0:00:02 > 0:00:05# Officially, officially, officially... Amazing! #
0:00:06 > 0:00:08All aboard!
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Hello, and welcome to the Officially Amazing railway.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14This elegant engine is the Shires Express
0:00:14 > 0:00:18and today it's on track to bring you a first-class journey -
0:00:18 > 0:00:21destination Recordsville! HORN BLASTS
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Full steam ahead!
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Here's what's on today's choo-choo-pendous show...
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Big Z and Thor are back!
0:00:32 > 0:00:35But what tests of their muscular might await?
0:00:36 > 0:00:41And our courageous warriors wrestle with some tiny cubes of doom.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45But first, it's a family affair.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Woohoo!
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Ah.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- Ah! - SHE LAUGHS
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Introducing the magically multi-talented Ramos family.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00There's...
0:01:11 > 0:01:14(Although this is a perfectly executed front-landing manoeuvre.)
0:01:14 > 0:01:17And...
0:01:17 > 0:01:21..who, today, will be attempting to break his own world record
0:01:21 > 0:01:22for the...
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Let's meet the family with your host...
0:01:28 > 0:01:30erm, me.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Is this what you wear all the time?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Is this the normal Ramos family routine?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Only for shows, Ben.- Right, OK.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- So, not round the house? - Not to go shopping in, no.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Jordan, this is a very technically-involved record.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43How exactly do you go about training for it?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46When you're there on the trampoline, you have to just think of one thing
0:01:46 > 0:01:49and that's putting the basketball into the hoop.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Your mind has be in one place
0:01:51 > 0:01:54because if your mind's everywhere, you know, it might not happen.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56How are the nerves right now?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00I'm really nervous about it but I've got every confidence in Jordan.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02He's very focused in his strength, you know,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06he's prepared for it, so, I'm pretty sure he will break it.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Jordan, Ramos family, best of luck for today.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I can't wait to see you attempt this record.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Here are the rules.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16An Olympic-sized trampoline must be used,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20the ball must be dunked - not thrown - into the hoop
0:02:20 > 0:02:23and Jordan is aiming to beat his own world record of...
0:02:25 > 0:02:30This record was previously held by German athlete Thilo Schwarck,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32who we met back in series one,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36where we also witnessed another equally athletic sportsman
0:02:36 > 0:02:38proving just how hard this event is.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40CRASHING
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Jordan is just going through his warm-up routine.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Remember - he's had years of training for this dangerous record.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Do not try this yourself.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Oh!- Yeah. It was just sideways a bit.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Mark, it's over to you.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56OK, Jordan, in your own time.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59We've come to this hall because it has the height needed
0:02:59 > 0:03:02for Jordan to be able to generate enough bounce
0:03:02 > 0:03:05to propel himself over 10 metres to that hoop.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09That's about the length of a double-decker bus.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Oh!
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Well, clearly, he felt something wasn't right with his bounce,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19so, wisely, he decided against going through with that attempt.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20But now he's ready to go again.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23OK, Jordan, in your own time.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26And he's quickly bouncing to a great height.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Now it's just about when Jordan believes he's ready
0:03:29 > 0:03:32to launch himself into that super slam dunk.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37What a leap!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44THEY CHEER
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Oh, yes! Unbelievable.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49A soaring, stunning slam dunk.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Just look at that elevation and the enormous distance he covers.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56He almost flew to that hoop.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00To meet the basket at exactly the right angle for the dunk
0:04:00 > 0:04:05takes almost unfathomable precision - not to mention courage.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10So, we know he rocketed a dizzying distance of 10.05 metres,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12but was that a valid dunk?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14In order for it to be a valid attempt,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17the ball has to be slam dunked into the hoop
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and it can't leave Jordan's hands,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22and I can reveal that the ball...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24did not leave his hands,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26so it is a new Guinness World Record!
0:04:26 > 0:04:28THEY CHEER
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Joyful celebrations, then, for the rip-roaring Ramos family.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36But who will be celebrating and Italy with Al and Haruka?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Whoa!
0:04:40 > 0:04:41A-a-a-ah!
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Ugh.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Ladies and gentlemen - Zydrunas and Thor!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53We've seen them ferrying fridges
0:04:53 > 0:04:55and laying waste to washing machines.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- HARUKA:- But this is the decider
0:04:59 > 0:05:03as these two super strong men attempt the world record for the...
0:05:06 > 0:05:08The current record stands at eight metres.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10And is held by Thor.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12These kegs weigh a hefty...
0:05:14 > 0:05:17The bar has been set at 8.05 metres
0:05:17 > 0:05:18and seems to be manned
0:05:18 > 0:05:21by the disgruntled cousins of the Super Mario Bros.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Cheer up, man!
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Big Z goes first.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Yah!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Oh! That could have been nasty.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Not only did he fail to throw the keg over the bar,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36he almost forgot to get out of the way when it came back down again.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Now, can Thor beat his own record?
0:05:43 > 0:05:44- AUDIENCE:- Ohh!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Oh, so close.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48He hit the bar.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Hit it? He almost shattered it!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Big Z needs to up his game.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57And it's high, but it's not high enough.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00So, he hasn't taken Thor's record.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03But can Thor out-Thor Thor?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Yah!- It's over!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08In-keg-ible! 8.05 metres.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12"Thor" real, Thor has taken this series two to one.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Now, it's time for three slightly smaller record-breaking giants.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Shh!
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Uh-oh.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Once upon a time, three gallant princes roamed the Earth
0:06:33 > 0:06:37attempting world records you can try at home.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Their names...
0:06:39 > 0:06:43from Japan, Prince Charming, Mr Cherry,
0:06:43 > 0:06:47from the States, Prince Radiant, US Ray,
0:06:47 > 0:06:53and from the UK, the Prince of Steves, Sizzling Steve.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56But this is no fairy story.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59This is a thrilling 15-part serial.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09See? Fortified.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Oh.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Previously on Officially Competitive...
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Stevie boy crushed the competition and some balloons underfoot,
0:07:18 > 0:07:19leaving everyone dead level
0:07:19 > 0:07:21on the leaderboard.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24So, who will take the lead after today's event?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32That means picking up a line of dice with two fingers - like this...
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Can someone get these please? - And cut!- Thank you.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Pathetic, Ben.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Here are the team talks.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Now, Steve, any two fingers can be used for this record,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43and I imagine the normal man
0:07:43 > 0:07:45would use his two index fingers,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47but I know you're not a normal man, Steve.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Which fingers are you using?
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Well, this time, I am a normal man.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I will be using my two index fingers.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Incredible.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Unorthodox by being orthodox. That's the Sizzler!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Well, Sizzler's ready to go.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Is Ray?
0:08:01 > 0:08:07For him, those tiny numbered cubes usually add up to dice-appointment.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Ray, let's be honest.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Dice records are... not your cup of tea.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13So, how are we going to make sure
0:08:13 > 0:08:16that we take this championship?
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Make it my cup of coffee.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18I like it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Show me the fingers you're going to be using.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23HE IMITATES GUN
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Al doesn't look convinced.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Will Cherry-san make sure Ray feels the pinch?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35How are you going to prevent the dice from falling?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- DUBBED:- Get a lot of this.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Power. Finger power.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Electric stuff from Team Japan!
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Now the rules.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50MR CHERRY FARTS
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Competitors first have 30 seconds to arrange their line of dice.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58With one finger at each end, the dice must then be lifted
0:08:58 > 0:09:00to a height of 46 centimetres
0:09:00 > 0:09:03and held there for five seconds.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07And the record to beat, currently held by Italy's Silvio Sabba,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09is 40 pinched dice.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11All right, Ray, it's time for you to step up.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- How's that, Al?- OK.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- SHANTHA:- Three...two...one...
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Go!- Come on, Ray, let's go. You've got this.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Now Ray's at the right height,
0:09:22 > 0:09:27he begins his first of the two attempts everyone's been granted.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30He has just 30 seconds to build the longest row of dice...
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- Three...- ..he thinks he can safely pinch-pick.- ..two...one... stop.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36That's a pretty long line.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41He now has to lift them nearly half a metre marked by that white pole.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Can he keep them together
0:09:45 > 0:09:47for five long seconds?
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Drop.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52That's my man!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Ray's got one successful lift.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Maybe now he can go big
0:09:55 > 0:09:58and break that awesome record of 40.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Two...one...stop.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03That's a colossal column of cubes!
0:10:04 > 0:10:09It looks about a third longer than his first attempt.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11So far, so good.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12You relax there.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Hold your breath, Ray!
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Stay there.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Oh, no!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Agh!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Dice-may for Ray!
0:10:22 > 0:10:27His horizontal tower collapses into a pile of cubic rubble.
0:10:27 > 0:10:33He was just fractions of a second from a huge score of 30 dice.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Can Mr Cherry better Ray's valid total?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Go!
0:10:40 > 0:10:45This is looking pretty similar to Ray's successful line of dice.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Stop.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47- MR CHERRY:- OK.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51But numbers mean nothing if you can't lift the dice.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Look at his hands!
0:10:53 > 0:10:56A clear tremor visible as the gravity of the situation -
0:10:56 > 0:10:58the sheer tension of the moment -
0:10:58 > 0:11:01threatens to overwhelm this proud champion.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06His record in training was just five.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07This would be huge!
0:11:07 > 0:11:09You may place them down.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11He's done it!
0:11:11 > 0:11:13THEY CHEER
0:11:13 > 0:11:15We should never have doubted the great man.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Nice to meet you! Woo!
0:11:19 > 0:11:21That's one valid lift.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Will he now make an assault on that record?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27He's definitely going for it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Look at this enormous snake of dice!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Surely, he can't lift this lot up.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36If anyone can, Cherry-san can.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Come on, dice!
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Er, I guess no-one can.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- Come on, dice! - But look - he's pressing on
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- even without the dice. - Come on! Come on, dice!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48That is the very definition of not knowing when you're beaten.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Yah!- Aaagh!
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Two similar successful pinches from Cherry and Ray
0:11:55 > 0:11:58but can Steve judge this right and beat them?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Go!- Yes, going third, the Sizzler may be holding all the cards.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05The question is, can he hold all the dice?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Because this challenge is about holding dice.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Stop.- Not cards.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12It's a very quick lift.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16But it's also a very wobbly line.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Agh!
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Dice-aster!
0:12:23 > 0:12:27And there we can see the fateful fracture in his queue of cubes.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- Go.- Steve has just one go left.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38He can't afford any mistakes.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40It's all or nothing.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Stop touching the dice.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43He's going big again.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Look at it.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48That's a really lengthy line.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49This is a huge risk.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Aagh!
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Steve's dicey dreams have been reduced
0:12:56 > 0:12:59to nothing more than dicey debris.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Much like his line of dice, he looks broken.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Let's get the verdict.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Shantha, do we have a world record?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- No. - AUDIENCE:- Aw!
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Never mind, there's still the all-important
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Officially Competitive point to play for.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16So, Shantha, what are our results?
0:13:16 > 0:13:22Steve, you were disqualified as you failed to complete either attempt.
0:13:22 > 0:13:28So, the winner, by one, with 22 dice is...
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- ..Mr Cherry.- Yeah!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Dice number one!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Ready? Number one!
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Number two.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43So, with just two events left,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Mr Cherry once again tops the table.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Can he be pegged back?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Find out next time
0:13:49 > 0:13:50as our contenders collide
0:13:50 > 0:13:54on a ball-bouncing battleground.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Join us then for more gasp-inducing greatness like this...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01# Well, if you ask me, the Ramoses might be
0:14:01 > 0:14:04# The most athletic family we've seen
0:14:04 > 0:14:05# And Jordan was our man
0:14:05 > 0:14:09# With his longest slam dunk from a trampoline
0:14:09 > 0:14:10# Who would pay the price
0:14:10 > 0:14:12# For trying to pinch-pick too many dice?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14# Well, Steve got a double deep queue
0:14:14 > 0:14:16# But Cherry won with 22
0:14:16 > 0:14:17# And Thor beat Big Z
0:14:17 > 0:14:21# With his mighty keg throwing
0:14:21 > 0:14:23# But here come the rubbish bits...
0:14:23 > 0:14:25# The outtakes! #
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Over to you, Sh...antha.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34THEY LAUGH
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I told you I can't do it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37She knows I'm going to mess up.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40She's already half laughing when I start saying it!
