LESSON 25
The most versatile record breaker in the world

Ashrita Furman: One of my absolute favourite records is pogo stick jumping and I've done that all over the world. I went up Mount Fuji in Japan - that was one of the first distance records I set on a pogo stick.

I've also set the fastest mile on a pogo stick, which I did in Antarctica. It took me 17 minutes and 45 seconds to go for a mile and the problem was, about three quarters of the way through, the spring on the pogo stick broke. It froze, so I quickly had to change pogo stick. I ended up finishing the mile but it was difficult.

Another pogo sticking record that I have is pogo sticking under water and this is crazy, but I got this idea, I jumped into a nearby pool with my pogo stick, I tied some weights around my waist and almost drowned but I finally figured out how to do it.

And I did that in the Amazon River for three hours and 40 minutes and I almost got eaten by piranhas.
