0:00:25 > 0:00:29Hello and welcome to Officially Amazing, home to some of
0:00:29 > 0:00:32the biggest record attempts on the planet.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Today's incredible official Guinness World Record attempts include...
0:00:38 > 0:00:41We meet some daring doggies in America, as they take to the skies,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43to try to break a record.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48You won't believe this unique unicycling Usain Bolt.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53And our three competitive warriors fight it out again,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56in a record they'll never forget.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I mean, look at all those reminders.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00But first...
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Agh! Ooh!
0:01:08 > 0:01:13This man is about to attempt a record. This man can fly.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Could he be a superhero?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21BOOMING VOICE: 'You at home. Yes, you.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25'Do you dream of being a superhero? Do you wish you could
0:01:25 > 0:01:29'leap over tall buildings in a single bound?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32'Until now, superpowers were difficult to come by.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35'Either you had to be bitten by a radioactive spider,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38'or you had to risk being exposed to deadly alien space rocks
0:01:38 > 0:01:41'from the Planet Zog.'
0:01:43 > 0:01:45It's all right. I'm fine.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49'Now, you, too, can become a flying superhero, with ease.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55'All you need is a cape, some eyewear and one ginormous hairdryer.'
0:01:57 > 0:02:01# Wings are made to fly. #
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Yes, flying without wings is no longer science fiction,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08thanks to the art of indoor skydiving.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13And this is Steve Howes, an expert at the sport.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Steve... Whoa! Look at him go!
0:02:16 > 0:02:20This vertical wind tunnel recreates the effect
0:02:20 > 0:02:23of freefalling from a plane by using a turbine to blow air upwards,
0:02:23 > 0:02:29at around 120mph at, round and through Steve.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Ooh! Good pose.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35You could say that nobody passes wind as well as Steve!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Sorry.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39He's here to attempt an officially amazing
0:02:39 > 0:02:41indoor skydiving world record.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Talk me through what you're hoping to do?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47I'm hoping to break the current world record for the most
0:02:47 > 0:02:51amount of back somersaults in one minute in a wind tunnel.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53How many spins do you have to beat?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57The current world record is 22 back somersaults in one minute,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59so that's what I've got to beat.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Here's the big question, because I've had a look,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I'd quite like to have a go.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Can the quiff withstand it?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I think it might look a little bit worse by the time
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- you've come out of there. - Impossible.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15My quiff is more than a match for any wind tunnel.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Oi!
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Thank you.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21But, unfortunately, for health and safety reasons, Steve won't let me
0:03:21 > 0:03:25into the wind tunnel in my cape. So, time for a quick outfit change.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Ready.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33CHIRPING
0:03:33 > 0:03:34CLATTER
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Agh!- Sorry, madam.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42'OK. I must be at one with wind. I need to overcome wind.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45'I have to break wind.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46'Sorry again.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49'Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53'No, of course not. It's me. Steve, this is brilliant.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58'Hang on, why are we holding hands? What are you doing? Hey, get off!
0:03:58 > 0:04:03'Hang on. Ooh! Oh, no, no, no, no! Agh!
0:04:03 > 0:04:07'All right, Steve, can I get out now? Agh!
0:04:07 > 0:04:11'Yes, well, now I've shown Steve how it's done, it's time for him
0:04:11 > 0:04:13'to get ready for his windy record attempt.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15'We'll be back shortly to see how he gets on.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17'In the meantime, here's Haruka,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20'with another dizzyingly daring record attempt.'
0:04:26 > 0:04:30WHEEZING
0:04:30 > 0:04:33'We are in Beijing for this next truly incredible record
0:04:33 > 0:04:35'which, as the presenter is explaining,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38'involves this extraordinary contraption
0:04:38 > 0:04:39'which is better known as...'
0:04:44 > 0:04:46'Ooh, lovely(!) It's essentially a fairground ride...'
0:04:49 > 0:04:52'This is Wan and Zhang. These two acrobats are going to use...'
0:04:55 > 0:04:58'..to attempt the record of the most rotations on...'
0:05:00 > 0:05:01'..in three minutes.'
0:05:01 > 0:05:04'I wouldn't want to spend three seconds on that thing.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07'Loving the Lycra onesies, fellas, and the red waistcoat(!)
0:05:07 > 0:05:08'Very fetching.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13'I'd have chosen a safety harness myself, but what do I know?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17'Zhang gets inside one of the wheels, while Wan has a better idea.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21'Yes, he is on the outside.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23'Whoa!
0:05:23 > 0:05:25'The adjudicator counts us down
0:05:25 > 0:05:27'and they're off. For this record
0:05:27 > 0:05:29'Wan in his waistcoat is going to try
0:05:29 > 0:05:33'and go... Agh! I actually thought he'd fallen off then. Oh!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36'He's going to try to go round the outside of his wheel
0:05:36 > 0:05:40'over 31 times in three minutes in order to set a new world record.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46'He has to run on the way down, to keep himself upright.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48'He's been powered around by Zhang
0:05:48 > 0:05:51'who's doing a very good hamster impression.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55'Neither acrobat is wearing a safety harness and... Whoa!
0:05:55 > 0:05:56'It's not called...'
0:05:57 > 0:05:58'..for nothing.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01'They can't afford to lose concentration even for a... Whoa!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03'Even for a second.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07'Whoa! That's a big one.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09'And the time is up.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12'That is one of the most amazing stunts I've ever seen
0:06:12 > 0:06:15'and I hope, for their sake, that they've got a record.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20'And the adjudicator announces that they have, indeed, got a new
0:06:20 > 0:06:23'Guinness world record, with an incredible 42 revolutions
0:06:23 > 0:06:27'in three minutes. Congratulations to Wan and Zhang.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31'Flabbergasting, unbelievable, highly dangerous
0:06:31 > 0:06:33'and officially amazing.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35'Fortunately...'
0:06:37 > 0:06:40'..didn't live up to its name and everyone is still alive.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42'Let's move on from rotating in the air back to, erm...
0:06:42 > 0:06:45'rotating in the air.'
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Part two.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55GROANS
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Thanks, Haruka. We are back with air junkie Steve Howes.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02He's attempting to perform as many backward somersaults as he can
0:07:02 > 0:07:07while skydiving indoors in a wind tunnel in one minute.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Here are the rules. Only complete backward rotations are valid.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14And if he touches the side of the tunnel that rotation won't count.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Three, two, one.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19HOOTER
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Confident start from Steve, there.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29'The record he needs to break is 22.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35'Steve is making this look easy.' That's ten.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37'But I can assure you that controlling your movements
0:07:37 > 0:07:42'in winds of up to 120mph is extremely difficult.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47'It saps all of your strength. Steve must be exhausted.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51'OK, final push now. Come on, Steve.'
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Stop, stop, stop.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Wow! Wow! Look at that!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01'Everyone looks very impressed, but he did touch a wall there.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04'Will that last rotation count? Has he done enough?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08'Let's go to official adjudicator, Kirsty, to find out.'
0:08:08 > 0:08:10OK, the current record was 22.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I had to disqualify one somersault, that was your large tumble.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18The record that you achieved was 40 somersaults, making you
0:08:18 > 0:08:20a new Guinness World Record holder.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24'40 somersaults in a minute. What a hero.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28'We've seen a man fly. I've also seen a housefly!
0:08:28 > 0:08:33'I've even seen a dragonfly! But have you ever seen a dog fly?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36'In America, the skies are filled them.'
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Whoa!
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Here in Florida my buddy Ben is having a lovely relaxing
0:08:47 > 0:08:48snooze in the sun.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53But if he keeps doing that, he's going to miss all the cool stuff.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Should we wake him?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57That's what I thought.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Cue the hounds!
0:08:58 > 0:09:01# Bow-wow-wow Yippee-yo Yippee-yay
0:09:01 > 0:09:04# Where are my dogs at? Bark with me now
0:09:04 > 0:09:07# Bow-wow-wow Yippee-yo Yippee-yay. #
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- I love my job.- Al! Talk about being "terrier-ised."
0:09:13 > 0:09:15'This is what is known as Dock Jumping.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16'Dogs leap from a fixed dock into
0:09:16 > 0:09:18'a swimming pool, aiming to get
0:09:18 > 0:09:22'either as high as they can or as far as they can.'
0:09:25 > 0:09:27'Of course, these incredible canines...
0:09:27 > 0:09:29'Hang on, that's a funny-looking dog.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36'That pathetic jump was actually buy "Dalmatian Jackson."'
0:09:36 > 0:09:38'Oh so funny, Ben(!)
0:09:38 > 0:09:42'But I've got news for you, Scooby-Doo.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45'I'm not the only one going into the water today.'
0:09:45 > 0:09:46'Oh, dear.'
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Jump, doggie, jump. You ready?- No.- Go get it, boy.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56'Look at him soar like a big furry idiot.'
0:09:56 > 0:10:00'Well, Al, dogs can jump miles higher than us.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03'We'll dry off and leave this to the experts.'
0:10:03 > 0:10:06'And here they are, attempting the long jump.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10'What athletic, graceful, truly soggy doggies they are.'
0:10:10 > 0:10:13'Today, though, we'll concentrate on what the dog jumping
0:10:13 > 0:10:14'fraternity call...'
0:10:16 > 0:10:18'Where the dogs try to jump as high as possible
0:10:18 > 0:10:21and grab the hanging lure or knock it down.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25'The highest dock jump ever recorded was 2.5m,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29'but no adjudicator was present to make it official, so to get a new
0:10:29 > 0:10:35'Guinness World Record today our dogs would need to jump 2.5m or above.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38'Now, over to our expert commentators.'
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Welcome to Sniffy Bum Stadium.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48I'm Pat Myhead. I'm joined by Chuck.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50That's right, Pat.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- I'm Chuck Aballandill-Fetchit. - The three competitors
0:10:52 > 0:10:55hoping to break the record at Extreme Vertical are...
0:10:57 > 0:10:59The question is, Chuck,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02do these dogs have the pedigree for record-breaking?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04First up is Yeager.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12When did you realise that Yeager could jump like this?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14We could see that he had a special ability
0:11:14 > 0:11:15when we were doing Frisbee stuff.
0:11:15 > 0:11:21But will he prove top dog today? They've set the heights at 2.5m.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27'He hasn't made it. He's just not done his homework.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29'Or maybe his owner ate it.'
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- AL:- 'Ben, really, man(!)
0:11:32 > 0:11:35'Moving on, last attempt for Yeager now.'
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Big splash, no cash. Well, Chuck, next is Bo.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44When he's not dog jumping he...
0:11:48 > 0:11:49..where he likes to take the lead.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Bo seems pretty laid-back.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Is Bo jumping around the house all the time?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57No. I can't even get him to catch a toy outside the docking.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- AL:- Really? - He doesn't like to swim.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I think he could win this thing, but I may be barking up the wrong tree
0:12:05 > 0:12:09'So close there, Al. Let's look at the replay.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11'Great technique, but what went wrong?'
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- AL:- 'He didn't jump high enough.'
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Great insight there, Al(!) Here's his second jump.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Oh, no, it's a no-go for Bo.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24His owner is going to have a bone to pick with him.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28And last in the cavalcade of canines is Griz.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Do you have a special training regimen that you have to do
0:12:37 > 0:12:39or a special diet?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Well, I mean, diet is real important,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44training is really important. All that stuff goes into it.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46But it's a lot of natural ability, too.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50'In practice earlier, he easily equalled the world record of 2.5m,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52'but it wasn't recorded as an official jump.'
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Al:- 'This next job will be official and he's
0:12:56 > 0:13:02'so confident, he's going to go for a NEW world record, of 2.6m.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04'Come on, Griz!'
0:13:15 > 0:13:16ALL: Oh!
0:13:16 > 0:13:21- CHUCK:- By the barrels of St Bernard, that was close.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26He knocked the lure with his wet nose, but it didn't come off.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28He'll be one sick puppy tonight.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31I'm sure Griz will shake off this disappointment
0:13:31 > 0:13:34and be back to leap another day.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39And what a day it's been here at Sniffy Bum... Oh, a squirrel.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Well our dogs didn't manage much in the way of record-breaking,

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Last series, we admired some rambunctiously ravenous
0:15:57 > 0:16:03record breakers, but this time, we're going globally gargantuan.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Yes, we've combed the crust of the Earth to find three record-breaking
0:16:07 > 0:16:12titans to represent the UK, Japan and the USA.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15In each show, they'll attempt to break a record that you, too,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17can try at home.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Together, they are...
0:16:23 > 0:16:26In the first challenge Japan's Mr Cherry prevailed at moving
0:16:26 > 0:16:30the most water with his hands and gained a new world record.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32HE ROARS
0:16:32 > 0:16:36In the second, US Ray star-jumped his way to glory, also breaking
0:16:36 > 0:16:38a world record in the process.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40HE WHOOPS
0:16:40 > 0:16:42That makes the current score,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Japan, 1, USA, 1,
0:16:44 > 0:16:45and UK...
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Nil?!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51But Sizzling Steve has the opportunity to redeem himself
0:16:51 > 0:16:55for Queen and country, as we start today's sticky challenge in the UK.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Sticky notes. Handy little devils.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Perfect for remembering the important things in life,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06such as your groceries,
0:17:06 > 0:17:10and reminding you to do those things that you just keep putting off.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- AL:- 'Hey, I can read that.'
0:17:12 > 0:17:16But we've got an even better use for those tiny little squares.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Yes, we're going to be attempting a world record, that involves
0:17:20 > 0:17:23sticking as many of these bad boys to your face as you can in a minute.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Steve is stuck in last place at the moment.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33So, does he have any strategies of note for today's challenge?
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Do you need a massive face in order to stick sticky notes on?
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- The bigger the face, the better. - What about natural perspiration?
0:17:41 > 0:17:45The pressure is getting to you. All of sudden, sweat beads.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- There's nothing you can do about it.- No?- No.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Searing insight by the Sizzler there(!) Let's get the rules.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Sticky notes must be stuck to the skin, so not on the hair
0:17:58 > 0:17:59or each other.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03They must be placed on the face one at a time.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05And the notes must stay stuck to the face for a minimum
0:18:05 > 0:18:08of ten seconds after the time is up.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12The world record to beat is 55 sticky notes in a minute.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16And don't forget, you can try this at home.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Are you ready to stick it to them, Steve?- Yes.- On my count, then.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Three, two, one. Stick it.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26It's concentration isn't it?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30'Sizzler is sporting a rather fetching headband.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33'Not only does it keep the hair out of his face,
0:18:33 > 0:18:34'it's a fashion statement.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38'A statement which says, "I have very little interest in fashion."'
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Come on, Sizzler.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43For Queen and country, Steve.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47'When the specs are off, you know the Sizzler means business.'
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Getting to the difficult nose area now.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51'One has dropped.'
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Come on, Steve.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56'And another one bites the dust.'
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Come on, Sizzler. Five, four, three...
0:18:58 > 0:19:00'Oh, no, has he ran out of face?'
0:19:00 > 0:19:03..two, one. Stop.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07'One loses grip right at the end. That won't count.'
0:19:11 > 0:19:15'These notes have to stay stuck to his face for at least ten seconds.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17'We'll be back to see how he did shortly,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20'but for now, it's over to Japan and the almighty Mr Cherry...'
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Are you ready?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24'..and US Ray in the USA...'
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Ready, Ray?- Ready.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29'..to see how they handle this sticky situation.'
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Three, two, one. Go.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39'US Ray and Mr Cherry are adopting very different tactics here.'
0:19:39 > 0:19:43'Cherry is going for the sticky note beard approach.'
0:19:43 > 0:19:48'My boy Ray is going for the top of his face first.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50'There are no right or wrong answers here.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54'But I can't imagine covering his eyes is a great idea.'
0:19:54 > 0:19:58'Mr Cherry, looking for some spare face.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01'A high-octane record attempt, if ever I saw one.'
0:20:03 > 0:20:04And that's the minute.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08The notes need to stay put for at least ten seconds,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10but who stuck the most to their face?
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Let's just enjoy their papery majesty for a moment.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16# I'm stuck on you... #
0:20:16 > 0:20:17And, stop.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Remember, 55 is the record to beat.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24The results are in -
0:20:24 > 0:20:29in third place, it's America and US Ray with 15 sticky notes.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I don't know what they're high-fiving for - that was rubbish!
0:20:34 > 0:20:38In second place, it's Japan's Mr Cherry with 18.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40HE MAKES INDISTINCT NOISE
0:20:40 > 0:20:45So, that means today's victor is the UK's very own Sizzling Steve.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51But, has he got a brand-new Guinness World Record?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56PHRRRT!
0:20:56 > 0:20:58No. He got 19.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Way off the 55 required, but still a victory for the UK
0:21:01 > 0:21:04and now the scores are even, with one win each.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08And Steve is clearly over the moon at thrashing his opponents.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12There's only one way to cheer him up and that's with something...
0:21:18 > 0:21:20EXPLOSION
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Here on Officially Amazing, we love extreme sports.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25In the past,
0:21:25 > 0:21:30we've seen a man pop balloons using a water-powered jetpack.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33We've seen a guy do multiple backflips on a scooter.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38And we've certainly seen crazy Germans doing extreme things
0:21:38 > 0:21:40with stools before.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43But today, I'm here in Kaiserslautern in Germany
0:21:43 > 0:21:47on a specially-designed course, to witness a brand-new record attempt.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It's a sport that's so downright extreme
0:21:50 > 0:21:53that you'd need nerves of steel and underpants
0:21:53 > 0:21:57of pure titanium, in order to even think about attempting it!
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...
0:22:01 > 0:22:07extreme freestyle unicycling!
0:22:11 > 0:22:14This record hunter is uber-unicyclist Lutz Eichholz.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21A student, who tries to spend every spare moment on his wicked
0:22:21 > 0:22:23one-wheeled wonder steed.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Look at him go.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28As well as being a genius at off-road
0:22:28 > 0:22:33and trial unicyclist...most of the time, Lutz holds a world record
0:22:33 > 0:22:37for the longest distance travelled over beer bottles by unicycle.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Over 13 metres!
0:22:42 > 0:22:47But today, he has his uni-sights set on a different, incredi-record,
0:22:47 > 0:22:51for the fastest time to jump over ten objects while on a unicycle -
0:22:51 > 0:22:56and those objects are hurdles, 73cm high.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Oh, steady on, Lutz!
0:23:00 > 0:23:05It's hard enough cycling on two wheels, how does he manage on one?
0:23:05 > 0:23:06I'm going to have a go.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Elbow pads - check!
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Wrist guards - check!
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Quiffed helmet - check!
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Lutz, is there anything else that I need to remember?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19The most important thing is, you have to be at one with the unicycle.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Ah.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- ECHOING VOICE IN HEAD:- 'Yes, I must get to know my unicycle.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28'I do like this echo. Hello?'
0:23:34 > 0:23:36# Close to you
0:23:39 > 0:23:43# Wah-ah-ah-ah
0:23:43 > 0:23:47# Close to you. #
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Ben! Ben!
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Lutz, I think I'm ready.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Can you teach me how to unicycle?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I can try.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Pedal?- Yeah.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04A unicycle has four main parts - the seat, the frame, the wheel
0:24:04 > 0:24:05and the pedals.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09It's much simpler than a bicycle, but much harder to ride.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10I'm really struggling.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Don't let go, Lutz, don't let go!- I won't.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17I think my shoulder's out of its socket - is that normal?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19First trick - 360!
0:24:19 > 0:24:21It's a good job I wasn't born in Japan,
0:24:21 > 0:24:25where learning to ride a unicycle is part of the curriculum.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Let's face it, I'm never going to be any good.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Here are the rules -
0:24:29 > 0:24:32he must complete the course within two and a half minutes
0:24:32 > 0:24:35and he mustn't make any contact with any of the hurdles.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38So, it's a case of...
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Here we are. The only hurdle standing between Lutz
0:24:44 > 0:24:46and a new world record is, well, ten hurdles.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Lutz, how you feeling?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- I'm nervous, but I'm also excited. - Fantastic, great attitude.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53We're joined by official adjudicator Mark.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55If you're ready, Lutz,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59let's count you in for some record-breaking unicycling glory.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Three, two, one - go!
0:25:03 > 0:25:05First hurdle coming up...
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Look at that! He clears it easily,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10but I've got a feeling the gap between bike
0:25:10 > 0:25:13and hurdle will get smaller as he gets more exhausted.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Straight into the second one.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Oh, right in the saddlebags!
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Come on, Lutz!
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Excellent.
0:25:28 > 0:25:2930 seconds gone.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36He's making cracking progress at the moment.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Keep this up, could be a record.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42One minute, Lutz.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46He's at the halfway mark, with just a minute and 30 seconds left,
0:25:46 > 0:25:50but he's starting to take more time over each hurdle -
0:25:50 > 0:25:54building up the energy as much as he can before each jump.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Remember, Lutz needs to get over all ten hurdles
0:26:00 > 0:26:04without touching them, in under two and a half minutes.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06He's going well, but it's going to be tight.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11Ooh! That was really close to hitting the hurdle. Come on, Lutz!
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Just two to go!
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Well done, Lutz.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21He's eyeing up the final hurdle,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24building up one last burst of strength.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Time is ticking away.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Come on, Lutz.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Oh!
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Yes!
0:26:35 > 0:26:40All ten hurdles are clear, but did he complete the course in time?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46A great performance, was it a world record? Mark?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Well, in order for it to be a record today,
0:26:48 > 0:26:53he would have had to have beaten a time of two minutes and 30 seconds.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58I can reveal, Lutz, that today, you managed to do it in a time of...
0:26:58 > 0:27:00one minute 46.44 seconds,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03so that is a brand-new Guinness World Records title!
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Congratulations.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Ooh, he's absolutely smashed it!
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Incredible!
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Well, it looks like that's all we've got time for -
0:27:14 > 0:27:16what a fantastic way to end the show.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20See you next time, for more Officially Amazing
0:27:20 > 0:27:22record attempts like these.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27# Well, he could have been stuck in a sticky spot
0:27:27 > 0:27:30# But Sizzling Steve came through
0:27:30 > 0:27:34# He didn't get a record but he kept his pride by beating the other two
0:27:34 > 0:27:38# We all held our breath as Zang and Wang beat the wheel of death
0:27:38 > 0:27:41# And the dog's attempt went kaputz
0:27:41 > 0:27:42# But we jumped with joy for Lutz
0:27:42 > 0:27:46# And Steve's backflipping skills were simply beautiful
0:27:46 > 0:27:51# It's all Officially Amazing. #
