Episode 8 Officially Amazing Extra

Hello and welcome to Officially Amazing Extra

where I put the best bits from yesterday's show

with some awesome unseen footage and hand it over to you.

A bit like a present.

What is this? This is a disgrace.

Right. I'm going to have to go sort this out.

You check out what's coming up.

Yesterday, we saw some absolutely awesome world record attempts.

In Texas, Al witnessed Jalyssa achieve a flipping incredible record

for the most consecutive back flips.

And Haruka was in Japan where Yoneyama Yuichi folded like fury

in an attempt to make the most origami paper cranes

in five minutes. This morning, we've got some super exclusive

extra stuff for you,

including an unseen record attempt from break dancer Roxy...

and I try to master the high-speed world of sport stacking.

First, though, here's a little extra something...

HE SCREAMS

SHE CHUCKLES

Hello and welcome to Edinburgh

where I'll be tripping the light fantastic for a dance record.

Yep, I've been known as a bit of a mover and a groover in my time.

'And while I look the part and certainly have

'the skills to pay the bills... Oh, yeah!'

It takes two to tango.

I think it's time to meet my dance partner. Roxy?

Well, she clearly didn't get my email about the dress code.

Introducing Roxy Milliner.

A former world trampolining champion,

she's now a professional break dancer and travels the globe

showing off her amazing skills.

Since she's more street than Strictly, I'd better ditch the tux.

Roxy, I'll catch you outside...

when you've finished showing off.

Fierce!

It looks really cool to watch.

Is it the coolest dance form?

-Yes. Definitely.

-What's the most difficult trick that you can do?

Most probably a head spin. It took the longest to learn,

but now it's the easiest because I practise it a lot.

The head spin is everything to do with the record

-that you're going to be attempting today.

-Yeah.

Today, Roxy is after...

..the record for which is currently 91.

Yep, you heard. 91!

Whilst Roxy gets her head round this record attempt,

why don't we check out the rules for most head spins in a minute?

Whee!

Clearly, I'm not going to try it and you shouldn't either.

Please leave head spinning to the professionals

and look at the rules instead.

A hat may be worn, but no additional head padding is allowed.

Hands may be used to propel the challenger through the spin,

but only head and hands can touch the ground.

And each 360 degree rotation counts as one spin.

Well, it's about record time.

Crowd, are you ready to cheer her on?

The crowd are ready.

Roxy looks ready.

-Her knuckles sound ready...

-CRACKING

Now she just needs a regulation hat.

That one will do just fine. Here we go.

We begin as soon as Roxy starts spinning.

And she's off.

This one's all about speed and balance.

She needs roughly three spins every two seconds to break the record.

That's incredible. You can feel the wind.

91 spins to beat, remember.

And she's looking fast there.

30 seconds. Halfway point.

Keep your head, Roxy.

With each spin, she gets dizzier,

so balancing gets much, much harder.

Ten seconds to go. Nine.

Eight. Seven.

Six. Five.

Four. Three.

Two. One.

Stop.

CHEERING

Roxy, if you can, do you want to make your way over here?

Do you want to take my hand?

Do you need me to spin you the other way and put you right?

-I'm really dizzy.

-Let's keep our fingers crossed for this record.

Official adjudicator Anna is carefully verifying every spin.

Did Roxy get more than the 91 spins she needs?

The results are in...and...

..she did with 101 spins!

-It's a new Guinness world record.

-Wow.

Officially Amazing, obviously.

Incredible!

But she wasn't done there.

Exclusively, for Officially Amazing Extra,

here's another resplendent Roxy record attempt.

Roxy wants to go again with the most consecutive head spins.

For this record, once Roxy has started her spin

she can't use her hands again. It's all on her head.

The attempt starts when her hands leave the floor

and she needs at least 25 spins to set a new Guinness world record.

Are you ready again, guys?

CHEERING

Excellent. Well, let's have more of the same, please, Roxy.

Break a record.

Roxy needs to gain as much momentum as possible for her one big spin.

And her hands have left the ground, she's off!

We haven't sped this up, you know. She really IS going that fast.

How many spins can she get?

Unbelievable balance!

She's slowing down.

What a finish!

Incredible!

Come over here. We're over here.

So, Roxy, that looked great from where we were standing.

-How did it feel to you?

-I don't know if I broke the record.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-It looked amazing, though.

That looked so good. It's definitely more than I could do,

not least because my quiff would prevent me.

Once again, official adjudicator Anna checks the footage back.

Has Roxy spun her way into the record books

for the second time today?

Remember, you had to get 25 or more.

You got 29. It's a new record.

It's Officially Amazing.

Well, in a break-dancing bonanza, Roxy has nabbed not one

but two records for spinning on her head.

That's incredible. She's a dance maestro

and of course, Officially Amazing.

Congratulations, Roxy,

who's taken the art of head spinning to dizzying new heights.

She must be very proud.

And now for some records that are very loud!

In yesterday's show, I went to Butzbach in Germany

to meet teenagers Timo and Ryan who are Guinness world record holders

at sports stacking.

THIS is sport stacking. They were trying to break their own record

for fastest cycle stack which stands at a super speedy 6.53 seconds.

They had three attempts.

The first two didn't go well.

Oh, nearly! OK. That's the first attempt down

and they're going straight into the second.

Limbering up, the sportsmen's fidget there.

Hands, cups, mat, sweaty hands,

trousers, cups.

That's a mixture of superstition and rehearsing their moves.

And sweaty hands. It has to be perfect.

KLAXON BLARES

Oh! And that's it for attempt two.

It was over before it had really begun.

But that's the fickle nature of the cycle stack.

OK. That's two down, no record yet.

If they're going to do it, it's got to be now.

Final chance now. Nail it and eternal glory will be theirs.

Mess it up, well, it doesn't bear thinking about.

3-6-3. Boom!

Now the 6-6. Yes! Yes!

The 1-10-1 and... Oh! Capitulation.

Timo catching an edge again and sending everything flying.

Look how close they were this time.

It was the 1-10-1 that cost them the record.

So close.

What a shame.

I decided this sport stacking could be something The Shires

might be good at.

Here's some exclusive Extra footage of me taking care of business.

OK, fellas. You've taught me all you know.

Now let me teach you something. This is how you do cup stacking.

I'll be attempting the 3-3-3 stack, as demonstrated here by Ryan.

Yeah, he's pretty quick. But watch this.

It's too hard!

Didn't want to do it anyway.

Ah, there you go. Much better.

Just goes to show, if you want something doing properly,

do it yourself.

Oh. By the way, it's socks for Al's birthday.

Whilst I pop these off to the States, why don't you check out

what's coming up in this afternoon's show?

SHEEP BAAS

Behold, Hercules.

This huge Ukrainian spends his life doing dangerous

and unwise things like this...

and this...

but today he's going to be attempting the record

for the greatest combined weight juggled.

You can use anything you like,

but Hercules has gone for

a particularly TYRE-ing juggling option.

Let's meet him.

-Hello, Hercules.

-Hello, Ben.

-Now, get down from there. This is ridiculous.

-OK.

-Why did you become a strongman?

-My father was a strongman.

Wow. So it's in your blood, it's in your genes.

In terms of the record, are you feeling confident?

I think, yes, I can do it.

OK. So, Hercules has gone off to prepare for his challenge.

Will he do it? We'll find out soon.

Now, I'm joined by two clowns who are preparing for a classic

slapstick routine.

Basically, what happens is they look to size me up

to throw a cream pie in my face.

But at the last possible moment, they, of course, go for each other.

Never ever trust clowns.

Here are the rules.

All three tyres must be the same weight.

He must use a standard juggling technique.

So, right-left, right-left.

And he must juggle for at least 30 seconds to get the record.

OK. It's time to get juggling.

And not only that, but the whole circus has turned out

to support Hercules. Guys, is he going do it?

CHEERING

I think that was a yes. Hercules, are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Excellent. Then let's do this.

Hercules starts by balancing one tyre on his head.

Will Hercules achieve a new world record?

Find out in this afternoon's brand-new show

where we'll also have all these incredi-records.

# Well, jelly babies will be jumbled

# And the fellas will stumble

# As they sort them against the clock

# Who will finish first and who will be the worst

# In this chopstick challenge for the top?

# Will brave Hercules struggle

# As he tries a super heavy tyre juggle?

# This guy makes a sandwich quick

# But the way he does it might make you feel sick

# And Ray bravely risks his life on the end of a bungee

# It'll be Officially Amazing. #
