Aceri Tower, 50, broke 87 Guinness World Records in his half life, and there are still 22. It is said that among the fans of Guinness World Records, everyone knows the name of Archeletta.
Ashrita furman, 5 1 year-old, is a frequent visitor to the Guinness Book of Records. Up to now, he has broken more than 100 Guinness World Records, such as walking with a billiard stick on his index finger 1 1300 meters, bowling backwards 160 minutes and turning a hula hoop with a diameter of 4.5 meters.
Ashrita furman (formerly known as Keith) was born in Brooklyn, new york, USA on September 1954. Aceri Tower admitted that he was a little weak and lacked a sense of direction when he was a teenager, and later accepted the Sri Lankan religious leader? The teachings of Chinmoy. 1974, he adopted the name Asherita, which means "God bless" in Sanskrit, and now he has become a devout believer.
1978, Chinmoy suggested that Aceri Tower take part in the 24-hour bicycle marathon. Asherita found the comfort he could find through meditation in the marathon.
The Aceri Tower set its first world record on 1979, and completed 27,000 fireworks jumps. Since then, he has set 60 world records, but now he only holds the record of 14, and many records have been broken by others. Asherita is the person who broke the record the most. If he suffers great pain in the record-setting process, he will use prayer to guide himself and help him overcome the pain. Aceri Tower believes that by breaking the record, he can get rid of conscious thinking and reach the spiritual level.

Archeletta first saw the Guinness Book of World Records when he was seven years old. He thought at that time, if only my name could be in this book.
He finally got what he wanted. Asherita is actually very busy. In his spare time, he practices some interesting items in the Guinness Book of World Records. Here are some of them.
Push an orange with your nose.
Some Guinness records look ridiculous. Pushing oranges with your nose is one of them, that is, lying on the ground and pushing oranges with your nose, the shortest time 1 mile. Asherita decided to give it a try.
For the first time, he only practiced 17 minutes and scored 440 yards. His nose is red and swollen, and blood keeps flowing. Not only that, but also his knee was bruised. However, he didn't lose heart and continued to practice.
Guinness's record is 74 minutes, and he is moving towards this goal. However, at this time, he learned that a new record was born, which was 44 minutes. Aceri Tower had to practice hard for another three weeks, full of confidence. He called Guinness excitedly, and Guinness told him that the record had been broken again, this time for 29 minutes.
Acelita was not easy to beat, which inspired his fighting spirit. When he is ready, he will start looking for a venue. He went to Vermont airport, hoping to break the record in the spacious waiting hall, but the director of hall 1 laughed and kicked him out. Fortunately, Hall 4 agreed.
On the day of the game, there were not many people in the waiting hall, but it caused a small-scale riot, because some stunned passengers couldn't believe their eyes and stopped to see what had happened. Oranges also have some problems. The oranges in the orchard of Asherita's friend are green. Upon request, Guinness confirmed that it was valid.
On the ground, Asherita also saw a puppy. It also stared at the orange at the tip of Asherita's nose and rushed towards it. If its owner hadn't caught it at a critical moment, it would have bitten the famous orange certified by Guinness Book of Records.
Finally, the Aceri Tower pushed the orange 65,438+0 miles in 24 minutes and 36 seconds, which is still maintained today.
Walking on spring stilts in Antarctica
Acelita dreams of breaking records on seven continents, so Antarctica is his dream place.
The Argentine navy helped him, and they sent him to a base in Antarctica by helicopter, where he won the race of jumping one mile on stilts in the shortest time.
It was a magical experience, Aceri Tower recalled. In Antarctica, it is even more difficult. His stilts were almost blown away by the helicopter leaving the base. When he jumped 0.75 mile, the stilts froze and the Aceri Tower fell down. Fortunately, he brought an extra one.
Other interesting project records of Aceri Tower include: skipping rope in the sea wearing a diving suit and carrying an oxygen bottle. He jumped 900 times an hour, setting a record. His friends are not idle on the shore. When he came up, they suggested that since he could jump rope in the sea, why not juggle three balls there, that is, top three balls with his hand and see how long he could last.
Achery Tower later went into the sea wearing a diving suit and an oxygen bottle. When he took a penalty, the fish in the sea shuttled around him. Finally, he also set a Guinness record of 48 minutes and 36 seconds without landing the ball.
First "jump"
27,000 firecrackers entered Guinness.
Reporter: When did you first set a world record? What kind of records?
My first record was jumping firecrackers (every time my leg jumped, my hand was high-five-the record at that time was 20 thousand jumps in a row. I can only do 50 at first, which means I'm really not an athlete. But I want to challenge this record. In a few months, I can continue to do 1000.
In July of 1979, I made 27,000 yuan, breaking the original record. In the end, I felt pain all over, but I kept reminding myself not to be affected by it. I was very excited to see my photo in Guinness World Records for the first time. It tested my training and my physical and inner strength.
horrible
Break 90 world records in 24 years
Reporter: What's the exact number of Guinness World Records you have? What's your favorite project?
I have 25 records at present, and I have 90 records since 1979. My record of walking on stilts in Xiamen, that is, my 9 1 record certificate, has not yet come out, and I am still sorting out the necessary written materials.
It's hard to say which record is the most important, because each one has taught me something and improved me. One of my favorite records is the somersault, because the distance of 20 kilometers is really difficult. I felt that I couldn't hold on for several times, but I tried to overcome my doubts and fatigue, even though I threw up once during somersault.
I also like another record, that is, I walked with a bottle full of milk on my head, and the bottle could not slide down. I walked135km! I like this record because everyone will laugh and feel stupid when they see me, but in fact it requires a lot of concentration and physical endurance. Guinness World Records is like this, many of them are naive-but in fact they need a lot of training and determination to become the world's number one.
But if I really want to choose the most important record, I will choose stilt running, because this record was not broken by 1 12, and I prepared for it for seven years before breaking the record. This also shows what I have always believed-what others can do, you can do it, as long as you have the determination.
The most difficult and dangerous
Go to the South Pole by military plane.
Reporter: I read that you walked in the South Pole with a spring. Is it the hardest time for you to set a record?
It has always been my goal to set a Guinness World Record in Antarctica, but I didn't know how to achieve it before, because it would cost a lot of money to go there by ordinary methods.
But I always believe that where there is a will, there is a way. When I was on holiday in South America, it happened that a friend of mine knew a senior officer of the Argentine navy. My friend introduced me to that man, and he was fascinated, so I went to the South Pole by military plane for free.
Due to the cold, the plane can only stay on the ground for 90 minutes. We must act quickly, make records and return to the plane immediately. It's hard to go there with spring because of the cold wind. After a while, the spring water froze. Fortunately, we have a spare one. This record is a real adventure, but it is also the most difficult, although it is only 1600 meters.
New plan
Jumping kangaroo balls on the Great Wall this Wednesday.
Reporter: All your world records were set in many different places. Do you have a world record in China?
June 65438+1October 65438+July 2004, I broke the 42-minute stilt running record in Xiamen, setting a new record. This record was previously created by France from June to 10 in 65438, and it is one of the oldest records. Now, China is the best place, because stilts are a traditional sport in China and have a long history in China. To be exact, the record of walking on stilts broken in China is the highlight of my life.
I have been hoping to break a record in the Great Wall for several years, and the happiness I get from the record-breaking place makes me more enthusiastic and encouraged. There is a record of bouncing a rubber ball with a diameter of 60 cm, called kangaroo ball, and walking a mile (1069 m). I hope to break this record on Wednesday, on the only man-made building that can be seen in space.
This information should be out of date, because that guy is still breaking records.
