0:00:10 > 0:00:12to the sensational, splendiferous
0:00:12 > 0:00:16and altogether downright snazzy new series of Officially Amazing.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20And I believe we can go live now for an update on the new
0:00:20 > 0:00:23series from our US correspondent, Mr Al Jackson.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Well, Ben, we've got record-breaking
0:00:25 > 0:00:28feats from all over the globe, like these...
0:00:28 > 0:00:32MUSIC: King by Years and Years
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Unbelievable scenes!
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Time now to go to our Japanese correspondent, Haruka Kuroda.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Are you there, Haruka?
0:00:56 > 0:00:57I'm here, Ben,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59and I have monumental news.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03US Ray, Sizzling Steve and Mr Cherry are all back
0:01:03 > 0:01:07and ready to compete in another Officially Competitive showdown.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Get in! And let's start this series as we mean to go on with our first
0:01:11 > 0:01:14officially fantastic record attempt.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Oh, I thought that went well. - That was great, man.- Yeah!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24ENGINE REVS
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Uh-oh.- Argh!
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Meet 17-year-old professional flyboarder Damone Rippy
0:01:31 > 0:01:33from Texas, USA.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38Damone is the protege of Franky Zapata, the inventor of the flyboard
0:01:38 > 0:01:40who we met in series three.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Today, Damone will attempt a brand-new world record
0:01:43 > 0:01:46on Franky's all-new invention.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48For the...
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Let's find it more.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- We've seen flyboards on Officially Amazing before.- Right.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56How does the water jet board differ?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Well, it's more like a snowboard on water.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Instead of soaring above the water, you more glide along the water.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07So, as you had sort of a history of skateboarding
0:02:07 > 0:02:09or snowboarding or anything like that?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Yes, I was a snowboarder before flyboarding
0:02:11 > 0:02:13so that's where I got my balance from.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Well, Damone, good luck with the corkscrew record.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- I can't wait to see it.- Thank you.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Here are the rules.
0:02:18 > 0:02:24One corkscrew is one full 360-degree rotation while in the air.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Only corkscrews performed
0:02:26 > 0:02:28while moving upwards will count
0:02:28 > 0:02:30and to set this new world record
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Damone needs 30 corkscrews
0:02:32 > 0:02:34in one minute.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37The time starts when he begins his first corkscrew.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Here we go.- He's good.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Yes!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44And he's up! Brilliant.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Steady twisting from Damone.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Look how he swirls confidently through the air.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53But if he's going to trouble the record,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57he'll need more than one corkscrew at a time.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Loads of corkscrews there.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02The jet board is powered by a jet ski.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Damone has a hand-held controller which allows him to adjust the
0:03:05 > 0:03:09water pressure coming through this pipe, powering him into the air.
0:03:09 > 0:03:1130 seconds gone now.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Half his time left.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14He's going for a big one.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16That's two...three...
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Oh!
0:03:18 > 0:03:19And that's a wipeout.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Oh, disaster for Damone,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24as he crashes out and comes detached from the board.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28He has to abandon the attempt after only 41 seconds.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33With 18 complete corkscrews, he was just under world record pace.
0:03:33 > 0:03:39And news just in - it transpires that Yorkshire is colder than Texas.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Damone is freezing.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44So, he'll wear a wetsuit for one final attempt.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48He needs to last the minute and increase his tempo.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Can Damone reach that huge 30 corkscrew target?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Nice thumbs-up from Damone, here we go!
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Loads there.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02A double corkscrew!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Exactly what he needs.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07But... Oh, no - he's down.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Down but not out!
0:04:10 > 0:04:1230 seconds.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16This is looking better. Come on, Damone!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Immaculate corkscrewing!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21That is not easy.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Time!- That's it.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Damone stayed on his board for the full minute
0:04:26 > 0:04:29but did he come close to that 30 corkscrew target?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Damone, you managed 22 corkscrews -
0:04:33 > 0:04:35not enough for the record.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Heartbreak for Damone.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41But 22 corkscrews is still a phenomenal feat.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43If anyone is going to get this record in the future,
0:04:43 > 0:04:47it will almost certainly be this teenage superstar.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Oh, I know what will cheer him up -
0:04:49 > 0:04:51a dexterous doggy.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Oh!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Hi-ya!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02A-A-Agh.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06HARUKA: Over the years, we've brought you a cavalcade
0:05:06 > 0:05:08of clever canines.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- AL:- Wondrous woofers!
0:05:10 > 0:05:15But just when you thought we'd seen every possible poochie talent,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19along comes Holly, the heroic hound from Italy.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Ciao!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Holly is an expert at balancing
0:05:23 > 0:05:25and hopes to set the record for the...
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Silence, please, as Holly's human assistant, Tony,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36places a glass on her head.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Look at that, Haruka, it's an actual glass -
0:05:39 > 0:05:41made of glass!
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Yes, Al, this is difficult and dangerous.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Don't ever try this with your own untrained dog.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50What incredible focus.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52So, what does Holly have to do?
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Well, this 20-metre course has 20 poles placed one metre apart.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Holly must weave through at least 15 metres for the record.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04This is tense, Haruka.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08We are watching a dog walk an obstacle course
0:06:08 > 0:06:11with a glass on her head.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Remarkable!
0:06:15 > 0:06:19And Holly passes the 19-metre mark before stopping.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21She smashed the record!
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Well done, Holly. Who's a good doggy? You're good doggy.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Who wants to watch Officially Competitive?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Yes, you do! Yes, you do!
0:06:33 > 0:06:34CHEERING
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Ah. Ah. A-A-Agh!
0:06:40 > 0:06:44GAME OF THRONES THEME PLAYS DEEP VOICE: For three series past,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48a triumvirate of warriors have wrangled with one aim -
0:06:48 > 0:06:54to become the ultimate Officially Competitive champion.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55And, erm...
0:06:55 > 0:06:58also, another aim -
0:06:58 > 0:07:00to compete for world record titles
0:07:00 > 0:07:04that you could try at home.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07US Ray of the Americas,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Sizzling Steve of Britannia
0:07:11 > 0:07:16and three-time champion, Japan's Mr Cherry.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20So, how shall our venturers begin their fourth mighty quest?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23HE CLEARS HIS THROAT NORMAL VOICE: Let's find out.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24This is...
0:07:31 > 0:07:37Today, we have something featuring skill, speed and scrumptiousness.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Haruka, if you'll do the honours.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41It's the...
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Of course, our heroes have history with this record.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Back in series two, Sizzler beat Cherry by just...
0:07:53 > 0:07:57..to claim a world record that still stands to this day.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59HE ROARS Are you a bit worried that you stand
0:07:59 > 0:08:01to lose your record?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03There's always that chance with record-breaking
0:08:03 > 0:08:06but you just have to take it and hope for the best.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08In terms of preparation for this,
0:08:08 > 0:08:09what have you been doing?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13I've... I'm using a different pair of chopsticks this time.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Hold the phone! What?!
0:08:15 > 0:08:18What are these chopsticks and why the change?
0:08:18 > 0:08:19The grip on the chopsticks
0:08:19 > 0:08:20is just much better this time.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22OK. So, Mr Cherry should be scared.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26I think he might learn how to be scared this time.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Sizzler's going to teach Cherry fear?
0:08:28 > 0:08:29I can't wait to see that.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Good luck, Steve.- Cheers.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- AL:- Last time he did this, Ray came last,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36but he's been training hard.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37In order to get this record,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39you have to improve by 15 seconds.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40How are we going to do that?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Well, I WOULD say take our time but this one,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45you're just going to see the process
0:08:45 > 0:08:46and do it 15 seconds faster.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Nothing to it but to do it, man, you ready?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Let's go!- THEY CHANT:- US Ray!
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- US Ray! US Ray!- All right.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- HARUKA:- Cherry was so keen for another chance at this record,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59he put in a formal request to the
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Officially Amazing record selectors.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Steve got a record off you by 4/100ths of a second.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- DUBBED:- 'It was so close last time, I got a bit upset -
0:09:10 > 0:09:11'I don't mind telling you.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14'But I've been practising hard.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16'I've won the baked beans, I've won the jelly
0:09:16 > 0:09:19'and now I want to complete the trilogy
0:09:19 > 0:09:21'with these jelly babies.'
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Well, as the Japanese proverb goes,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26may your jelly baby sorting the speedy and fruitful.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Before anyone sorts anything,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33we need some rules.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37The 30 jelly babies must be of five different colours
0:09:37 > 0:09:41and must be randomised immediately before being sorted.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43They must be placed in receptacles
0:09:43 > 0:09:4615cm away from the main plate.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50The chopsticks may only be held with one hand.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53And Sizzling Steve's current
0:09:53 > 0:09:56world record time is 27.93 seconds.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Let's get competitive.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00US Ray's up first.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Three...two...one...
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Go! - KLAXON BLARES
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- AL:- Take your time, Ray, you've got this.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10This is surprisingly good from US Ray.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11He's finally looking
0:10:11 > 0:10:13like a confident chopsticker.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17No!
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Ray's put a yellow baby in a new bowl
0:10:19 > 0:10:21instead of the yellow baby bowl.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23This is terrible!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25He's going to be disqualified.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27It's an unmitigated disas... Oh, no.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30It's fine. He moved it.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Another disaster!
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Wee-e-e...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Ouch.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40A purple jelly baby has made a dramatic bid for freedom.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Has Ray even noticed he's a man down?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Come on, Ray, get it.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Go, go, go, go, go!
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Yeah!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49KLAXON BLARES
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Oh, the cheeky smile for Shantha.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55A futile bid to charm the adjudicator won't help.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Here comes the master.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01You, sir, are the reigning champion in this,
0:11:01 > 0:11:05so let's rain on their parade and sizzle for Britain!
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Shantha, over to you.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Three... Two... One...
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Go! - KLAXON BLARES
0:11:12 > 0:11:16As expected, a blistering start from the world champion.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19To truly witness the non-slip chopsticks in action
0:11:19 > 0:11:21we have to consult the slow-mo footage.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Magnificent.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30But Steve's mixed up his red and green babies.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31This could cost him.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34As IF the ice-cool world record-holder
0:11:34 > 0:11:36would be fazed by a minor mix-up.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39A last-minute reshuffle...
0:11:39 > 0:11:41KLAXON BLARES ..and he's done.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42But will that red and green hiccup
0:11:42 > 0:11:45give Cherry a chance to snatch the record?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Chopstick.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Peerless preparation. HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Bon appetit.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Go!
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Mr Cherry's hands are shaking with nerves.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08He really wants this record.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Nerves could cost him valuable milliseconds at this level.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16But he's in a rhythm now.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Cherry has chosen to use larger
0:12:18 > 0:12:20jelly babies than Ray and Steve.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24His mighty arms cope with that extra weight magnificently.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29KLAXON BLARES
0:12:29 > 0:12:32THEY GASP AND LAUGH Oh, no!
0:12:32 > 0:12:34But what happened there?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36One of Cherry's orange babies
0:12:36 > 0:12:38leapt into the yellow baby bowl.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43But did the escape happen before or after Shantha stopped her watch?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46She decrees it's a valid attempt.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47But was it fast enough
0:12:47 > 0:12:51to break Steve's 27.93 second record?
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Has his record been broken, Shantha?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Yes, it has.- ALL:- Ooh.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00BEN: Ooh. Slightly unexpected.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01But exciting.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Well, there's just one question remaining.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Shantha, who has grabbed that record
0:13:05 > 0:13:09and the all-important Officially Competitive point?
0:13:09 > 0:13:16Well, in third place, with a time of 46.997 seconds...
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- is Ray.- Supposedly improved Ray,
0:13:19 > 0:13:224.5 seconds slower than three series ago.
0:13:22 > 0:13:28And in first place, beating the current record by half a second,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30and still the world record-holder
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- is Steve. - STEVE AND BEN CHEER
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Own it! Own it! STEVE:- Yes!
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Chopstick master at last.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42But not at last, you're STILL.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Oh, again, then. - THEY LAUGH
0:13:44 > 0:13:46And so, a breathtaking display
0:13:46 > 0:13:48from the Sizzler puts him proudly
0:13:48 > 0:13:50atop the league table
0:13:50 > 0:13:53with a 100% world record hit rate.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- HARUKA:- But anything could happen next time
0:13:56 > 0:13:57when jelly foot spoons
0:13:57 > 0:13:59enter the arena.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00And we return with more
0:14:00 > 0:14:02fantastic feats
0:14:02 > 0:14:04like these.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07# Well, Damone might regret getting quite so wet
0:14:07 > 0:14:10# England's colder than Texas Who knew?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12# His jet board was flying but despite lots of trying
0:14:12 > 0:14:14# He couldn't do enough corkscrews
0:14:14 > 0:14:16# Our competitors felt the need
0:14:16 > 0:14:19# The need for chopstick speed
