Ashrita Furman

Ashrita has set - 342 - official Guinness Records since 1979 and currently holds - 124 - standing records including the official record for the most records held at the same time by an individual.

He currently holds the title for records such as:

Largest Popcorn Sculpture

Most Pancakes Caught In A Minute

Largest Pencil

Most Star Jumps In A Minute

And the most interesting for me:

Quickest time to peel and eat a lemon (currently standing at 8.25 seconds.

I'd actually love to break this record, I might have to practise an awful lot but it's possible, lemon is the nicest taste!



Ashrita has broken a Guinness record on every continent including hula hooping for the fastest mile at Ayers Rock (Uluru) in the Australian bush and completing the fastest mile on a pogo stick in Antarctica. Ashrita has also set records at many famous landmarks around the world including standing on a Swiss Ball for the longest time at Stonehenge in England, balancing a pool cue while walking the longest distance at the Pyramids in Egypt, skipping rope the most times in a minute while jumping on a pogo stick at Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and bouncing the fastest mile on a kangaroo ball along the Great Wall of China.

I'm trying to show others that our human capacity is unlimited if we can truly believe in ourselves,"
