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