0:00:06 > 0:00:09ENGINES REV
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Ahoy there, me hearties. 'Tis I,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15Cap'n Ben Shires of the good ship Officially Amazing. Sail...
0:00:15 > 0:00:17THWACK Come on.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21Sailing the seven seas in search of the most fantastic of
0:00:21 > 0:00:23record-breaking talent.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25I taught them everything they know.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Here's what else is coming up on today's show.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30SEAGULL POOPS
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Oh, come on. Right on the poop deck. The irony!
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Worrying times for the Sizzler as Cherry and Ray try to pilfer
0:00:39 > 0:00:41one of his world records.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47And what in the name of Al Jackson are these people doing?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Find out soon, but first,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51I'm putting my sea legs back on.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Woohoo!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Oh! Ah!
0:00:58 > 0:01:02We first met awesome aqua-bikers Dan Rowan and Liam Mellot
0:01:02 > 0:01:04in series four,
0:01:04 > 0:01:08competing against each other in a bonkers barrel roll world record.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Now they're back, and this time, they're joining forces.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Yes, Dan and Liam will work together to attempt the record for the...
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Synchro-nice.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Welcome back to Officially Amazing.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Now, last time, of course, Dan, you took the record home, but you two
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- are back friends again now? - Yeah, of course.- Of course.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32- Built it back up.- Excellent.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34This time, it's backflips together.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Presumably, it's going to be a bit easier.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Not really. We've got to get them
0:01:38 > 0:01:44exactly the same time, which adds a whole new element to the record.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Well, that sounds positive. Here are the rules.
0:01:47 > 0:01:53The aqua-bikes must take off and land at the exact same time.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Only full revolutions of the Jet Ski will count, and the target
0:01:57 > 0:01:59for this brand-new world record
0:01:59 > 0:02:02is ten synchronised backflips in one minute.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Dan and Liam are professionals using specialised equipment,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09but this is such a dangerous record,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12we have Dave the medic on standby. Give us a smile, Dave.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Time starts when they begin their first flip.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18KLAXON BLARES
0:02:18 > 0:02:20ENGINES REV
0:02:20 > 0:02:22And they've started with a double flip!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24But were they in perfect unison?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Watch how Dan and Liam create a wake in the water,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35then spin around to ride the wave into the backflips.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38They're going for double somersaults each time
0:02:38 > 0:02:41to try and squeeze more flips into their minute.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49There just wasn't the synchronicity there, and that's what they need.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Oh, and Liam's crashed out. Will that flip count?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- KLAXON BLARES - Time.- OK, stop!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Some astonishing aqua-batics from Liam and Dan,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05but did they manage ten synchronised flips?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07They achieved...
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- seven.- Oh.- Seven!
0:03:10 > 0:03:14On their second attempt, the boys pushed things even further
0:03:14 > 0:03:17to try and land that magic ten, but...
0:03:18 > 0:03:19- Just nine.- Ah.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Oh, one flip short of the record.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25The boys are now physically exhausted.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Have they got any chance on their third and final attempt?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Find out after Al and Haruka bring us some
0:03:31 > 0:03:34ludicrous land-based flipping.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Ooh-ooh!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Ooh-ooh!- Ah!
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Welcome to China, where the Tagou Wushu school are about
0:03:44 > 0:03:45to attempt the record for the...
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Wow, look at them!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55What discipline!
0:03:55 > 0:03:58What wonderful colour-coded onesies!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01What beautiful tiny horses!
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Al, they're ponies.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05This is no time for zoology, Haruka.
0:04:05 > 0:04:11Can they somersault more than 22 people onto that tiny platform?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Three, two, one, go.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Whoa!
0:04:19 > 0:04:24This is impressive. They're building a box using the taller gymnasts,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26then filling it with the smaller ones.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31I imagine this is how they pack sardines in tin cans.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Oh, no, one's escaped! But what a pile-up.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38To qualify for the record, they must remain on the platform
0:04:38 > 0:04:41for ten seconds after the minute is up.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Easier said than done.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45This looks like a perilous game of human Jenga.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49CHEERING
0:04:49 > 0:04:51And that's it.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53But how many people were on the platform?
0:04:56 > 0:04:5726!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00A squash-tastic performance!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02And now back to Ben.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Freestyle aqua-bikers Dan and Liam have come within one flip of
0:05:07 > 0:05:10the synchronised backflip record.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Can they muster the strength
0:05:12 > 0:05:15to land ten flips on their final attempt?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16'It's now or never.'
0:05:16 > 0:05:18OK, they're starting, let's do this.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20KLAXON BLARES
0:05:20 > 0:05:22'One down, and that's a double.'
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Good. Really strong start.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31This is top drawer. Seamlessly synchronised.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33ENGINES REV
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Joyous jet-powered jumping. They're flipping at an incredible pace.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Oh, no. Just one there.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Oh, Liam pulls out of the double flip.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Is tiredness setting in?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Oh, Liam's stopped again. Come on, boys.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57But that's a solid double.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00KLAXON BLARES That's it, that's time.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Was it enough? That's going to be close.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Official adjudicator Mark reviews the attempt in slow-mo.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Did they reach ten this time?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10You achieved...
0:06:12 > 0:06:16..ten, so that sets a brand-new Guinness World Records title!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Yeah! Yeah! Put it there.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Dan and Liam did it.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24A spectacular show of skill and determination.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Now to the OC bunker for even more high-octane dynamism.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Yeah-ha-ha! Woohoo!
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Uh-oh.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Not long ago, in a secret bunker not that far away,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46three intergalactic adventurers united in combat to compete
0:06:46 > 0:06:49for world record titles that you could try at home.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52They are...
0:06:52 > 0:06:55trailblazing trooper US Ray,
0:06:55 > 0:06:59scintillating soldier of fortune Mr Cherry,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02and ravishing rebel Sizzling Steve.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04This is...
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Previously on Officially Competitive...
0:07:13 > 0:07:17A tactical disaster from the Sizzler gave Mr Cherry victory
0:07:17 > 0:07:19in the pinch-picking challenge.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Putting him clear at the top of the leaderboard
0:07:23 > 0:07:24with just two rounds left.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27So victory today would guarantee Cherry
0:07:27 > 0:07:30a preposterous fourth championship title.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33But to get there, he'll have to beat
0:07:33 > 0:07:36the current world champion at today's event.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Oh, yes.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Back in series one,
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Sizzling Steve and six orange balls set the record for the...
0:07:47 > 0:07:53Today, Mr Cherry and US Ray will try to wrestle that record from him.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56But can they beat the master at his own game?
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- So have you been training much for this record?- No.- No, not at all?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03It's quite a hard one to practise for, cos each surface is different.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- And do the others have a chance today?- No.- They don't?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Don't be silly. - All right, Steve, show this country,
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- nay, this world, what the Sizzler can do. Huzzah?- Huzzah!- Hmm.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16The champ is confident,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19but US Ray's had a world-class training partner.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Now, tell me this. I know you've been practising with your family.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Who's better, you or Grandma Ray?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Me.- All right, be honest.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Steve and Cherry aren't around.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30If Grandma Ray was here,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- could she beat both of them? - I think so, Al.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Wow! So if you can beat her, you can beat them.- You got that right.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I want to do this for Grandma Ray. How do you feel about that?
0:08:39 > 0:08:40- HE CHANTS:- Grandma Ray!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43BOTH CHANT: Grandma Ray! Grandma Ray!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45That's for you, Granny.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48But Grandma Ray is set for massive disappointment
0:08:48 > 0:08:50if Cherry gets his way.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Today, you have a chance to take a world record from Steve.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57How much do you want this?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- TRANSLATION:- Well, there's a famous Japanese saying,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03"The hand comes out at mouth,"
0:09:03 > 0:09:07which means, "I want it so much!" Ha-ha-ha.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12There can be no pinging or ponging without establishing some rules.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17The competitors must remain two metres away from the pint glass.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20The ping pong balls must bounce at least once
0:09:20 > 0:09:22before entering the glass.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25The balls may be launched no more than two at a time.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30And Steve's record to beat is six balls in a glass in one minute,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33and our world champion is up first.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Three, two, one, go.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37KLAXON BLARES
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Yes, Steve. Great start.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Oh, a salubrious slam-dunker!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Shantha's allowed a smooth bouncing palette for this record
0:09:46 > 0:09:49because of the uneven bunker floor.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Yes, come on, now.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53An unbelievably speedy second.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Come on. Oh!
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Yes!
0:10:01 > 0:10:03And it's a hat-trick.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- Oh! Come on, Steve.- 'Is there any point in the others even competing?'
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Come on.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Oh!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Oh, off the rim!
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Hmm, is the champ losing his magic touch?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Oh!
0:10:18 > 0:10:22He's doing everything right, but it's all going wrong.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Oh, not the rim again.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Come on.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Five...- Come on. - ..four, three, two, one, stop!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32KLAXON BLARES
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Oh, no. Out of time, and only three in the glass.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Worrying times for the Sizzler. He's left his record wide open.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43And US Ray is ready to bounce in and grab it.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Three, two, one...
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- ..go. - KLAXON BLARES
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Oh!
0:10:51 > 0:10:55A humdinger of a rim-skimmer. So close!
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Come on, Ray. There we go. Just like that.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Ah. Perfect.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03'Perfect? Apart from the not actually going in the glass bit.'
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Oh. Come on.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Let's go, Ray. Ugh!
0:11:07 > 0:11:11'This'll be the one. The bounce is powerful.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13'Tremendous trajectory.'
0:11:13 > 0:11:15'And it's going in. No-o-o! But it's flying up again.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18'No!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21'This time. Argh!
0:11:21 > 0:11:24'Ooh. Another brim-bouncer.'
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Come on. Yeah!
0:11:25 > 0:11:29At last. Get in there.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Now, that is as perfect a ping pong pinger
0:11:31 > 0:11:33as you're ever likely to see.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Come on, Ray. Only six more and Steve's record's gone.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- Five...- Oh. - ..four, three, two, one...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- KLAXON BLARES - ..stop!
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Disappointment for US Ray.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48And devastation for Grandma Ray.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53And so to Cherry. Victory, and he's ultimate champion again.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56But could he also take Sizzler's record?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Cherry is in full safety gear.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03You can never be too careful where potential glory is concerned.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Go! - KLAXON BLARES
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Ah, so close. And again.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13That rim is not making things easy.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Is Cherry going the way of Ray?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Ahh! 'Yes! That's one!'
0:12:19 > 0:12:22And what a glorious swirling swiveller that was.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Ah! 'That's two. And three!'
0:12:28 > 0:12:30A dazzling double-dunker.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33'Just one more for the championship title.'
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Don't know if I can cope with the pressure.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- 'Millimetres from glory.' - Ten seconds left.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Is the occasion getting to the big man?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Five, four, three...
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Ye-e-e-s!
0:12:49 > 0:12:50CHEERING
0:12:50 > 0:12:54The glass is full to the brim, so Haruka replaces it.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55..one.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57KLAXON BLARES
0:12:57 > 0:13:02The Sizzler rejoices as his six-ball record is safe.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05But if all four of Cherry's balls were legitimately bounced,
0:13:05 > 0:13:10he's won himself the point and the Officially Competitive title.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Shantha, please reveal the results.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16In third place, with one,
0:13:16 > 0:13:17is Ray.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- 'Grandma Ray will be fuming.' - Good job, man.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24And in first place, with four,
0:13:24 > 0:13:25is Mr Cherry.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Cherry did it!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30And a traditional victory crab-dance from the champion.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Ping pong jump!
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Four valid ping pongs, one competitive point
0:13:40 > 0:13:44and Cherry-san is unreachable at the top of the table.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Meaning it's a fourth competitive title for Cherry,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51who will be crowned next time,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54when our heroes dress oh-so beguilingly
0:13:54 > 0:13:56for their final challenge.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Find out why when we return
0:13:58 > 0:14:02with more exhilarating exertions like these.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06# Well, Liam and Dan were both the man as they showed off
0:14:06 > 0:14:07# Their aqua-bike tricks
0:14:07 > 0:14:09# It took a few tries
0:14:09 > 0:14:12# But these two guys did the most synchronised backflips
0:14:12 > 0:14:14# Our competitors had the task
0:14:14 > 0:14:16# Of bouncing ping pong balls into a glass
0:14:16 > 0:14:18# Cherry won with four
0:14:18 > 0:14:20# So he is our champ once more
0:14:20 > 0:14:24# And somehow 26 people flipped onto a platform
0:14:24 > 0:14:27# But here come the rubbish bits
0:14:27 > 0:14:29# The outtakes. #
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Oh, no. Argh!
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Argh! Argh! Oh!
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Oh! I almost capsized!
