Buckingham was pulled by a moving car along a pre-measured flat track, while strapped to a pair of skis, multiple times until he was “confident in his abilities,” the agency said. After a few practice attempts, a radar speed gun captured him breaking the record by zooming at a blistering 69 mph across the lot. The adrenaline junkie, who also goes by “MrWorldRecords,” has won five more titles since his August victory, including the most knife fire spins on a balance board in one minute at a record 104 spins and the fastest time to burst 100 balloons with the feet at a speedy 19.78 seconds, officials added.Teen takeovers turn city centers into scenes from 'The Purge,' with shootings, fights and dangerous stampedes: copsGuinness World RecordsIn February 2025, he broke the record for the fastest time to travel all seven continents — in just two days and 16 hours during a second attempt.
