IShowSpeedโs attempt
After his announcement of his quest to break the World Record went viral on X, people raced to the comments section to express their joy over the YouTuber’s most recent physical prowess.
With plans to wake up at 3.45 AM EST (12.45 AM PST, 8.45 AM BST), Speed had executed 660 backflips about eighteen hours into the webcast. With only six hours remaining, he intends to finish another nearly 350 backflips.
Speed has not woken up as of 3.50 AM EST, the time of the most recent update. The YouTuber accomplished almost 300 backflips in less than three hours, achieving nearly a third of his goal faster than he ever could have dreamed.
Jake Paul, a former YouTuber who is now a boxing celebrity, sent the streamer a massage therapist soon after he started the challenge to assist prevent muscle strain. Speed enjoyed his massage for a little while, but he returned to work soon, determined to break the world record.
At roughly 460 backflips, just shy of the halfway mark, Speed opted to take a break and recuperate owing to his legs failing out. Speed is concerned that he won’t be able to finish the challenge because his legs will be “locked up”. He has now quit midway after completing 660 backflips.
