THE BEST OF THE BEST AT X GAME
- From: sclaxton

Description:
HELLO!
Day two of the world's premier action sports competition X GAMES 15 came and went in a flurry of activity and unprecedented record-breaking activity!
Yes, once again the record book had to be re-written as two more challenges were set and met by the friends and fans of X Fest and Guinness World Records.
The MOST BACKSLIDE GRINDS IN 30 SECONDS (17) and the MOST ROCK-AND-ROLLERS IN 30 SECONDS which was tied at 16 between two young skateboarders later that afternoon.
It all goes to show that anyone can be a record breaker and stand side by side with your heroes and athletes. They inspire us to try harder and go further. Guinness World Records salutes them and acknowledges all their record-breaking talent.
Here is a list of your superlative X Games athletes who have been an inspiration for all:
1. Nate Adams
The longest Moto X dirt-to-dirt back flip measures 30.48 m (100 ft) and was completed by Jeremy Stenberg and Nate Adams during the Moto X Freestyle Finals at X Games 11 in Los Angeles, California, USA on 6 August 2005.
2. Tommy Clowers
The greatest height achieved in the X Games Moto X Step Up event is 10.67 m (35 ft), by Tommy Clowers (USA) at X Games Six in San Francisco, California, USA on 18 August 2000. Essentially a 'high-jump' on motorcycles, riders must try to clear a bar placed at the top of a steep take-off ramp.
Five riders have earned two medals each for Winter X Games Moto X - Mike Metzger, Mike Jones, Tommy Clowers, Caleb Wyatt and Brian Deegan (all USA).
3. Tony Hawk
Skateboard legend Tony Hawk (USA) became the first person to achieve a '900' (two and a half airborne rotations) in competition at the ESPN X Games Five in San Francisco, California, USA on 27 June 1999.

SKATEBOARDING DOGS UNDER THE M
- From: sclaxton

Description:
WOW! Just when you think X Games can't get any better it just does...
Los Angeles woke up to its usually cloudy self as we set up the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS booth and X Fest began. Please stop by and check it out, you can win all sorts of goodies as well as get your name in the Guinness World Records book! This year we're presenting the BMX PARK and SKATE PARK where we're gonna have a series of Guinness World Records challenges and athlete appearances.
So far LYNZ ADAMS HAWKINS, NYJAH HOUSTON (BELOW), BRIAN DEEGAN and JEREMY STENBERG are stopping by. Houston is the youngest X Games athlete ever, he was just 11 YEARS 246 DAYS old when he first competed in X Games 12 in 2006, ridiculous. I think when I was 11 I was still deciding what haircut I should have. And I still don't know. But more about that, and the athletes, later.
Our first day at the X Games 15 yesterday was a fun-packed, crazy day in which FIVE new Guinness World Records were broken. Not only did we have new records for MOST WHEELIE HOPS IN 30 SECONDS (62) and MOST BUNNY HOPS IN 30 SECONDS (41) but two kids also set records for MOST FRONTSIDE 360 SPINS (6) IN 30 SECONDS and MOST SHOVE-ITS IN 30 SECONDS (14). It sound so simple but these kids just walked up to the parks and without any preparation just did it. Our MC Eric tried doing the Frontside Spins and fell off! And yes, he can skateboard. To all of you, we salute and welcome you to Guinness World Records.
Our editor Craig Glenday was on hand also and made an acquaintance with a rather charming young bulldog called TILLMAN who was, well, you know...skateboarding. Yes, turns out that Tillman is a four-year-old bulldog who actually pretty gnarley and likes to skateboard. Quick as a flash, it was decided he merited a Guinness World Record so we thought we'd see how fast the young pup could cover 100 meters. With a quick push of his back paws he was off with Guinness World Records holding the stopwatch. Did he make it? Did he fall off and scrape his little ears or did he stay on and cross the finish time in record-breaking time? Check out this site for the next couple of days as you can watch the video right here!
More to come over the next few days so stay tuned but on the competition side the big news is that Australian JAKE BROWN came back stronger than ever after this scary fall last year and finally won Gold at Big Air - congrats Jake! In other news, TRAVIS PASTRANA got roasted by the industry, colleagues and friends at a special event at the Avalon in Hollywood. They, well, ripped him a new one as they say but all in the best of spirits as they saluted this great living legend. I had the pleasure of working with Travis on an episode of NITRO CIRCUS and he is a true inspiration as well as being a real gent. Many thanks for the memories Travis!

ANSWERS:
Fastest Racing Snail - 12% (932 votes)
The annual World Snail Racing Championships held in July at Congham, Norfolk, UK is conducted on a 33-cm (13-in) circular course, outside St Andrews Church. The runners race from the centre to the perimeter. Some race several times as they are divided into heats to cater for the 150 snail competitors who enter every year. The all-time record holder is a snail named Archie, trained by Carl Bramham (UK), who sprinted to the winning post in 2 min 20 sec in 1995. Apparently, like all great racing champions, he was sent to stud in a cabbage patch.

Most step-ups completed in one
- From: gwr_danny
-
Description:
To a soundtrack of rock music pumping throughout the Club Phoenix gym in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, a well-conditioned, superbly focused Arran McLellan faced not just one, two, nor three challenging obstacles… but a staggering 1,805 on his way to establishing a Guinness World Records™ record for the most step-ups completed in one hour with a 40 lb pack, as verified by Guinness World Records Adjudicator Danny Girton Jr.
As family, friends and fitness enthusiasts cheered for McLellan, the determined athlete set about meeting this world-class challenge by methodically elevating his feet atop a standard exercise bench and back down to the gym floor 1,805 times within 60 energy-packed minutes on 21 February 2009.
As entrepreneur of New Image Personal Training and a certified Commando Krav Maga instructor, McLellan maintains “a passion to continuously improve his knowledge and understanding of the human body as well as empower others to have the mental/physical tools they need in order to encounter life’s challenges”.
