An Idaho man with multiple Guinness World Records titles for juggling brought his muscles into the mix by involving a 10-pound bowling ball — and a balance board.
David Rush, who holds the most concurrent Guinness World Records titles, put his strength and coordination to the ultimate test when he attempted the record for the most juggling catches of a bowling ball and two balls on a balance board in one minute. Advertisement
He attempted the record during a visit to Guinness World Records headquarters in London.
“The hardest part wasn’t just the juggling or the balancing — it was the combination of both, along with the added challenge of the bowling ball’s weight and the board’s instability,” Rush wrote online.
Rush said there was an added challenge of not being able to use the balance board he practiced with, as it was too large for easy travel.
“Every time I caught the bowling ball, the board would slide across the rolling rock or the floor, creating a super slippery surface. It felt like I was juggling on ice,” he said.
Despite the challenges, Rush managed to set the record with 243 catches. Advertisement
“My biceps were screaming by the end of the attempt, but the real pain came from the outside of my wrists. I was dealing with tendinitis, which made every catch even more painful,” he said.
