Woo-hoo!

0:00:230:00:25

Welcome to Officially Amazing, the place to come for the world's

0:00:280:00:31

greatest records and record attempts.

0:00:310:00:34

Today, we're in El Paso, Texas,

0:00:340:00:36

for a flipping amazing record involving that lady right there.

0:00:360:00:41

Flipping.

0:00:410:00:42

But before all that, here's what else we have for you today.

0:00:420:00:45

Thank you, cheerleader Al.

0:00:450:00:47

Yup, we have some awesome Guinness World Record attempts, including...

0:00:470:00:51

..our three competitors take on each other

0:00:520:00:55

and their patience as they try to build houses of cards.

0:00:550:00:59

Banging break-dancer Roxy takes on a head spinning record that will

0:01:010:01:05

both bedazzle and be dizzy.

0:01:050:01:07

And over in Japan, nimble-fingered Yuichi risks paper cuts galore

0:01:090:01:14

in an outstandingly tricky origami challenge.

0:01:140:01:18

But first, back to Al for something...

0:01:180:01:21

officially gymnastic.

0:01:210:01:24

Welcome to the Sun Bowl here in El Paso, Texas, for a record

0:01:280:01:32

attempt that's truly going to flip your world upside down.

0:01:320:01:35

This is American college football team The El Paso Miners'

0:01:350:01:38

home ground.

0:01:380:01:39

American football's a lot like your rugby but the players are

0:01:390:01:42

padded in safety gear because there is a lot of this...this...and this.

0:01:420:01:49

Now, every American football team has their cheerleaders who get

0:01:490:01:52

the crowds going.

0:01:520:01:53

They're impressive athletes and one of them

0:01:530:01:56

is after a new Guinness World Record here today.

0:01:560:01:59

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Jalyssa Walker.

0:02:000:02:03

23-year-old US Army Officer, Jalyssa, used to be a top

0:02:050:02:08

cheerleader here at UTEP, that's the University of Texas El Paso.

0:02:080:02:13

In 2011, her cheer squad were national champions.

0:02:130:02:17

In 2012, she won their Most Valuable Player, or MVP, award,

0:02:170:02:21

and was crowned top tumbler five years in a row.

0:02:210:02:25

Pretty handy for today's record attempt of...

0:02:250:02:28

most consecutive backflips,

0:02:280:02:29

or handsprings as they're known in the record breaking world.

0:02:290:02:32

Don't ask. These are consecutive handsprings.

0:02:320:02:35

Jalyssa's going to try and backflip the entire length

0:02:350:02:38

of this 110 yard pitch without stopping.

0:02:380:02:41

That's a little over 100m to you Brits.

0:02:410:02:44

Her target today is 50 consecutive handsprings, which is 14 more

0:02:440:02:48

than the current world record of 36. You're trying to shatter the record.

0:02:480:02:52

That's right, I want no-one else to catch up to me.

0:02:520:02:54

No-one else will touch it, OK.

0:02:540:02:55

What kind of gets sore as you go through your flips?

0:02:550:02:58

-My legs. Once I get to 35, 40, that's when I start feeling it.

-OK.

0:02:580:03:03

The stadium is pretty empty now, but Jalyssa wants to attempt it during

0:03:030:03:06

tonight's game, at half-time, in front of 40,000 screaming home fans.

0:03:060:03:11

No pressure! All right, well, I'm done talking,

0:03:110:03:14

I want to see what you can do. Will you show me?

0:03:140:03:16

I sure can, I just need some help from some of the cheerleaders.

0:03:160:03:19

Let's do it.

0:03:190:03:20

We're about to see some of Jalyssa's old cheerleading moves.

0:03:200:03:24

Americans take cheerleading very seriously.

0:03:240:03:27

As you can see, you need to be extremely fit and flexible

0:03:270:03:30

and it requires a lot of practice and skill as well.

0:03:300:03:36

-Jalyssa, get over here, that was awesome.

-Thank you.

0:03:360:03:39

-It was like you didn't miss a beat.

-No, not at all.

0:03:390:03:41

-All right. Did that bring back memories of cheering?

-It did.

0:03:410:03:43

-It makes me want to go back out there tonight.

-All right.

0:03:430:03:46

Well, get ready for tonight, I know you're going to get it.

0:03:460:03:48

The stadium might be empty now, but Jalyssa wants it to be full

0:03:480:03:51

for her fliptacular most consecutive handsprings record attempt.

0:03:510:03:55

Can she pull it off in front of 40,000 home fans?

0:03:550:04:00

Stay tuned to find out.

0:04:000:04:02

Now for something...

0:04:020:04:04

Welcome to Butzbach, in Germany, a town that seems a million miles

0:04:110:04:15

away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

0:04:150:04:17

But it's hustle and bustle that we're here to see, as this

0:04:170:04:20

record attempt requires superhuman speed.

0:04:200:04:24

This...is...sport stacking.

0:04:240:04:27

Sport stacking, also known as cup or speed stacking,

0:04:270:04:30

was founded in the early '80s in Southern California.

0:04:300:04:34

It involves stacking specialised plastic cups in specific

0:04:340:04:37

sequences as fast as you can.

0:04:370:04:39

18-year-old Timo Reuhl and Ryan Powell, who's just 14,

0:04:400:04:44

want to beat their own stacking Guinness World Record, for which they

0:04:440:04:48

have to work together, using one hand each to do the stacking.

0:04:480:04:53

Let's meet the speedy stacking supermen now.

0:04:530:04:56

What makes it a sport? Is it just that you're wearing shorts?

0:04:560:05:00

-TRANSLATION:

-Let me tell you, if you do it for 20 or 30 minutes

0:05:000:05:07

you'll sweat. That's sport.

0:05:070:05:10

I want to see it. Can you show me a demonstration?

0:05:110:05:14

-TRANSLATION:

-Why-aye!

0:05:140:05:16

Timo and Ryan are demonstrating the cycle stack slowly.

0:05:160:05:20

This is the one they hold the world record for.

0:05:200:05:22

Pay attention.

0:05:220:05:23

This is a 3-6-3 stack, followed by a 6-6 then a 1-10-1,

0:05:230:05:29

concluding with a 3-6-3 down stack.

0:05:290:05:32

Got it?

0:05:320:05:34

Wow. That was incredible. Two people working as one.

0:05:340:05:38

I think we need a slow-mo. The attempt you're watching now

0:05:380:05:41

took the boys a fraction over eight seconds.

0:05:410:05:43

You practically need a telepathic connection to stack this fast.

0:05:430:05:47

But to beat their record today, they'll need to do everything

0:05:470:05:50

they've just done in under 6.53 seconds.

0:05:500:05:54

Here are the rules -

0:05:540:05:56

only official cups can be used.

0:05:560:05:58

The attempt is timed electronically.

0:05:580:06:00

It starts when the boys' hands leave

0:06:000:06:02

the timing pad and stops when both hands are placed back on it.

0:06:020:06:07

The boys have just three attempts to try and beat the record.

0:06:070:06:09

Mess them up and it's game over.

0:06:090:06:11

Guys, in your own time. Take it away.

0:06:120:06:15

Preparation is key.

0:06:150:06:17

They're ready, the cups are ready, let's see how they do.

0:06:170:06:20

6.53 seconds to beat.

0:06:200:06:23

3-6-3 done.

0:06:230:06:26

Flying fingers. Oh, no, you can see here how hard this really is.

0:06:260:06:29

We're talking milliseconds and millimetres,

0:06:290:06:32

that's the difference between success and failure.

0:06:320:06:36

Ryan missing the drop, end of attempt.

0:06:360:06:38

OK, that's the first attempt down and they're going

0:06:380:06:41

straight into the second.

0:06:410:06:42

Limbering up, the sportsmen's fidget there.

0:06:440:06:47

Hands, cups, matt, sweaty hands, trousers, cups.

0:06:470:06:51

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

0:06:510:06:54

And sweaty hands. It has to be perfect.

0:06:540:06:58

Oh, and that's it for attempt two.

0:07:000:07:01

It was over before it had really begun.

0:07:010:07:03

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

0:07:030:07:06

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

0:07:060:07:09

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

0:07:090:07:11

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

0:07:110:07:15

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

0:07:150:07:18

3-6-3 - boom.

0:07:180:07:20

Now the 6-6, yes. Yes.

0:07:200:07:22

The 1-10-1 and... Oh, capitulation. Timo catching an edge again

0:07:220:07:27

and sending everything flying.

0:07:270:07:29

Look how close they were this time!

0:07:290:07:31

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

0:07:310:07:35

They still had a full second to complete the down stack

0:07:350:07:38

but just a tiny slip.

0:07:380:07:40

Ooh, painful stuff.

0:07:400:07:41

Now, if you thought cup stacking was a weird sport, check this out.

0:07:410:07:46

We're in Beijing, China, to see

0:07:530:07:55

two presenters witness an unlikely record attempt involving flippers.

0:07:550:07:59

But what is it?

0:07:590:08:00

The most football juggles in flippers?

0:08:000:08:03

The fastest time to eat three kippers in flippers?

0:08:030:08:07

Or the fastest 100m hurdles in flippers?

0:08:070:08:10

And the answer is - the fastest 100m hurdles in flippers.

0:08:100:08:15

Obviously!

0:08:150:08:16

And this is current record holder

0:08:160:08:18

Veronica Torr from New Zealand who's here to challenge two local

0:08:180:08:21

athletes and try and beat her current record of 19.28 seconds.

0:08:210:08:26

Now, the world's fastest man, Usain Bolt, runs 100m in 9.58

0:08:260:08:31

seconds, which is only about nine seconds quicker than Veronica and

0:08:310:08:34

he didn't have to clear ten hurdles and he runs without flippers.

0:08:340:08:38

Lazy!

0:08:380:08:40

On your marks, get set, flip!

0:08:400:08:43

Veronica's the hot favourite here and she is already racing ahead.

0:08:440:08:49

She's using the classic frog technique - run fast,

0:08:490:08:53

jump high and catch flies.

0:08:530:08:56

OK, I made that last bit up, but it's sort of froggy.

0:08:560:08:59

She's storming ahead,

0:08:590:09:01

her competitors just two specks in the distance.

0:09:010:09:04

And it's an easy win for Veronica, but is it a Guinness World Record?

0:09:040:09:09

Yes! Veronica has smashed it, finishing the course in just 18.52

0:09:090:09:15

seconds, beating her previous record by nearly a second.

0:09:150:09:19

Well done, Veronica. Officially a bit odd but still officially amazing.

0:09:190:09:25

Now, from flippers back to flipping in...

0:09:250:09:29

Part two.

0:09:360:09:37

Welcome back to El Paso, Texas, where we're about to find out if

0:09:410:09:44

Jalyssa Walker can set the record for most consecutive handsprings.

0:09:440:09:48

Now, if you notice, our atmosphere has changed just a little bit

0:09:480:09:53

since you've been gone.

0:09:530:09:55

The fans are here, the players are here, the game is on.

0:09:550:09:58

Now the attempt is taking place at half-time so we have to get ready.

0:09:580:10:02

It's record breaking time.

0:10:020:10:03

Wo-ho-ho! Touch down!

0:10:030:10:07

That's like a try in your rugby, or a goal in what you call football.

0:10:070:10:11

That's REAL football, Al. Let's just get on with today's record.

0:10:110:10:16

Hold on, Shires.

0:10:160:10:18

First you have to do a little good luck ritual with Jalyssa

0:10:180:10:21

and her mum Jolene.

0:10:210:10:22

Almost half-time. Are you a little nervous?

0:10:220:10:25

-How are you feeling?

-I'm just really excited to show everybody.

0:10:250:10:28

I can see it in your eyes, you're ready to go.

0:10:280:10:30

Do you guys have like a good luck ritual

0:10:300:10:31

that you do before she goes out there?

0:10:310:10:33

We sure do.

0:10:330:10:34

Oh, that's so cute! Can I get some pinkie love now?

0:10:360:10:40

All right, there you go, a little pinkie love for you.

0:10:400:10:42

Good luck. I know you're going to do it.

0:10:420:10:44

Can I have some pinkie love, Al?

0:10:440:10:47

Uhhh, no. OK, that's half-time.

0:10:470:10:49

I'm going to have me a hot dog and tell you the rules.

0:10:490:10:53

The handsprings must be consecutive. There must be no stopping.

0:10:530:10:58

Only feet and hands can touch the ground.

0:10:580:11:01

The record to beat is 36.

0:11:010:11:04

Miners fans, are you guys ready to see a world record being broken?

0:11:060:11:10

CROWD CHEERS

0:11:100:11:13

Let's go UTEP! Let's go Jalyssa! Let's go!

0:11:150:11:22

Jalyssa doesn't think the field is long enough,

0:11:270:11:30

so she's starting from this blue matt

0:11:300:11:32

for that little extra bit of length.

0:11:320:11:34

That, my friends, is confidence!

0:11:340:11:36

And she's off!

0:11:380:11:39

Remember, the record to beat is 36 consecutive handsprings,

0:11:390:11:43

but Jalyssa thinks she can do 50.

0:11:430:11:45

Look at that precision. Every handspring looks exactly the same.

0:11:450:11:51

Rhythm is vital and she seems to be in the groove.

0:11:510:11:54

Think how dizzy she must be getting.

0:11:540:11:57

Plus, this is super tiring.

0:11:570:11:58

She's going so fast,

0:12:000:12:02

official adjudicator Amanda is having to run with me to keep up.

0:12:020:12:05

One slip and it's all over but Jalyssa is a machine.

0:12:080:12:12

She's made it all the way to the end zone.

0:12:130:12:16

Incredible! She's still going. That's the spirit, Jalyssa.

0:12:160:12:22

And she's done. Wow.

0:12:230:12:25

How can she even stand up?

0:12:260:12:28

Her head must be spinning.

0:12:280:12:30

-THEY CHANT:

-Officially amazing! Officially amazing!

0:12:300:12:34

Jalyssa, that was awesome. How are you feeling?

0:12:340:12:36

Extremely tired.

0:12:360:12:38

Can I hear some love for Jalyssa?

0:12:380:12:40

CROWD CHEERS

0:12:400:12:43

Well, we're pretty sure she's got a new record

0:12:430:12:45

but we need the official result.

0:12:450:12:47

Well, the number to beat was 36 back handsprings.

0:12:470:12:51

And you achieved a total of 53, which is a new Guinness World Record!

0:12:570:13:02

A new world record!

0:13:020:13:04

Jalyssa has smashed the record into smithereens.

0:13:040:13:06

-CROWD CHANTS:

-Officially amazing! Officially amazing!

0:13:060:13:10

You did awesome. You're officially amazing.

0:13:120:13:15

What a day. 40,000 ecstatic fans

0:13:150:13:19

and a record officially obliterated.

0:13:190:13:23

Boom!

0:13:230:13:25

Magnificent!

0:13:250:13:26

Now, here's Haruka.

0:13:260:13:28

On Officially Amazing, we've seen some odd records from Japan.

0:13:360:13:40

We've seen a man run like a monkey.

0:13:400:13:42

A man catching tennis balls with a boxing glove.

0:13:420:13:44

And we've seen a man skip in a sewer. Eww!

0:13:440:13:48

But today, we're leaving the world of the weird records behind

0:13:490:13:52

and doing something a bit more traditional.

0:13:520:13:55

You may think that paper folding is only about airplanes,

0:13:560:13:59

but here in Japan you can pretty much make anything.

0:13:590:14:03

Wow, Haruka! These are amazing.

0:14:050:14:07

There's a flower, and a cat and... No idea what that one is, a house?

0:14:070:14:13

Oi, I made that. It's a fish. Obviously.

0:14:130:14:17

Yes, today, we've come to the National Origami Museum in Nagoya

0:14:170:14:21

for an Officially Amazing record attempt

0:14:210:14:23

and I want to find out more from origami grandmaster, Mr Kobyashi.

0:14:230:14:28

He's been doing origami for 41 years

0:14:280:14:31

and he reckons it's not only an art form but it's good for you, too.

0:14:310:14:36

-TRANSLATION:

-Doing origami keeps your brain fit.

0:14:360:14:41

My dad's 91 and still as sharp as a tack,

0:14:410:14:45

and he puts it all down to the benefits of origami,

0:14:450:14:48

so we should all do it, you know?

0:14:480:14:50

If that's not a great advert to take up origami then

0:14:500:14:53

I don't know what is.

0:14:530:14:56

But it's not Mr Kobyashi who's taking on the record today,

0:14:560:14:59

instead it's a younger paper player, Yoneyama Yuichi.

0:14:590:15:04

Yuichi holds the record for making an incredible 13 origami cranes,

0:15:040:15:08

which are a type of bird, in just five minutes.

0:15:080:15:12

Amazing!

0:15:120:15:13

He has a condition called autism

0:15:130:15:15

and making his paper cranes is one of his favourite things to do.

0:15:150:15:19

Can he break his own Guinness World Record today?

0:15:190:15:22

For this attempt, each crane must be made from a square of paper

0:15:240:15:27

measuring 15cm x 15cm.

0:15:270:15:30

The clock begins the moment Yuichi starts folding

0:15:300:15:33

and he has fives minutes to make as many cranes as he can.

0:15:330:15:36

Can he break his own Guinness World Record today?

0:15:360:15:40

Remember, the clock won't start until Yuichi makes the first fold.

0:15:410:15:46

He's making it look simple, but the crane takes 16 precise folds

0:15:460:15:51

and it is an extremely intricate and tricky thing to do.

0:15:510:15:54

His fingers have to work fast,

0:15:540:15:56

but Yuichi has to be incredibly precise with every single fold

0:15:560:16:00

and the first one is done in no time at all, but he's going to need to

0:16:000:16:04

press on if he's to beat his own record of 13 cranes in five minutes.

0:16:040:16:09

That's a whole crane around every 16 seconds.

0:16:090:16:13

This takes extreme concentration, skill and accuracy

0:16:130:16:17

and Yuichi is demonstrating all of these without even breaking a sweat.

0:16:170:16:22

He's folding flipping fast,

0:16:220:16:23

but has he been fast enough to break the record?

0:16:230:16:26

And that's it, time's up.

0:16:270:16:30

Nimble fingers, frantic folding, super skills - has he done enough?

0:16:300:16:36

Well, he did make 13 cranes in total but official adjudicator Aya

0:16:360:16:40

has disqualified three for not being identical enough.

0:16:400:16:44

Still a great attempt. Well done, Yuichi.

0:16:440:16:48

So he hasn't quite broken his own record

0:16:480:16:50

but he is still officially amazing.

0:16:500:16:53

Bye-bye from Japan.

0:16:530:16:55

Now, from a peaceful record attempt to some of the noisiest.

0:18:510:18:53

On Officially Amazing, we've scoured the globe to find three

0:19:040:19:08

giants of international record breaking proportion.

0:19:080:19:12

They're facing off against each other in a fierce battle with

0:19:120:19:16

world records and national pride on the line as they take

0:19:160:19:19

on challenges that you can try at home.

0:19:190:19:22

Representing the UK, it's Sizzlin' Steve,

0:19:230:19:26

a steadfast stick of record breaking British rock.

0:19:260:19:30

-HARUKA:

-And for Japan, it's the man who puts the...

0:19:310:19:34

-ROAR

-..into...

0:19:340:19:35

-WHIMPER

-..it's Mr Cherry.

0:19:350:19:40

-AL:

-And finally, he flips, he springs, he wears funny things.

0:19:400:19:44

Representing the United States, it's US Ray!

0:19:440:19:49

As things stand, Japan's Mr Cherry is in the lead with three victories.

0:19:490:19:53

Sizzlin' Steve is on two, with US Ray lagging behind on one.

0:19:530:19:59

And, impressively, they've already chalked up an astonishing

0:19:590:20:03

five new Guinness World Records between them.

0:20:030:20:06

Today's titanic tussle requires a steady hand, a keen eye

0:20:060:20:11

and a pack of cards as they build a house of cards over three

0:20:110:20:14

levels in the fastest time possible.

0:20:140:20:17

I braved the hordes of adoring fans to bring you an exclusive

0:20:190:20:22

interview from Steve's theatre of dreams.

0:20:220:20:25

They're notoriously easy to fall over, a house of cards.

0:20:250:20:29

Are you worried about that?

0:20:290:20:31

-Not really.

-No? Why? Why is that?

0:20:310:20:34

Cos it's going to fall down at some point.

0:20:340:20:36

Right. That's quite a philosophical way of looking at things.

0:20:360:20:39

Hopefully not during the record attempt though?

0:20:390:20:43

Hopefully not.

0:20:430:20:44

And with that battle cry, it's time for the rules.

0:20:440:20:48

For this record attempt, standard playing cards must be used

0:20:480:20:51

and they cannot be bent or creased in any way.

0:20:510:20:54

The house must be built in a pyramid shape

0:20:540:20:56

and needs to stay up for at least 30 seconds.

0:20:560:21:00

Stack! The world record time Steve's aiming to beat

0:21:000:21:03

is 6.8 seconds, which is just about...

0:21:030:21:06

..now - so it's no record,

0:21:080:21:09

but there's still a competition to be won here.

0:21:090:21:11

Can he stack all three levels quicker than Ray and Cherry?

0:21:110:21:15

Nice, nice. You've got foundations, you've got a second level coming on.

0:21:150:21:18

Not even my best chat can distract the Sizzler.

0:21:180:21:21

Is there room for an extension if I want a conservatory?

0:21:210:21:24

No.

0:21:240:21:26

Oh. OK then. Thank you.

0:21:260:21:28

Stop. And he's done. But will it hold?

0:21:300:21:34

It is holding, but, at 30.18 seconds, Steve is

0:21:340:21:37

nowhere near the record held by Silvio Sabba of Italy who could

0:21:370:21:41

build five of these in the time it's taken Steve to make just one.

0:21:410:21:45

However, this is a tricky challenge. It's now about beating his rivals.

0:21:450:21:49

-Ray, are you ready to do it?

-I'm ready.

0:21:490:21:51

-Are you ready?

-All right.

0:21:510:21:54

Three, two, one, go.

0:21:540:21:58

BEN: Remember, the record is 6.8 seconds...

0:21:580:22:01

..which is now.

0:22:030:22:04

Oh, so nowhere near the record either,

0:22:040:22:06

but they can still beat Sizzlin' Steve's time.

0:22:060:22:09

-AL:

-Or maybe not.

0:22:140:22:16

Things aren't going Ray's way but he's not a man to give up easily.

0:22:160:22:20

-HARUKA:

-Cherry seems to be doing a bit better.

0:22:200:22:23

Actually, no, he's not.

0:22:230:22:26

-AL:

-That is a pyramid, Ray,

0:22:260:22:27

but I'm not sure you'll be able to get three levels from it.

0:22:270:22:32

Card-lamity!

0:22:320:22:33

-HARUKA:

-Cherry's getting there.

0:22:350:22:37

Oh, no! So close but is it going to collapse?

0:22:370:22:41

TRANSLATION: Oh, no, Japanese spirit.

0:22:450:22:48

It collapsed like a... Well, like a house of cards.

0:22:480:22:52

We could pretend to build up the tension for these results,

0:22:520:22:55

but seeing as Steve was the only one to actually

0:22:550:22:57

build his house of cards, that would be a bit pointless.

0:22:570:23:00

US Ray huffed and puffed, but his house fell down.

0:23:000:23:04

And it seems Mr Cherry had a few too many jokers in his pack.

0:23:040:23:08

Well, Sizzler wins, and doesn't he look delighted?

0:23:080:23:11

No new world record today, but he takes another win for the UK.

0:23:110:23:15

That brings him level with Mr Cherry on three victories each,

0:23:150:23:18

and US Ray has some catching up to do on one.

0:23:180:23:22

The boys will be back to fight another day.

0:23:220:23:25

For now, though, it's off to bonny Scotland for something...

0:23:250:23:28

Hello and welcome to Edinburgh where I'll be tripping the light

0:23:360:23:40

fantastic for a dance record.

0:23:400:23:42

MUSIC HALL MUSIC

0:23:430:23:45

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

0:23:460:23:50

And while I look the part,

0:23:500:23:51

and certainly have the skills to pay the bills - oh, yeah -

0:23:510:23:55

it takes two to tango.

0:23:550:23:57

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

0:23:590:24:02

Well, she clearly didn't get my e-mail about the dress code.

0:24:040:24:07

Introducing Roxy Milliner,

0:24:070:24:09

a former world trampolining champion, she's now a professional

0:24:090:24:13

break-dancer and travels the globe showing off her amazing skills.

0:24:130:24:17

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

0:24:170:24:21

Roxy, I'll catch you outside... when you've finished showing off.

0:24:210:24:25

Fierce!

0:24:250:24:27

It looks really cool to watch.

0:24:270:24:29

Is it the coolest dance form?

0:24:290:24:30

Yes. Definitely.

0:24:310:24:33

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

0:24:330:24:35

The head spins, they take the longest to learn,

0:24:350:24:37

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

0:24:370:24:39

Cos the head spin is everything to do with the record

0:24:390:24:42

that you're going to be attempting today.

0:24:420:24:44

-Yes.

-Today, Roxy is after most head spins in a minute -

0:24:440:24:47

the record for which is currently 91.

0:24:470:24:51

Yup, you heard, 91!

0:24:510:24:54

Whilst Roxy gets her head round this record attempt,

0:24:540:24:57

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

0:24:570:25:00

Wheee!

0:25:000:25:03

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

0:25:030:25:06

Please leave head spinning to the professionals

0:25:060:25:08

and look at the rules instead.

0:25:080:25:10

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

0:25:100:25:13

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

0:25:130:25:16

but only head and hands can touch the ground.

0:25:160:25:19

And each 360 degree rotation counts as one spin.

0:25:190:25:23

Well, it's about record time.

0:25:260:25:28

Crowd, are you ready to cheer her on?

0:25:280:25:31

The crowd are ready, Roxy looks ready,

0:25:310:25:34

her knuckles sound ready... CRACKING

0:25:340:25:37

..now she just needs a regulation hat.

0:25:370:25:40

That one will do just fine. Here we go.

0:25:400:25:43

We begin as soon as Roxy starts spinning.

0:25:430:25:45

And she's off.

0:25:460:25:48

This one's all about speed and balance.

0:25:480:25:51

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

0:25:510:25:55

That's incredible. You can feel the wind.

0:25:570:26:01

91 spins to beat, remember.

0:26:010:26:05

And she's looking fast there.

0:26:060:26:08

30 seconds, halfway point.

0:26:080:26:11

Keep your head, Roxy.

0:26:110:26:13

With each spin she gets dizzier,

0:26:130:26:15

so balancing gets much, much harder.

0:26:150:26:18

Ten seconds to go.

0:26:180:26:20

Nine, eight, seven, six, five,

0:26:200:26:24

four, three, two, one.

0:26:240:26:27

Stop.

0:26:270:26:29

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

0:26:310:26:34

Do you want to take my hand?

0:26:340:26:35

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

0:26:350:26:38

I'm really dizzy.

0:26:380:26:40

Keep our fingers crossed for this record.

0:26:400:26:42

Official adjudicator Anna is carefully verifying every spin.

0:26:450:26:50

Did Roxy get more than the 91 spins she needs?

0:26:530:26:57

The results are in, and...

0:26:580:27:01

..she did, with 101 spins!

0:27:020:27:05

Officially amazing. Obviously.

0:27:090:27:13

Incredible. Well, after all that, my head is spinning,

0:27:130:27:17

so I'm off for a lie down.

0:27:170:27:19

See you next time for more Officially Amazing record breaking.
