Spain

Most Tennis Ball Bounces On A Tennis Racquet While Riding A Pogo Stick

jose manuel martin molina

Jose Manuel Martin Molina of Ayamonte, Spain bounces a tennis ball on his racquet 106 times in a row while hopping on a pogo stick in an underground parking garage. He keeps one hand on the pogo stick and the racquet in the other, and the ball never touches the ground until he ends the run with a big overhead swing. RecordSetter tracked the ball through the single 55 second take, which has no cuts, and our count lined up with his 106. Two kinds of bounce, one steady rhythm.

Highest Points Earned In "Wii Sports - Tennis" Returning Balls

JimmyNutrin

Thomas Whelan returned 613 balls in a single run of Returning Balls, the tennis training game in Wii Sports, before one finally slipped past. The video, filmed off a TV screen in Dublin, picks the run up at 210 and follows the game's own counter without a cut to 613 and the "Finished" call, with a few pauses on the HOME menu along the way. The results screen then reads 101, because the game stores this score in a counter that rolls over every 256 points, and 613 is exactly two rollovers plus 101.
