0:00:02 > 0:00:05# Officially, officially, Officially Amazing! #
0:00:06 > 0:00:09When I heard that two football freestylers wanted to break
0:00:09 > 0:00:12a footie record on the show, I was delighted.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Finally, a chance to prove that I'm not a complete
0:00:14 > 0:00:17and utter nincompoop at things.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18Beat that.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Showing off, isn't he?
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Do I NOT like that?
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Guys, can I have my ball back now, please?
0:00:28 > 0:00:30We need to be getting on with things.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33'Ugh. Coming up...'
0:00:35 > 0:00:38It's squelchy surprise record time in the OC bunker.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43And these two guys attempt the most perilous way
0:00:43 > 0:00:45to walk down the stairs.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47But first, it's time for the big match.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Meet football freestylers
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Ash Randall and Sean Barnes,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00who...OK, might be a little bit better than me.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04They've worked with the likes of Wayne Rooney and Fernando Torres.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- How do, mate?- Hola. - And they're so good,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09they can even football freestyle without a football.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12RASPBERRY SOUND EFFECT
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Anyway, today Ash and Sean will be attempting the record for...
0:01:21 > 0:01:24A volley is the technique of kicking a ball while it's in the air.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28And the crossbar is this bit of the goal.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31So, you're going to be flicking it up. Tell us how it works.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32All the footballs on the floor.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I'm going to be flicking them up, passing them over to Sean,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38and hopefully he's going to whack it with his foot and hit that crossbar.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Is it the flicks that really determine it, or is it your kicks?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I'd says it's 50-50, completely.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46If Ash has flicked perfect, then maybe I'll hit perfect volleys.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- There's a bit of pressure on both of us...- Yeah.- ..to get it right.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53There can be no volleying without some rules.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55A full size goal must be used,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59with a crossbar no more than 7.32m long,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01or 12cm wide.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Ash must pass the ball to Sean using only his feet.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Sean must hit the ball whilst it's in the air
0:02:07 > 0:02:11and from behind the penalty spot, which is 11m from the goal.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14And the target for this brand-new record
0:02:14 > 0:02:17is six crossbar hits in one minute.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20That might not seem like much, but trust me,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22this is ridiculously difficult.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Three...two...one...
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Go!
0:02:28 > 0:02:29'Too low.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32'And that one's too high.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35'It's so hard to accurately hit a volley,
0:02:35 > 0:02:36'as the ball's a moving target.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39'O-o-o-oh, so close!'
0:02:42 > 0:02:44'Ash has to flick the balls up perfectly
0:02:44 > 0:02:46'or Sean doesn't have a chance.'
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Yes!
0:02:47 > 0:02:50'And the ball thunders off the crossbar!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53'One down. Get in!'
0:02:53 > 0:02:5430 seconds.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Yes! 'And another!'
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Oh! Yes!
0:03:01 > 0:03:02'What a hit!'
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- O-o-oh! - Five...four...three...
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- two...one... Time. - O-o-o-o-oh!
0:03:09 > 0:03:13'It doesn't look good. But let's get the official word from Mark.'
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Well, for the record, you needed six crossbar hits.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18In that attempt, it was just three.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22'Three hits is good, but the boys need to double their tally.'
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Go!
0:03:24 > 0:03:26'Ash and Sean aren't giving up.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30'But, despite the occasional stonking crossbar rattler...'
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Yes! '..they fall short again.'
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Three hits on target that time.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37'And again.'
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Four hits, that time.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41'Oh, and again.'
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Just two.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47'With a high score of only four and the boys exhausted,
0:03:47 > 0:03:51'can they get those extra hits on their final attempt?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53'Find out after something extraordinary.'
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Aaargh!
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Ugh...
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Welcome to China,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05where daredevils Mo Chang and Yang Gang
0:04:05 > 0:04:07are about to attempt the record for...
0:04:13 > 0:04:18..as this ridiculously uninformative graphic sort of demonstrates.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21And here are our courageous climbers,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25with duct tape holding their baggy old leotards together.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Like Superman meets Lady Gaga. I like it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32There's an odd hush as they prepare to begin.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34What are they aiming for, Haruka?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38The bottom, Al. And to get there in 12 seconds or under.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44Oh, my word. Yang Gang is doing a handstand on Mo Chang's neck!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50It's seriously dangerous.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53This is incredible.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57How do you do that with a whole person balancing on you?
0:04:57 > 0:05:01And how do you balance one-handed on a moving neck?
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Phenomenal!
0:05:02 > 0:05:05And they've made it to the bottom.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07But did they do it in under 12 seconds?
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Of course they did!
0:05:16 > 0:05:19A spectacular world record!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Like the old saying goes, it's not what you wear,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26it's how quickly you can handstand down stairs with
0:05:26 > 0:05:28a person on your neck while wearing it.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Er, yes. Exactly.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Now back to Ben, pitch-side.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Ash and Sean have so far failed in their bid to hit six
0:05:36 > 0:05:40volleyed shots against the crossbar in one minute.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Is the record even possible?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46They're physically exhausted, they've got one more attempt.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48This one's got to count. Come on!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Three...two...one... Go!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53'This...is...it!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56'O-o-oh! Too low!
0:05:56 > 0:05:57'And again!
0:05:59 > 0:06:03'That's it! A perfect lob! Off the bar and shooting skyward!
0:06:03 > 0:06:05'Come on, boys!
0:06:06 > 0:06:08'And another bar-bouncing beauty!
0:06:08 > 0:06:09'Game on!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14'An early hat-trick!
0:06:14 > 0:06:18'O-o-o-o-oh! That looked like it skimmed the bar. Will it count?'
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- 30 seconds. - 'Halfway through now.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23'O-o-o-oh. Too low, again.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27'They're losing their rhythm here. They need to get back in the zone.'
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Yes! 'That's more like it.' Yes!
0:06:30 > 0:06:33'And another. Two on the bounce. The record could be on here.'
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Yes! 'What a strike! Unbelievable tekkers!'
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Five...four...three...two...one...
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Time!- Yes! What was that? That was brilliant!
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Come on!
0:06:52 > 0:06:55'That was undoubtedly their best effort.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57'But were there enough valid crossbar hits
0:06:57 > 0:07:00'to reach their six-shot target?
0:07:00 > 0:07:01'Over to referee Mark.'
0:07:01 > 0:07:04It was a valid attempt, and you achieved...
0:07:04 > 0:07:07seven, so that's a brand-new Guinness World Record.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Congratulations.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Ash and Sean did it. Back of the net. Or top of the crossbar.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Now to the bunker for even more thrilling footwork.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Hee-hee-hee.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Every solar year,
0:07:31 > 0:07:35a thunderously thrilling threesome unite in a top secret bunker
0:07:35 > 0:07:40to compete for world record titles that you can try at home.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42They are...
0:07:42 > 0:07:46The beating heart of America - US Ray.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50The prodigious pride of Japan - Mr Cherry.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54And the personification of British lionheartiness -
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Drizzling Sizzling Steve.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58This is...
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Previously, on Officially Competitive...
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Mr Cherry gave a masterclass in chopstick shuttlecocking
0:08:10 > 0:08:13to claim his third world record of the series.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17And joined Ray at the top of the
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Officially Competitive league table.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23But anything could happen in today's secret...
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Our gladiators have to face a world record with...
0:08:30 > 0:08:32..and...
0:08:32 > 0:08:33..what they're doing.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35The record is...
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Before the competitors get balloon-stomping,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46a small morale boost from their mentors.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48How delighted were you that it's not a team effort?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Quite pleased, because this time I might actually get the record.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I remember last series, we had a particularly bad attempt
0:08:53 > 0:08:56at a water balloon record. How's this one going to differ?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58As it's just me this time, it should be fine.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01OK, Steve, I feel like you keep coming back to the fact that,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04because we're not doing it together, you're going to be OK at this.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06There's a good chance I will be.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Last time we faced water balloons, US Ray stole the day.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Last series, you were breaking them with your head.- Right.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17But you're using those sweet athletic feet this time.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Do you think that gives you more of an advantage, because you're
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- using your feet rather than your head?- Yeah. I've got fast feet.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Let me see them right now.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- See? I didn't even see it. - Yeah, exactly. Moved so fast,
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- you didn't know what I did. - US Ray all day.- Cool.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Ray might have fast feet, but Cherry-san has ninja feet.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36CHERRY SPEAKS IN JAPANESE
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- TRANSLATED:- Ninja feet in ninja slippers!
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- TRANSLATED:- Look at my leg!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52It's a joy to behold such greatness.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Take over, Al!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58The water balloons must be at least 10cm in diameter,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00and can be arranged in any formation.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05They must be burst with bare feet only.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08The target for this new world record is to
0:10:08 > 0:10:12burst 20 balloons in just 25 seconds.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17And if you try this at home, make sure you use a non-slip surface.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Ninja-footed Mr Cherry goes first.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Three...two...one. Go!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26He's scattered the balloons everywhere.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29But Cherry's in high-speed pursuit.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Ooh! Two balloons in one mighty stamp!
0:10:33 > 0:10:35But what happened there?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38A water balloon escaped the Cherry stomp, intact.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44And look at that! A succession of non-bursters!
0:10:44 > 0:10:47How are they surviving the onslaught of Cherry's ninja feet?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- HORN BLOWS - He's a balloon-bursting machine!
0:11:01 > 0:11:06A traditional salute there, indicating it's time for US Ray.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Ray doesn't want to be running around like Cherry,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12so he's packed his balloons together in a tidy group.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14The man's a genius.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Three...two...one. Go!
0:11:19 > 0:11:22A genius who's just scattered his balloons everywhere.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Good job Ray's got pace.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28He's on a mission to obliterate those balloons.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Ray's stomping is savage. The balloons don't stand a chance.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37And he's done. Great work, Ray.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Take a well-earned... O-o-oh!
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Where did they come from?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45It's a four-balloon escapee contingent!
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Aaaaaah!
0:11:49 > 0:11:53And with that volcanic burst, Ray really is done.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57A valiant performance. Eventually.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01This record involves athletic speed, words not synonymous with Steve.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06But he is a master tactician. Observe his strategic balloonage.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08You've got to admire that.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10He's laying them out for maximum destruction,
0:12:10 > 0:12:15- minimum movement. - His life's mantra. Classic Sizzler.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Three...two...one. Go!
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Two remain un-popped.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26They've stayed in place though, Haruka, and that is crucial.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- This is impressive stomping.- Indeed.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Behold the rhythmic majesty of Steve's balloon obliteration!
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Come on, Steve! Over here! Yes! Yes, Steve! Come on, Steve!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Two more! Two more! Yes, one more, one more!
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- HORN BLOWS Yeah!- A pop-tastic performance.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49But did anyone burst all their balloons in under 25 seconds?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Do we have a world record, Shantha?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Yes. - THE OTHERS:- O-o-o-o-o-oh!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57In third place,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01with a time of 20.539 seconds...
0:13:01 > 0:13:04'Even the loser broke the world record target!'
0:13:04 > 0:13:06..is Ray.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10And in first place,
0:13:10 > 0:13:14with a time of 12.856 seconds...
0:13:14 > 0:13:18'Almost half the record target!'
0:13:18 > 0:13:20..Steve!
0:13:20 > 0:13:22HEROIC MUSIC
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Incredible! The tortoise has beaten both hares with his
0:13:26 > 0:13:29tactical genius, and got a second world record of the series.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Yeah, bursting with excitement.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34HEROIC MUSIC DIES
0:13:34 > 0:13:37That victory puts the leaderboard level,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39with only three challenges to go!
0:13:39 > 0:13:42What'll happen next time when we combine bravery
0:13:42 > 0:13:45and dice in one explosive mix?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48And return with more
0:13:48 > 0:13:50rollicking records like these.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54# Well, Ash and Sean were looking forlorn
0:13:54 > 0:13:56# They just couldn't do enough crossbar hits
0:13:56 > 0:13:58# But on their final try, these freestyle guys
0:13:58 > 0:14:00# They beat that target of six
0:14:00 > 0:14:02# Our heroes had to compete
0:14:02 > 0:14:04# To burst water balloons with their feet
0:14:04 > 0:14:06# Ray and Cherry had to run
0:14:06 > 0:14:09# But Steve's clever plan meant he won
0:14:09 > 0:14:13# And these two guys had a flair for going down stairs
0:14:13 > 0:14:16# But here come the rubbish bits
0:14:16 > 0:14:18# The outtakes! #
0:14:20 > 0:14:22When I heard that a... Ugh.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25That a couple of footie freestylers...
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I was delighted. No, I wasn't!
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Finally, a chance to show... No-o-o-argh!
0:14:30 > 0:14:33A chance to showcase my footie skills... No!
0:14:33 > 0:14:37When it comes...to football. Huh. Beat that.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39LAUGHTER
0:14:39 > 0:14:40BEN GROANS
