IShowSpeed is attempting to break a world record.

The internet personality took to YouTube on Tuesday to stream his attempt at doing the most backflips in 24 hours. At the time of this writing, Speed had done over 450 backflips in around five hours.

According to the Guinness World Records website, the current record is 1,001 backflips, which Austrian native Nico Scheicher set in 2019. However, Speed’s stream shows that the current record is 1,008, which might just mean that’s the number he’s trying to reach in 24 hours.

However, there might be a problem with Speed officially breaking the world record. Dexerto reports that you have to register with Guinness and sign an agreement before attempting to break a record.

It’s unclear whether Guinness knows about Speed’s endeavor. The organization’s X account responded to Speed’s attempt, tweeting, “We had no idea this was happening but you do you bro.”
