0:11:02 > 0:11:05# Officially, officially, officially Amazing! #
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- Officially... - Sh! Competitive.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21These are the three most extreme, most intense
0:11:21 > 0:11:25and most peculiar record breakers on the planet.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30They're going head-to-head in Officially Competitive!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32With national pride at stake,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36they take on records which you can try at home.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39In the red, white and blue corner
0:11:39 > 0:11:43is diminutive but devastatingly deadly US Ray.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50He's the brilliant back-flipping, bouncing all-American hero.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56In the other red, white and blue corner, and representing the UK,
0:11:56 > 0:12:00is the man they call Sizzling Steve.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02He's an emotional fireball of energy
0:12:02 > 0:12:05when there's a whiff of a record in the air.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08And in the red and white corner, he's never blue,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10it's Japan's Mr Cherry.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14This introverted, demure and somewhat underdressed fellow
0:12:14 > 0:12:19is a record-breaking behemoth and our Haruka is his number one fan.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Our tireless trio have been fighting it out
0:12:22 > 0:12:25over a series of different events.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28It's been wet and, boy, has it been windy.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32With five different events completed,
0:12:32 > 0:12:34it couldn't be much closer.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Sizzling Steve and Cherry lead the way with two victories each
0:12:38 > 0:12:41with US Ray just behind with one win.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Today's Officially Competitive challenge
0:12:44 > 0:12:48is the most golf balls picked up with the feet in one minute.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50The balls need to be moved with the foot
0:12:50 > 0:12:53and placed into a bucket five metres away.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57They can only move one golf ball at a time.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01The same foot must be used throughout the attempt
0:13:01 > 0:13:04and if a ball is dropped a new one must be picked up.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08The current world record is ten golf balls in one minute.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Time to talk toe tactics with US Ray.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18You've got to wish that when you saw this record that you had extra toes.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Maybe not extra toes but longer toes.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Longer toes?- Yeah, I'm looking for those little T-Rex toes with claws
0:13:25 > 0:13:28and grab in and pick it out.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Ray, be honest, how are you feeling about this record?- It's in the bag.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- That confidence. I love it! Let's break that record.- Let's go do it.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38All right. You heard it here.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43I'll count you in from three. On my mark. Three...two...one...go.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Come on, US Ray. Hop to it!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52He looks like he's having buckets of fun
0:13:52 > 0:13:55but he needs to pick up the pace.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Oh, no, he's lost one. He'll be hopping mad at that!
0:14:01 > 0:14:04He's got to double back and get another ball.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08This is your record.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13He's got back into a rhythm and he's teeing these golf balls up nicely.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Five...four...three...two...one...
0:14:17 > 0:14:19stop.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Time's up. While the adjudicator checks Ray's score,
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- let's see how Sizzling Steve... - Steve, are you ready?- Yeah.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29..and Mr Cherry get on.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Mr Cherry, are you ready?- Yes.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Three...two...one...go.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- Yes, good.- Sizzling Steve's gone barefoot. Urgh!
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Go on, Steve. That's it.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47And Mr Cherry is thinking outside the bucket
0:14:47 > 0:14:50and has gone for the one shoe on, one shoe off approach.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Yes! Keep it moving, keep it grooving, keep it sizzling.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Mr Cherry has built up a steady momentum.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03He is like a one-legged Japanese crane in sparkly underpants.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Come on, Steve!
0:15:06 > 0:15:10It's looking close. This competition is going down to the wire.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Yes!
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- Stop!- Oh!
0:15:13 > 0:15:18That's time up. Who has hopped their way to glory?
0:15:18 > 0:15:22The results are in and, with nine balls, it's a tie for second place
0:15:22 > 0:15:26between the UK and USA.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Oh, Steve! So close.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33You didn't get the record but in my eyes you're still officially amazing.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35That means the winner is Japan
0:15:35 > 0:15:39but has Mr Cherry managed to get himself another world record?
0:15:39 > 0:15:45The current record stands at ten and you have achieved...
0:15:46 > 0:15:48..11!
0:15:48 > 0:15:53- It's a new Guinness world record title.- Yes!
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Yes!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57HE SHOUTS IN JAPANESE
0:15:59 > 0:16:02That is officially amazing
0:16:02 > 0:16:06and puts Mr Cherry back into the overall lead with three victories
0:16:06 > 0:16:11and three world records to Sizzling Steve's two wins and US Ray's one.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14But there's a long way to go in this contest
0:16:14 > 0:16:20and anything can and will happen on Officially Competitive!
0:16:20 > 0:16:21So join us next time.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Officially Jumpy!
0:16:30 > 0:16:34This is Frankfurt in Germany, a city famous for sausages,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37sauerkraut and skateboarding.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Yep, you heard.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Today it's all about this guy and his skateboard.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49Super cool Steffen Koster is a legend in skateboarding circles
0:16:49 > 0:16:52and today he's after a Guinness world record
0:16:52 > 0:16:54for the highest hippy jump.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56What's a hippy jump, I hear you ask.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Well, this is a hippy and he is on a skateboard,
0:16:59 > 0:17:03that's how we wheeled him in, but he has nothing to do with the record
0:17:03 > 0:17:05so you better get rid.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07This is a hippy jump.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12It's actually a skateboarding move where the rider jumps off his board,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15over an object, and then lands back on his board.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Clever, huh?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Steffen, what are the difficulties in performing this trick?
0:17:21 > 0:17:25TRANSLATION: Oh, mate, I have to jump one metre forty or fifty
0:17:25 > 0:17:28off my skateboard and land back on it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30The board is really small, like,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33so you have to concentrate on your landing.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35It all sounds very easy to me.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I reckon I could do this so stand back.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Let's have a go, shall we?
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Good luck.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Hold on. This should be hilarious.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Get some popcorn, sit back and enjoy the mess!
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Wait for it. He's bound to fall. What?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59No way!
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Wow, Shires. I'm amazed.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Ben, this is incredible.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Wait a minute. What is this?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Ban, you're no skateboarder. You're just a big cheat.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16All right, Al! You got me. Here are the rules.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Steffen has to hippy jump over that bar
0:18:19 > 0:18:23which official adjudicator Anna is carefully measuring the height of.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28He'll then need to land back on the board and continue skating.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Before Steffen goes for the record,
0:18:30 > 0:18:34he's warming up his hippy hippies with some unusual stretching.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38His practice height is 126cm.
0:18:38 > 0:18:416cm lower than the current record.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45That's still really high. Impossibly high, even.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48If he can't clear his practice jump, it's all over.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51He's ready. He's off. Steffen's on the approach.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55He needs the right speed, a massive amount of spring to clear the bar
0:18:55 > 0:18:57and pinpoint accuracy in the landing.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01This is just a warm up, remember. Look at him fly!
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Cleared the bar, now can he land it?
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Yes, he can!
0:19:06 > 0:19:09He made that look so easy.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12He's so laid back and he's so cool.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Bu the bar needs to be 6cm higher for the record.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Will he be as cool now the real heat's on?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Steffen, I think it's almost time to break a record.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22- Ready?- Yes.- Excellent.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26The bar is now set at 137cm.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29That's 5cm above the current world record.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32But he doesn't look worried.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Surely he can't clear it going at that speed.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Ha-ha-ha!
0:19:42 > 0:19:47We have a new record on out hands. Steffen made that jump look so easy.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I don't know how because that's ridiculous.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Steffen, give me your hand. How did that feel? That looked easy.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- Yes, it was easy. - He's not even broken a sweat!
0:19:57 > 0:20:01But he will now. He's beaten the record, now he wants to smash it.
0:20:01 > 0:20:07Adjudicator Anna set the bar at an incredible 150.3cm.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Nearly 20cm higher!
0:20:10 > 0:20:12This guy is so unbelievably cool.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Now it's almost as high as Anna.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Same casual run-up, speed's not as important as height for this.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Can he clear 150?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Oh! Cleared it, didn't land it.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30His board's such a small target to hit from, such an epic height.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32And it's moving.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I think you've got this in you. Do you want to try again?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Of course he's going again. Steffen's still smiling
0:20:38 > 0:20:40and still breathing.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Slightly longer run-up this time.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45He can do the height but he needs to nail the landing.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Looking good on the run-in - focused, composed.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55No! Straight through the bar. Nowhere near.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Can this even be done? I'm not sure it can.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Well, this is what happens when you set the bar high
0:21:02 > 0:21:05and Steffen's set it very high indeed.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07He's up for one more. Come on, Steffen.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Let's smash this record.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Remember, he's already beaten the record
0:21:12 > 0:21:14but he wants to obliterate it!
0:21:14 > 0:21:17This morning, the record was 132cm.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20He beat it with 137cm.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Now he's going for a ridiculously high 150.3cm.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Impossible, surely.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31He's cleared it. Can he land it?
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Nice!
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Yeah, that was it. That was perfect.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43Landed it brilliantly. Seems to have cleared the bar with absolute ease.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Let's take a look at his effortless grace again.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50He's jumping the height of Kylie Minogue, for goodness' sake!
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Steffen, you set the bar, you raised the bar,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56you did everything to that bar and you jumped over it.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- You must be delighted.- Yes.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Fantastic. Where does that leave us, Anna?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03The current record was 132cm
0:22:03 > 0:22:06and now, thanks to Steffen, it's 150.3cm.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Congratulations.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Hip-hippy-hooray. Steffen is of course officially amazing.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Amazing!
