0:00:02 > 0:00:03This is the world of records.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06# Officially...the biggest shoe
0:00:06 > 0:00:08# Weirdest face, fastest loo
0:00:08 > 0:00:09# Tightest space, longest snake
0:00:09 > 0:00:11# Smallest van, heaviest cake
0:00:11 > 0:00:14# Tallest man, longest ears on a dog... Aw!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16# Most poisonous frog... Argh!
0:00:16 > 0:00:19# And a woman with a beard... What?
0:00:19 > 0:00:24# Officially, officially, officially amazing. #
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Hello. I'm Ben Shires and welcome to officially amazing.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33The coolest look at the wacky world of records
0:00:33 > 0:00:36and record-makers that will leave you gasping in disbelief.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Today, we've got an extravagant array of Guinness World Records
0:00:40 > 0:00:42and record attempts, including...
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Our resident record-hungry student, Sizzlin' Steve, is launching
0:00:47 > 0:00:49ping-pong balls around his kitchen
0:00:49 > 0:00:51in a bid for record-breaking glory...
0:00:52 > 0:00:56..I meet a woman getting undressed as fast as possible to try
0:00:56 > 0:00:57and get into the record books...
0:00:58 > 0:01:01..Haruka's in Japan giving her lungs a work-out...
0:01:01 > 0:01:02SHE SCREAMS
0:01:04 > 0:01:07..and Al finds out why this frothy-mouthed record holder
0:01:07 > 0:01:09doesn't have the hump about serving his country.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13But before any of that brilliance,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16let's meet a man with zero fear in...
0:01:19 > 0:01:20EXPLOSION
0:01:22 > 0:01:24COUGHING
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I'm here in North Carolina in the USA where today
0:01:30 > 0:01:34it's all about record-breaking on two-wheeled speed machines.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37This is Jesse Toler, one of the best motorcycle stunt riders
0:01:37 > 0:01:39on the planet.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43He puts on shows and takes part in competitions all over the world.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47But today will be a severe test even for a man with his talents
0:01:47 > 0:01:50as he sets out to try and break not one, but two,
0:01:50 > 0:01:55Guinness World Records involving one particular motorbiking stunt.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59No, not this, or this, but this.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02A stoppie. What is a stoppie?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05A stoppie is actually when you accelerate really fast and then you
0:02:05 > 0:02:07rely on nothing but your front brakes to lift the bike
0:02:07 > 0:02:10onto the front wheel and then carry that as far as possible.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- So it's basically a front wheelie, really.- Exactly.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- A lot of people call it a front wheelie or nose wheelie.- OK.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19I definitely wouldn't try it. Sounds WHEELIE painful to me!
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Just like that joke. And also plain dangerous too.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23So don't try this anywhere, ever.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30So, what is Jesse's first stoppie world record attempt going to be?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33The highest rate of speed travelled on the front wheel.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34That's the fun one.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35HE LAUGHS
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Jesse has set himself a very fast target.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42He wants to perform a stoppie while travelling at 150mph.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45This record attempt is so dangerous because
0:02:45 > 0:02:49if Jesse brakes too hard, he'll go headfirst over the handlebars.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53He loves breaking records which is why he's often breaking bones.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55My medical record is extensive.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59In a nutshell, two ankles, a leg, a femur, two shoulders.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04Collarbone. Six ribs, eight fingers, seven toes. 13 concussions.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Despite all the injuries,
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Jesse just can't stoppie which is probably why his mum's worried sick.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15It's very scary if you're a mother.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16In fact, she's so worried,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19she's sticking as close as possible to that ambulance.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Don't let your child do this. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24It's very, very hard.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27BIKE STARTS UP
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Good job.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33To get up to that maximum speed of 150mph and then balance on
0:03:33 > 0:03:38that front wheel, Jesse will need to start from way back in the car park.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Even though this track looks ridiculously long,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42150mph goes away pretty fast.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I'm only going to have about 700 feet at the end of the track
0:03:47 > 0:03:49to stop, after all this.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54So hopefully I don't run off into the gravel and get all messed up.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58You'll be fine, Jesse, they've put cones out!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01This is it. Can he do it?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04OK, here we go. Record attempt time.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Wow, that looks fast.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12But the speed gun will tell us just how fast he was going
0:04:12 > 0:04:13when he did this.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21Incredible! That's 145mph. Amazing!
0:04:22 > 0:04:26So, Jesse's already set a new record but he really wants to hit
0:04:26 > 0:04:31that 150 target, so he's going to flirt with danger one more time.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Here he comes again.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Oh, surely that must have been quicker.- 150.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44It was.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48He hit that target of 150mph and he's done it.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- That's a new Guinness World Record. - Not bad!
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Mum's delighted that he's still in one piece but Jesse's not done yet.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- He'll be back later...- Let's make this record, here he comes!
0:05:03 > 0:05:07..to try and set another world record for the longest stoppie.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11But, first, prepare to be completely weirded out with Al in...
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Uh-oh.- Hah!
0:05:19 > 0:05:22'Meet Ilker Yilmaz from Turkey who's about to attempt to
0:05:22 > 0:05:25'create a Guinness World Record by extinguishing five candles
0:05:25 > 0:05:28'with some milk in a very weird way.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30'Will he squirt milk from his eyes?
0:05:30 > 0:05:31'Spit milk from his mouth?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33'Or shoot milk from his ears?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40'Look away now if you're squeamish because it's pretty gross.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44'Well, here's your answer. eyes it is.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47'We don't know what his special technique is and, frankly,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50'we don't want to know as we never want to try it.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53'Just be sure you use milk for cereal and milkshakes and not for this.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56'This is actually happening.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59'You're watching a grown man trying to set a new world record for
0:05:59 > 0:06:02'the quickest time to extinguish five candles with milk
0:06:02 > 0:06:03'squirted from the eye.'
0:06:03 > 0:06:05DING!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08'I'm pretty sure I've never said that sentence before.'
0:06:08 > 0:06:10DING!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13'So that's two candles out. He is actually good this.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17'That's three candles extinguished but he actually looks in pain.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20'It's almost as if his eyes weren't designed to be
0:06:20 > 0:06:21'milky water pistols(!) Go figure!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24'By the way, an anagram of this man's name,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26'Ilker Yilmaz is...
0:06:27 > 0:06:31'Just thought you might like to know that.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32'He's done it.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34'Two minutes, seven seconds to extinguish
0:06:34 > 0:06:38'five candles by squirting milk from your eye.'
0:06:38 > 0:06:39CHEERING
0:06:39 > 0:06:40'All right.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44'Now he's just milking it. Anyway, time for me to show you something...'
0:06:47 > 0:06:50FANFARE Whaargh!
0:06:50 > 0:06:55'Here in America, as well as police officers we have local sheriffs.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59'They've got the car with flashing lights, the hat,
0:06:59 > 0:07:03'the sunglasses, the badge, the hooves,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06'the fur coat, the big hairy nose.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09'Now I know what you'd say, Ben.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12MIMICS BEN: 'Cor blimey, Al Jackson, you're taking the mickey.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14'Nobody would make a camel a copper!'
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- BEN:- 'Not with that dodgy accent I wouldn't.'
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Meet Deputy Sheriff Bert.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21He is officially a camel of the law.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23FANFARE
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- "BERT" IN AMERICAN ACCENT:- Sir, please remove your hand
0:07:26 > 0:07:28and step away from the vehi-cle.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30And by vehi-cle, I mean me.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34'Camel cops do seem a bit strange, even for you Americans is.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36BERT BELLOWS
0:07:36 > 0:07:40'Bert is not strange, he's a brilliant record holder.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43'He just didn't have time to brush his teeth this morning.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44'Bert stands for...
0:07:46 > 0:07:48'He has the record
0:07:48 > 0:07:51'or the highest-ranking position in law enforcement held by a camel.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- 'His official title is Deputy Sheriff.- Hang on.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58'So let me get this straight.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01'Bert is the only crime-fighting camel in the world?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04'Actually, he visits schools and talks to the kids.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07'So, technically, it's more about preventing crime than fighting it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11'But how do you really know? You haven't asked my questions.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14'What? I thought that was a joke. Are you serious?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17'Totally. I've seen Chief Wiggum in The Simpsons,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21'so I know loads about the police over there but not police camels.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23'Now, ask the questions.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26'Oh, all right. I'll ask Bert's partner, Nancy,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28'seeing as camels can't talk.'
0:08:28 > 0:08:34- Say what?- Can Bert arrest anyone? - No, he doesn't have arrest powers.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37That's not in his job description.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- Does he have a sheriff's hat? - 'It's a fair question.'- No, no, no.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Is this guy for real? - I have to ask this.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46In a high-speed chase,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49does he prefer to drive or does he prefer to be the passenger?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- Er, he'd be the driver.- OK. Well, there you have it.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Those questions are officially stupid.- 'What?!'
0:08:55 > 0:08:59But that doesn't Bert any less officially amazing.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02'He might not wear a hat or drive in high-speed chases
0:09:02 > 0:09:05'but Bert is still pretty unique.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07'And you English are supposed to be the eccentric ones.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12'Oh, we are, Al. We just do it in a more formal way.'
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Here in Britain, we have an animal that ranks even higher.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17In fact, so important is he
0:09:17 > 0:09:21that I'm dressed in my very best in order to meet him.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26He's a knight and he goes by the name of Sir Nils Olav. Toot-toot!
0:09:26 > 0:09:31'And this is him. He lives in Britain and, yes, he's a penguin.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33'But he is no ordinary bird.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37'Sir Nils Olav here holds the record for being the highest-ranking
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- 'penguin.- But that's just silly. At least Bert has an actual job.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- 'Your guy is just wandering around the zoo eating fish.- How dare you!
0:09:44 > 0:09:47'I'll have you know that Nils Olav was adopted by
0:09:47 > 0:09:50'the Norwegian King's Guard in 1972.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52'He served in the army as official mascot.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- 'A penguin? In the army?! - Yes, Al. Pay ATTENTION!
0:09:57 > 0:10:01'And in 2008, after 36 years of uninterrupted service,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03'if you ignore the bit where he died
0:10:03 > 0:10:05'and was replaced by another penguin,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08'Nils Olav became Sir Nils Olav -
0:10:08 > 0:10:11'the King of Norway himself said that Nils was a penguin... '
0:10:11 > 0:10:13..in every way qualified
0:10:13 > 0:10:16to receive the honour and dignity of knighthood.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19'And this is what some of his loyal subjects think of him.'
0:10:19 > 0:10:21OK, guys, give me the skinny while he's not listening.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- What do you really think of Sir Nils Olav?- He is a jolly nice chap.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Doesn't suffer fools gladly. - Very much black and white.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34May I just say that it is lovely to meet you, Sir Nils Olav.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Yes, it must be.- If I could just ask a few questions.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- How does it feel to be a knight? - Well, I don't know. Um, I like it.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Yes, yes, yes.- And can I ask what's your favourite food?
0:10:45 > 0:10:50- Herring.- Surely it should be iceberg-er?- No, no, no. Listen.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- It's definitely herring.- OK. OK.- I'll be done?
0:10:53 > 0:10:58- Sir Nils, thank you ever so much. - Thank goodness that's over.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Commoner.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02It's not every day you find yourself in the presence of such
0:11:02 > 0:11:03a distinguished bird.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Sir Nils is not only a knight but is also officially amazing.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11And get this. He even gave me a gift. A herring.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Great! Just what I wanted.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Mmm...
0:11:18 > 0:11:20'I don't know why he likes them so much.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23'It tasted awful and I was coughing up herring bones for days.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25'Anyway, over to Haruka for...'
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Aiiiee-yah!
0:11:29 > 0:11:30CRUNCH! CLATTER!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Weurgh...
0:11:34 > 0:11:39'This is FujiQ Amusement Park in the shadow of Mount Fuji.'
0:11:39 > 0:11:43And this roller coaster is the reason why I've come here today.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47'Its name - Takabisha - which means "high-flying car" in Japanese.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49'I wonder why(?)
0:11:49 > 0:11:52'Somehow I've stupidly agreed to ride it
0:11:52 > 0:11:56'so I can experience its world-record-holding drop.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59'Nothing like the sound of other people screaming
0:11:59 > 0:12:01'to really calm the nerves.'
0:12:03 > 0:12:04SCREAMING
0:12:04 > 0:12:08I'm really scared. Oh...
0:12:08 > 0:12:10SCREAMING
0:12:10 > 0:12:11'The time has come!
0:12:14 > 0:12:16'I should have asked for a sick bag.'
0:12:21 > 0:12:24'Haruka is too busy screaming but she's meant to be telling you
0:12:24 > 0:12:29'that this roller coaster travels at up to 60mph.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33'Oh, and we told her this was the gentle bit. Whoopsy.'
0:12:33 > 0:12:37OK, OK, OK. Now, the scariest part is coming up.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43It's the record-breaking ride because it has the steepest,
0:12:43 > 0:12:49vertical drop and it is 121 degrees!
0:12:49 > 0:12:50HARUKA SCREAMS
0:12:50 > 0:12:55'When I get to the top, that record-breaking drop awaits me.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59'The reason this is the world's steepest roller coaster
0:12:59 > 0:13:03'is because during the drop you actually go back in on yourself
0:13:03 > 0:13:04'as do your insides.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07'It's a lovely view of Mount Fuji at the top,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10'not that I can really appreciate it right now.'
0:13:10 > 0:13:11SHE SCREAMS AND WHIMPERS
0:13:11 > 0:13:15No way! No...
0:13:15 > 0:13:18SCREAMING
0:13:18 > 0:13:22'It's just getting embarrassing now. Did I really scream that much?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26'I think it's fair to say the best thing about this roller coaster
0:13:26 > 0:13:28'is that it only lasts two minutes.'
0:13:28 > 0:13:31It was this much fun and this much scary.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34No... SCREAMING
0:13:34 > 0:13:37It's the officially amazing ride in the world.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39No... SCREAMING
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Next...
0:13:45 > 0:13:46CRUNCHING
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Thwrrpt!
0:13:47 > 0:13:48COW MOOS
0:13:50 > 0:13:53'This is Steve - Sizzlin' Steve to you and me.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55'Before you go thinking he looks like your average
0:13:55 > 0:13:57'kind of guy, you're wrong.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01'He's a record-breaking demon and he does all his attempts from here -
0:14:01 > 0:14:05'record-breaking HQ, otherwise known as his student flat in Portsmouth.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08'And what's more, they're Guinness World Records that you - yes, you -
0:14:08 > 0:14:10'can try to.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14'So what has Steve got for me today, I wonder?'
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Ho-ho! Look at this, it's Sizzlin' Steve, literally sizzling.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22You couldn't make this stuff up. Steve, what's the record?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24It's for the most ping-pong balls
0:14:24 > 0:14:26bounced into a pint glass in one minute.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Is that it? That sounds pretty easy to me.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- 'Uh-oh, I think I've upset the Sizzler.'- The record is five.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35'Well, that's told me.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37'So Steve will be aiming to bounce more than
0:14:37 > 0:14:39'five balls into a pint glass.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44'Those sausages will have to wait, there are records to be attempted.'
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Steve, are you feeling good?- I am.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50'Official adjudicator Claire is ready to time the attempt,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52'keep count of the balls
0:14:52 > 0:14:54'and make sure Steve is sizzling within the rules.'
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Claire, what does Steve have to focus on
0:14:56 > 0:14:58in order to get this record?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00There's two things, Steve.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03First of all, the balls must bounce once before they go that glass.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Number two, you must be standing behind this line at all times.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10If you cross over that line, the attempt is immediately disqualified.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13You have one minute. The record to beat is five.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Ping pong.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16'That's one in already.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19'Steve must be two metres from the glass otherwise
0:15:19 > 0:15:22'he'll be disqualified.' Aim for the pint glass, Steve.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27That's the key. 'Steve is going for quantity over quality.'
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Almost. Almost, Steve. Come on!
0:15:30 > 0:15:32'And lobbing loads of balls
0:15:32 > 0:15:34'in the vague hope that some will go in.'
0:15:34 > 0:15:40Five, four, three, two, one. Time's up.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43'Oh, no, devastation for the Sizzler.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45'Time is up and he's fluffed it, just two balls bounced in.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Stephen Sizzle!
0:15:47 > 0:15:50'But all is not lost. He's going to give it another go.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53'And to help him get into the right frame of mind,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55'I think a bit of ping pong Zen time is in order.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58CHINESE FLUTES AND CHIMES
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Ping and pong.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08And ping...and pong.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12And pong...and ping.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18'OK, that's quite enough of that. Back to the challenge.'
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Three, two, one. Bounce!
0:16:23 > 0:16:25It's already a quick start.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28'But there is some way to go to beat the record of five.'
0:16:28 > 0:16:31It's all about working out angles in this game.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34And bouncing balls into cups. But mainly angles.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Oh! 'He's got two in now.'
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Oh, ho-ho!- Three seconds. - Halfway there. Oh, that's four.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Change the glass!
0:16:47 > 0:16:48The glass change is allowed,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51so Steve has room to bounce more balls in.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Only one more to go and you've equalled the record.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Two to break it. He is sizzling.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59'Oh, look at that!'
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Oh, Steve!
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Come on, sizzle for me.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Two. - 'Ping pong precision!'
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Steve! Steve! You sizzled and you fizzled.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15And look at that chin - it's a chisel. But did you get the record?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I think he got six. Claire?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Well, Steve, the record you had to beat was five.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25You just achieved six in one minute. That's a new world record!
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Congratulations, Sizzlin' Steve.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- How does it feel, sir? Look at that!- I'm over the moon.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I didn't think I'd get that one, so I'm pleased with that.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Congratulations.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37You are obviously officially amazing and, who knows,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40maybe someday you too will be officially amazing.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Because you're never too young to get a record
0:17:42 > 0:17:45and you're never too old either, as this next bunch all proved.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Let's get funky.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50# Waaaah
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- # When you look at me - What do you see?
0:17:53 > 0:17:54# I see an OAP
0:17:54 > 0:17:57ALL: # Wah-ooh
0:17:57 > 0:17:59# Let me sing it loud
0:17:59 > 0:18:02# OAP, it stands for old and proud
0:18:02 > 0:18:05# Well, how brave are you? Would you bungee from on high?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09# This here is the oldest person to give that thing a try
0:18:09 > 0:18:13# His name is Mohr Keet and he knew how to get his kicks
0:18:13 > 0:18:17# Because he was still bungee jumping at the age of 96
0:18:17 > 0:18:20# Now everybody knows that you can travel in an aeroplane
0:18:20 > 0:18:24# But Tom Lackey was 85 with ambition on the brain
0:18:24 > 0:18:28# He stood up on the wing while a plane did a loop-the-loop
0:18:28 > 0:18:30# Do you think when you're that old
0:18:30 > 0:18:32# You will be quite so super duper?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34# Waaah! When you're over 65?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- # Won't you tell me - What you're going to be?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39# I'll be an OAP
0:18:39 > 0:18:41ALL: # Waaah! Oooh!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43# I'm the coolest in the crowd
0:18:43 > 0:18:46# OAP, it stands for old and proud
0:18:46 > 0:18:50# How would you feel about doing a really high abseil?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53# Well, Doris here was 98 but she was one cool female
0:18:53 > 0:18:57# From 60 metres up she made it back down to the ground
0:18:57 > 0:19:01# Is she the coolest old adventurous woman to be found?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04ALL: # Waaah! Woooh!
0:19:04 > 0:19:07# When you look at me what do you see?
0:19:07 > 0:19:08# I see an OAP
0:19:08 > 0:19:11ALL: # Waaah!
0:19:11 > 0:19:12# Well, let me sing it loud
0:19:12 > 0:19:15# OAP, it stands for old and proud
0:19:15 > 0:19:18ALL: # Oooh... #
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Well, I don't know about anyone else,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23but I'm an OAP who needs a cup of tea.
0:19:23 > 0:19:29Far too strenuous this bungee jumping...loop-the-looping...
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I really should settle down.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36'Part two.'
0:19:38 > 0:19:39SCREAMING
0:19:42 > 0:19:45'Welcome back to North Carolina in America.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48'Earlier on, we saw Jesse Toler bag himself a new Guinness
0:19:48 > 0:19:53'World Record doing this at a colossal 150mph.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57'But Jesse wants more so he's turned his attention from speed to
0:19:57 > 0:20:01'distance, to see how far he can travel doing a stoppie.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04'Now, we've already seen that a motorbike stoppie
0:20:04 > 0:20:07'is when you balance on the front wheel rather than the back.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10'And we know it's extremely dangerous and should never be tried.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15'To go far in this distance record, here's what Jesse needs to remember.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18'The stoppie starts when the rear wheel leaves the ground and ends
0:20:18 > 0:20:22'when it touches back down again. Simple but dangerous.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27'For this record, Jesse needs to beat a distance of 873 feet which,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30'to us Brits, is around 266 metres.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34'For the benefit of an excitable crowd, Jesse beat this distance
0:20:34 > 0:20:36'but only just.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38'The track here in front of the crowd is all chewed up
0:20:38 > 0:20:40'by monster trucks and dragsters.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42'So Jesse did another attempt to try
0:20:42 > 0:20:45'and go further on this smoother tarmac
0:20:45 > 0:20:47'at the other end of the strip. Here's how he got on.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53'Look at that for blistering pace.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58'He touches the front brakes and he's up onto the front wheel,
0:20:58 > 0:21:00'but how long can he balance for?
0:21:01 > 0:21:07'He's sailed past the 266 metres target and he's still rolling.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11'304 metres! He's absolutely smashed it and he's still going!
0:21:13 > 0:21:17'He's going to run out of track at this rate.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20'Ooh, every centimetre counts.'
0:21:21 > 0:21:24THEY CHEER
0:21:28 > 0:21:31'I think that means he's happy. Incredible.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35'Let's get the official verdict from adjudicator Freddie.'
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- It looked pretty far to me. Was it?- It was indeed.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44It was actually 1,320.3 feet.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47'Or, as we would say, 403 metres.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50'That's just over one lap of an athletics track,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52'all balancing on his front wheel.'
0:21:52 > 0:21:56So Jesse Toler is now a double Guinness World Record holder.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Congratulations.- Thank you.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03Can we remove the sunglasses and get a bit of Jesse Toler emotion?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05This is special, just for you.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Look at that, the eyes of the champion.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Not just officially amazing but doubly officially amazing.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Two times.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21'Crikey, that's double world record holder Jesse Toler!
0:22:22 > 0:22:25'So let's leave this sun-drenched speedway now
0:22:25 > 0:22:27'and head to a dingy dungeon for...'
0:22:32 > 0:22:33SNAP!
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Ta-da! Ow!
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Oh...
0:22:36 > 0:22:38RATTLING CHAINS
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Hi! Excuse the limping back there.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Picked up a few blisters off these chains.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51And if you're wondering why I'm wearing all this kind of clobber,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53it's because I'm about to meet
0:22:53 > 0:22:55someone who is an expert in escapology.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58'This is Sofia Romero.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02'Escapology is the art of, well, escaping from things.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07'And today, Sofia will be taking on, or rather off, a straitjacket.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10'OK, can I get a key now, please?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13'The straitjacket has been around since the 18th century
0:23:13 > 0:23:16'and although it isn't used in the UK any more, it was designed to
0:23:16 > 0:23:19'restrain dangerous patients and criminals and prevent them
0:23:19 > 0:23:22'from being violent towards themselves and others.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25'The jackets has a strap that passes through the legs to stop
0:23:25 > 0:23:28'the person wearing it simply slipping it off over their head.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31'There are buckles at the back and extra long sleeves are also
0:23:31 > 0:23:35'tied behind the wearer, making it very difficult to escape.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37'Difficult but not impossible.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38'And this is why Sofia
0:23:38 > 0:23:41'is already a world-record-holding escapologist.'
0:23:41 > 0:23:45OK, Sofia, on my count, get yourself out of that straitjacket.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Three, two, one, go!
0:23:49 > 0:23:52CLOCK TICKS
0:23:53 > 0:23:54BEN LAUGHS
0:23:54 > 0:23:57That's under five seconds.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59'That was Sofia's demonstration of
0:23:59 > 0:24:01'why she currently holds the world record
0:24:01 > 0:24:06'for the fastest time to escape from a straitjacket at just 4.69 seconds.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11'Today, Sofia will need speed and stamina as she tries to get another
0:24:11 > 0:24:13'Guinness World Record for the most
0:24:13 > 0:24:15'straitjacket escapes in one hour.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16'And these are the rules.'
0:24:21 > 0:24:25'And to get this new record, Sofia needs to escape at least 25 times.'
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Right, well, the time has come.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29We've got Sofia and her assistant, Roger.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I'm also joined by Manu, the official adjudicator.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- If you are ready, do you want to do the counting?- Yes. OK, on my mark.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Three, two, one, go.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41'We're off and running.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44'Assistant Roger secures the buckles at the back, the leg strap
0:24:44 > 0:24:45'and the arms.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48'Adjudicator Manu checks it over.'
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Go.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54'He's happy and Sofia attempts her first escape.'
0:24:59 > 0:25:03There you go, it makes it look easy. That's the first one of the hour.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05'Here she goes again.'
0:25:05 > 0:25:10Now, remember, the record is to get 25 escapes in an hour.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Now, I reckon if I had 25 hours, I couldn't make one escape.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16'It may only take five seconds for Sofia
0:25:16 > 0:25:20'to escape from the straitjacket but it takes almost a full minute
0:25:20 > 0:25:24'to get her buckled back into it and checked to be ready to go again.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25'While Sofia carries on,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28'let's have a rummage around in our old film box.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30'Have a look at this!
0:25:30 > 0:25:33'Only the greatest and most famous escapologist of all time,
0:25:33 > 0:25:34'Harry Houdini.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39'Over 100 years ago, Houdini specialised in straitjacket escapes,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42'though he often did so while suspended upside down from cranes
0:25:42 > 0:25:45'and buildings. Look at that!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48'Thankfully, Sofia has gone for a safer option to attempt
0:25:48 > 0:25:50'this record.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52'But he's done it! Attaboy, Harry!
0:25:52 > 0:25:56'So five minutes left on the clock, Sofia hasn't got long.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59'Can she get a new world record?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04'I'd love to tell you how she does it
0:26:04 > 0:26:07'but Sofia's technique is top secret.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12'All we know is, it involves speed, coordination and repetition.'
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Five, four, three... 'She's almost out of time.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16'She's not going to get this one.'
0:26:16 > 0:26:18..two, one. That's the hour.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:26:20 > 0:26:22How many?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26'So she managed to keep going for the entire 60 minutes
0:26:26 > 0:26:29'but was she fast enough to beat the target of 25 escapes?
0:26:29 > 0:26:33'Let's find out from official adjudicator Manu.'
0:26:33 > 0:26:35In one hour you managed...
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- ..49 escapes.- Really? - Congratulations.- Wow!
0:26:42 > 0:26:44'She's absolutely smashed it.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47'With 49 escapes, she's almost doubled the target.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50'She's officially lost for words.'
0:26:51 > 0:26:52I'm speechless.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56'That's the fourth new world record on today's show.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59'See you next time for more officially amazing adventures.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02# Yeah, Jesse rode that motorbike
0:27:02 > 0:27:04# Breaking records with the front wheel
0:27:04 > 0:27:06# Both stoppies were strong One fast, one long
0:27:06 > 0:27:09# This dude is the real deal
0:27:09 > 0:27:13# Sizzlin' Steve returned and a ping-pong record is what he earned
0:27:13 > 0:27:17# I thought Sofia couldn't hack it but she got out of 49 straitjackets
0:27:17 > 0:27:20# And don't get the hump with this guy or he will arrest you... #
