May 8 (UPI) — An Idaho man with more than 350 Guinness World Records titles added another to his tally by balancing a skateboard on his chin for over an hour.
David Rush, who has previously broken several records involving balancing objects on his chin, said he decided to attempt the skateboard record after learning the category had been created, but not yet set.
“Right away I discovered the obvious problem: a skateboard is a surprisingly pointy object,” Rush wrote online. “Even 30 seconds was intensely painful.”
Rush said a friend with a large skateboard collection allowed him to borrow one that had a flatter edge, but still met size and weight requirements.
He took on the record during a break from a pickleball session at the YMCA in Boise. Rush managed to balance the board for 1 hour, 1 minute and 36 seconds, enough to take the title.
