When I was a kid, my biggest dream was to get in the Guinness Book of World Records. My plan? To make the largest pizza ever in my school’s backyard.
Sadly, I’m pretty sure that I got the idea from a TV show, and my dream never came to pass. Fortunately, there are plenty of other folks all over the world making and breaking records every day.
You can get in the Guinness Book if you take just about anything to the extreme, whether it’s dedicating yourself to fitness, or simply owning a very large amount of Spice Girls memorabilia.
If neither of those things appeal to you, there are plenty of other options. For example, there’s an upcoming opportunity to be part of the World’s Largest Pyramid of Water Skiers.
Colloquially known as ‘The Big Pull,’ this is an annual event in Lake Wazeecha in Wisconsin. Every year, dozens of water skiers get together to attempt to break their previous record, which they earned in 2013.
Their record at the moment is a group of 60 successful skiing in pyramid formation, an improvement on the previous record (held by the same group) of 54. They attempted to beat the record once more in the summer of 2014, but were not successful.
Now, they’re planning to repeat their annual attempt on August 29th, 2015. Whether they succeed or not, it’s bound to be a breathtaking display.
In the meantime, check out their record-setting performance from 2013. And don’t forget to SHARE their incredible skills with all your favorite sports fans!
