Jack Nunn, a former US national team rower who won silver in the eight at the 2001 Under-23 World Rowing Championships in Linz, Austria, finished three of triathlon's most punishing races in a little over two years. He completed the Norseman Xtreme Triathlon in Norway in 15:02:45 in August 2017, the three-day, 320-mile Ultraman Florida in 33:24:36 in February 2019, and the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii in 15:05:51 in October 2019. RecordSetter checked each finish against the official published race results, for a combined 63 hours, 33 minutes and 12 seconds. Not bad for a 6-foot-3, 220-pound athlete built for a rowing shell rather than a mountain climb.

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.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina of Ayamonte, Spain stands on the front pegs of his red BMX with the bike behind his back and pogo hops on the front wheel 355 times in an underground parking garage. The video is a single 2 minute 11 second take with no cuts, filmed from a low fixed angle in front of a green garage door, and the rear wheel stays in the air until he steps off at the end. RecordSetter tracked the rhythm of the hops across the take, about three per second, which comfortably covers his count. Most riders face the bars for this trick; he does it looking the other way.
