:060:27:09

sees them on a point apiece, with Team USA still to score.

0:27:090:27:13

But there's plenty more competitiveness to come.

0:27:130:27:16

So join us next time for more Officially Amazing World Records

0:27:160:27:19

and world record attempts like these...

0:27:190:27:21

Dice to meet you, to meet you... DICE!

0:27:210:27:25

# Well, our jaws hit the floor as we finally saw

0:27:250:27:28

# Al actually showing some skills But what he did with the ball

0:27:280:27:31

# Was nothing at all compared to Acrodunk's high-flying thrills

0:27:310:27:34

# Liu Dongdong did her thing and got a record with her boomerangs

0:27:340:27:38

# Our competitors tried dice-stacking

0:27:380:27:40

# Sizzlin' Steve sent the other two packing

0:27:400:27:42

# And Cherry's precisionary power got him a new record

0:27:420:27:46

# It's all officially...AMAZING! #
