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

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