This record was set as part of Prius Records, a two-day event streamed live on the Internet. In a 48-hour period, URDB officials adjudicated 200 Prius-related world records. This was the most records ever documented in a 48-hour window, a world record in and of itself. The event took place in Los Angeles, California on March 30th and 31st, 2011. See all the records set at the event here.

Biresh Prasad pedaled backwards on a bicycle a cumulative distance of 52,000 kilometers from 2004 to 2023. He rode his bicycle in 63 different countries.

58-year-old BMX rider Martin Tuson of Bangor, Northern Ireland, did 148 inverted-grip front hops in a row in the Bangor Elim Church car park on a windy day. With his palms facing up on the bars, he keeps the rear wheel in the air and bounces on the front wheel for close to 50 seconds without stepping off. The run is filmed in one continuous take, and its pace matches the 148-hop count. Not bad for a blustery afternoon.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina of Ayamonte, Spain flips his red BMX upside down, stands it up on the back wheel and pogo hops on the back pegs for 150 hops in an underground parking garage. The low-angle video is a single 63-second take: he climbs onto the inverted bike in the first few seconds, then keeps hopping across the garage toward the far door without a foot touching the floor. RecordSetter tracked his feet frame by frame and measured a steady pace of about three hops per second, which backs up his count. Same bike, new way up.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina turns his BMX handlebars around backwards, stands up with both feet on the top tube and front hops 158 times through an underground parking garage in Ayamonte, Spain. The single take runs about 54 seconds with the back wheel in the air the whole time: he hops from the far garage door up to the camera, passes it side-on, then turns and hops back the way he came. RecordSetter's frame-by-frame motion count backs up his 158 at a steady pace of about three hops per second. Even the steering works in reverse on this one.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina performed 211 BMX back peg pogo hops while facing away from the bike in a parking garage in Ayamonte, Spain. With the handlebars behind his back and the front wheel raised, he kept hopping as he turned across the garage floor. Video review supports his stated count and shows the backwards-facing stance throughout the run. A familiar trick, turned around.

Seven-year-old Parker Gray sat on his BMX in a quiet street in Newport, South Wales, while his mum and dad turned a long blue skipping rope over him, and he bunny hopped the bike clear of it 17 times in a row. The video was shot on a phone held in one turner's rope hand, and RecordSetter counted the rope turns in the single unedited take: 18 turns in about 24 seconds, with the 18th catching his front wheel to end the run. Skipping is hard enough without a bike under you.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina flips his red BMX upside down in a parking garage in Ayamonte, Spain, stands it on its front end with the back wheel pointing at the ceiling, and climbs onto the pedals. From there he bounces the whole bike off the concrete 27 times in just over nine seconds, then jumps clear and catches the bike before it tips. We counted every hop frame by frame in his single continuous take, and the sound of each landing matches the count. Riding a bike is hard enough the right way up.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina rides his red BMX across a palm-lined plaza in Ayamonte, Spain, and five times in 20 seconds he pitches forward over the handlebars, flips upside down and lands on his feet. After every landing he grabs the bike, hops back on and rolls straight into the next one. We counted all five flips in his continuous 20-second clip, filmed from a fixed camera with the plaza's bandstand behind him. Most riders spend years trying not to go over the bars; he does it on purpose, on repeat.
