  • From: gwr_day
  • Description:

    In the lead up to Guinness World Records Day, Brits that tune into BBC1 children’s television programme ‘Blue Peter’, could be in for something very special.  On Tuesday 10th November 2009 Norwich born power lifting champion Shaun Jones will attempt to break the record for the fastest time to burst a hot water bottle.  That’s right; using only his breath Shaun will blow into the hard plastic container and literally attempt to blow the current record to bits!

    

    This is Shaun stood alongside his singing motivational coach, Big Dom.

     

    The record is currently held by the American, Brian Jackson.  He managed the feat in 51.98 seconds at the Tahlequah High School, Tahlequah, Oklahoma, USA, on 13 April 2006.

    We managed to get hold of some footage of the strong man in training:

    Will he break the record?  Find out on Blue Peter (BBC1) from 16:30 on Tuesday 10th November!

    
    Interesting side note:

    Hi,

    My name is Jen Nora.  I live in a small town called "Lawton" in Oklahoma.  I am a small city journalist who absolutely LOVES to write creative pieces in the local paper (The Lawton Constitution).  I also do freelance work where I Ghost write books.  The funnest book I wrote was How to Rap.  A second book I am proud of is about a breakthrough  boil treatment that helps people.

    My friend told me about this website ... and because I like interesting, new things - Here I am.  So please feel free to leave me a note because what I like better than creative, interesting stuff is meeting new people.  Thanks for reading.

• 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:

    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.
