0:00:06 > 0:00:08If it's earth-tremblingly exciting...

0:00:08 > 0:00:10..breathtakingly brilliant...

0:00:10 > 0:00:13..and downright doolally world-records you're after,

0:00:13 > 0:00:16then have we got news for you?

0:00:16 > 0:00:19- Have we? - Yes, Al, thank you for asking(!)

0:00:19 > 0:00:20Coming up...

0:00:21 > 0:00:26..unprecedented scenes in the Secret Bunker as the Sizzler quits!

0:00:28 > 0:00:30What on earth is this guy doing?

0:00:30 > 0:00:32I hope he doesn't... Aargh!

0:00:32 > 0:00:34But first, time to limber up.

0:00:37 > 0:00:38Grr!

0:00:40 > 0:00:41Aargh!

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Meet Hadyn Wiseman,

0:00:43 > 0:00:47a champion in the officially awesome sport of tricking -

0:00:47 > 0:00:51a combination of martial arts, gymnastics and breakdancing.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Today, Hadyn will attempt to break the world record for...

0:00:57 > 0:00:59A twisted moon kick is an airborne kick

0:00:59 > 0:01:03with a full 360 degree rotation.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06The current record of 18 has stood for 10 years!

0:01:06 > 0:01:09This is not going to be easy.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13- So it's the most twisted moon kicks in a minute?- Yep.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16How hard is one of these, because they sound incredibly intense?

0:01:16 > 0:01:18- So, one isn't too difficult.- Right!

0:01:18 > 0:01:21But when you're going for as many as you can in a minute,

0:01:21 > 0:01:24it does get tough after about the 10th, stamina wise.

0:01:24 > 0:01:25You get dizzy and stuff like this.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28The whole of tricking sounds so cool.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32I imagine your job, day-to-day, is also pretty cool, right?

0:01:32 > 0:01:34I don't know, spy or stuntman?

0:01:34 > 0:01:35Superhero, maybe?

0:01:35 > 0:01:37I'm actually an accountant.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42An accountant?! Aren't they supposed to be boring?

0:01:42 > 0:01:44He's a back-flipping, number-crunching ninja!

0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Hadyn, great to meet you, good luck today.- Thanks a lot.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Here are the rules -

0:01:49 > 0:01:52each moon kick must twist for a full 360 degrees,

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Hadyn must take off and land on one foot only,

0:01:55 > 0:01:59and he must complete all kicks inside a marked-out circle.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03The record to beat is 18 twisted moon kicks in one minute.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07This record puts so much strain on the body

0:02:07 > 0:02:09that Hadyn can only manage one attempt.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10It's now or never.

0:02:10 > 0:02:11Three,

0:02:11 > 0:02:12two,

0:02:12 > 0:02:14one - go!

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Wow!

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Hadyn's off to an incredible start.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Just one moon kick takes so much strength,

0:02:23 > 0:02:25yet Hadyn's doing it over and over.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32And look how much the floor quakes with the force of every landing.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33This is so tough.

0:02:33 > 0:02:3430 seconds.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Halfway through, and Hadyn's already done 13 kicks.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41That's record-breaking pace. Can he keep it up?

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Ooh, did Hadyn land on one or two feet there?

0:02:47 > 0:02:51Remember, only one-footed landings are valid.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Was that two feet again?

0:02:53 > 0:02:54This could cost him.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Hadyn's really tiring now.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Come on, this is it, come on.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Going great, keep it up!

0:03:02 > 0:03:04He's getting so dizzy.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Last push now.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Come on!- Five...- Come on, Hadyn! - Four...- No!

0:03:09 > 0:03:10- Come on!- Three, two...

0:03:10 > 0:03:14- One more!- One, time.- Yes, yes!

0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Hadyn, put it there. Are you OK?- Yeah.

0:03:17 > 0:03:18What an effort!

0:03:18 > 0:03:23Hadyn had nothing left in the tank there, but he just kept going.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Hadyn, that looked exhausting. - It was.- Were you happy with it?

0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Not really.- No? - It's gone much better in training.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31He doesn't seem confident.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Has Hadyn beaten that decade-old record of 18?

0:03:35 > 0:03:36Do we have a result?

0:03:36 > 0:03:41Well, we had to disqualify three because you landed on both feet.

0:03:41 > 0:03:42Two further were disqualified

0:03:42 > 0:03:47because you put your hand down on your landing.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49So that leaves you with a total...

0:03:49 > 0:03:51of 17.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Aw!

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Agonisingly close, Hadyn.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Yeah, that's closer than I thought it was going to be.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01- If two or three were disqualified... - Devastation for Hadyn.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03He gave it absolutely everything,

0:04:03 > 0:04:07and if just one of those disqualified kicks had been valid,

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Hadyn would have matched the record.

0:04:09 > 0:04:14A truly outstanding effort, but that 10-year-old record lives on.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Let's cheer ourselves up by joining Al and Haruka in China.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25Aargh!

0:04:28 > 0:04:29Meet...

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Today, they'll attempt the record for...

0:04:38 > 0:04:42The balloons are 30 metres in the air.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46Linked by a 18 metre pole that's only five centimetres wide!

0:04:47 > 0:04:52And they have to walk it in less then 38.5 seconds!

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Freddy's up first.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58And he's wasting no time!

0:04:58 > 0:05:01He's running across that five centimetre pole faster than

0:05:01 > 0:05:02I can run on the ground.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09He's safely over.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13And he's demolished the record! 12.7 seconds!

0:05:13 > 0:05:17That's 25 seconds wiped off the world's best time!

0:05:18 > 0:05:20How will Maurizio compete with that?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25He's off to a great start.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Perfect balancing skill and... Oh, no!

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Mayday! Mayday! Man overboard!

0:05:32 > 0:05:36His foot slipped and he fell right off! Terrifying!

0:05:36 > 0:05:42But the harness saved him. What a heroic piece of safety equipment!

0:05:42 > 0:05:46Courageously, after that, Maurizio went again.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49And the only thing to fall was Freddy's record.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Then, incredible Aisikaier stepped up and beat them both.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57But Freddy's not having that, he wants his record back.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Looks fast, has he beaten 8.26 seconds?

0:06:03 > 0:06:07SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

0:06:07 > 0:06:097.49 seconds!

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Unbelievable record-breaking brilliance!

0:06:12 > 0:06:17Freddy joins an elite group of gravity-defying record breakers.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19# I'm defying gravity

0:06:19 > 0:06:21# I'm not lying, look at me

0:06:21 > 0:06:23# And if you don't like what you see

0:06:23 > 0:06:25# Then I'll fly away

0:06:25 > 0:06:27# Truffles the guinea pig

0:06:27 > 0:06:29# Jumped a gap that was so big

0:06:29 > 0:06:33# A rodent so strong leaping 48 centimetres long

0:06:33 > 0:06:34# If you think that's funny

0:06:34 > 0:06:37# How about a high-jumping bunny?

0:06:37 > 0:06:41# Tosen the rabbit had quite a habit of jumping high up in the sky

0:06:41 > 0:06:45# Now when people get old, do you think they stop having fun?

0:06:45 > 0:06:48# There's a few old record breakers, look at the things they've done

0:06:48 > 0:06:51# Like Dorothy Simpson, gravity defying,

0:06:51 > 0:06:53# 79, zero-gravity flying

0:06:53 > 0:06:55# Or Emma Carrol, aged 109

0:06:55 > 0:06:57# In a hot-air balloon and she had a great time

0:06:57 > 0:06:58# One more thing

0:06:58 > 0:07:00# Sourabhee loved to sing

0:07:00 > 0:07:02# She wears the record crown

0:07:02 > 0:07:05# For longest time singing upside down

0:07:05 > 0:07:07# We're defying gravity

0:07:07 > 0:07:09# I'm not lying, look at me

0:07:09 > 0:07:11# And if you don't like what you see

0:07:11 > 0:07:13# Then we'll fly away

0:07:13 > 0:07:14# Hey! #

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Hup, hup, yaaahh...

0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Aargh! - CROWD GASPS

0:07:26 > 0:07:30One hermetically sealed bunker and three intrepid opponents

0:07:30 > 0:07:34competing for 15 world records that you could try at home.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38For Team America, the irrepressible US Ray.

0:07:39 > 0:07:44For Team UK, the electrifying wonder of Sizzling Steve!

0:07:44 > 0:07:48And representing Japan, two-time titanic champion,

0:07:48 > 0:07:49Mr Cherry!

0:07:51 > 0:07:52Welcome to...

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Last time, Ray pingingly-pongingly propelled himself

0:08:01 > 0:08:04to his first world record of the series.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Leaving the scores level and the excitement stratospheric.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Today, three fine physical specimens will be trying to break

0:08:12 > 0:08:16a brand-new record that requires three key things -

0:08:16 > 0:08:17speed,

0:08:17 > 0:08:18skill,

0:08:18 > 0:08:21and eyes in the back of your bottom?

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Yes, today our titans will tackle the record for...

0:08:29 > 0:08:31It's going to tough, but it's a physical challenge,

0:08:31 > 0:08:34which is A-OK for US Ray.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Which one's more important, your arms or your legs?

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Fast feet, fast hands, you've got to use them both together.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42So do you think your arms

0:08:42 > 0:08:45and your legs will get you close to the 25 second world record?

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- 100%.- That's a confident man.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- THEY CHANT:- US Ray! US Ray! US Ray!

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Yeah!

0:08:52 > 0:08:54WEAK CHANTING: Sizzling Steve! Sizzling...

0:08:54 > 0:08:56No, my heart's just not in it.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00Tell me, what's in the Sizzler's locker?

0:09:00 > 0:09:01Nothing.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03I've got a doctor's note from last year.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05- What do you mean?- I won't be doing this record this year.- Whoa!

0:09:05 > 0:09:07What exactly's wrong with you?

0:09:07 > 0:09:10I damaged my wrist on the crab walk last year, Ben.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12And you've actually managed to convince a doctor

0:09:12 > 0:09:14- to write you a note to this effect?- Yes.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18So Steve is claiming that this, a year ago,

0:09:18 > 0:09:20has ruled him out of competing?

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Is it all over for Team UK?

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Far from it, Jackson!

0:09:25 > 0:09:28- I'm going to be the proxy Sizzler, yes?- Yes.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30So can you give me some tips

0:09:30 > 0:09:32on how I should go about attempting this record?

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Just get down on all fours, just like this...

0:09:35 > 0:09:36Oh, it's demo time.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38..and walk backwards.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41You can do 50 metres, can't you?

0:09:41 > 0:09:43How's that wrist? Looks fine.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Ooh, Ben might regret this!

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Cherry's been training with Kenichi Ito,

0:09:48 > 0:09:53former world record holder at running forwards on all fours.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55You've been training with Kenichi Ito?

0:09:55 > 0:09:58- TRANSLATION:- That's right, love.

0:09:58 > 0:10:03He's taught me how to run, and the special food I must eat.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05What about the special food?

0:10:05 > 0:10:06Secret!

0:10:06 > 0:10:08- TRANSLATION: - Mind your own business, you!

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Mysterious scenes.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12I suppose I should learn the rules.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Our competitors must cover the whole 50 metres on all fours,

0:10:16 > 0:10:19and they must travel feet first, head last.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24The target is a stupendously fast 25 seconds.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28I'm up first. Better warm up the old muscles.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY PLAYS

0:10:31 > 0:10:34BREAKS WIND IN TIME WITH THE MUSIC

0:10:45 > 0:10:46Good to go!

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Ben, are you ready?

0:10:48 > 0:10:50BREAKS WIND Ready!

0:10:50 > 0:10:51Three,

0:10:51 > 0:10:52two,

0:10:52 > 0:10:54one - go!

0:10:54 > 0:10:56And sizzling Ben is off!

0:10:56 > 0:10:59But what's going on with your legs, Benny Boy?

0:10:59 > 0:11:02I don't know, Al! Everything feels very weird!

0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Go!- Go, Ben.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07- How far?- Almost there.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Thanks for the support, Sizzler!

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Next time you've got skive-a-litis, you're on your own!

0:11:13 > 0:11:17Oh, dear, I think the 25 second target might be long gone.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20- ALL:- Go, go!

0:11:20 > 0:11:24Let's go, Benny! Let's go!

0:11:24 > 0:11:27CHEERING

0:11:27 > 0:11:30I underestimated that in the extreme!

0:11:30 > 0:11:35A valiant effort from the world's only Sizzling Steve tribute act.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Now it's time for a real athlete to take to the track.

0:11:38 > 0:11:39Go!

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Get this record, man. Whoo! There you go.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Just look at the length of Ray's stride.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47World-class technique!

0:11:47 > 0:11:49There you go, get this record!

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Come on, Ray, you can do it.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Oh, you cheer now, Steve!

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Although he is quite good, I suppose.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59- There we go!- Go on, Ray!

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Yes, here you go.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Al Jackson there, struggling to keep up

0:12:03 > 0:12:04while running conventionally.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Whatever, Floppy Legs.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Faster, faster! Pow, pow, pow!

0:12:09 > 0:12:10There we go, all right!

0:12:10 > 0:12:13I bet he smashed that 25 second target!

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Spectacular speed.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18But Cherry has trained hard for this one.

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Three,

0:12:19 > 0:12:20two,

0:12:20 > 0:12:21one - go!

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Hai, hai, hai!

0:12:25 > 0:12:27What a start!

0:12:27 > 0:12:30He's so light on his hands and feet,

0:12:30 > 0:12:32he's almost gliding across the ground!

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Hurry, hurry!

0:12:35 > 0:12:38He has a gorgeous, upright stance. I think he copied me.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Team Japan! Cherry, ganbare!

0:12:40 > 0:12:42This is scary fast!

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Mo ichi do! Iku! Iku!

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Oh, iku! Yay!

0:12:48 > 0:12:51And Cherry backflips over the line! What a run!

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Spider! Back to spider!

0:12:54 > 0:12:57We've witnessed three ridiculously rapid runs.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59OK, two.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02But did anyone beat that 25 second minimum target?

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Do we have a new world record?

0:13:05 > 0:13:06We do!

0:13:06 > 0:13:08ALL: Yes!

0:13:08 > 0:13:09Could it be me...?

0:13:09 > 0:13:13In third place, with a time of 51.69 seconds...

0:13:13 > 0:13:15More than twice the target.

0:13:15 > 0:13:16..was Ben.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Team UK, celebrating last place there.

0:13:18 > 0:13:23Now, both Mr Cherry and Ray beat the minimum.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26One was four seconds quicker than the other.

0:13:27 > 0:13:32With a time of 20.45 seconds, the winner is...

0:13:35 > 0:13:36..Mr Cherry!

0:13:37 > 0:13:41Cherry claims his second world record of the series!

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Heartbreak for Ray.

0:13:43 > 0:13:48He smashed the record, but still tasted cherry-flavoured defeat.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51Cherry's triumph puts him where he belongs,

0:13:51 > 0:13:53in the lead!

0:13:53 > 0:13:54But will he stay there?

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Find out next time

0:13:56 > 0:14:00when we return with more rump-tastic records like these...

0:14:00 > 0:14:03# Well, Steve went absent without leave

0:14:03 > 0:14:05# And into the breach stepped Ben BREAKS WIND

0:14:05 > 0:14:07# He had a good go, but he was really, really slow
