In Japan, Haruka meets a man who wants to be a monkey.

Series about the world of official record breaking. Featuring a 13-year-old skateboarding genius and a PE teacher who may have the world's longest back hair.

Ben Shires investigates the world of record breaking and record breakers. Ben Shires meets the Moffatt brothers, who are vying with each other to break the Guinness World Record for the tightest parallel park. Aiming to park in a space just 13.1 centimetres longer than their car, it sounds impossible, but it's all about technique. Can they do it?

In San Diego we meet the coolest skater dude on the planet. 13-year-old Tom holds the world record for the first ever skateboard 1080, three complete rotations in midair. He has an even harder job when he tries to teach our American reporter Al some moves.

Ben's back with the Space Cowboy assisting in his latest amazingly tense record attempt. He's trying to break the record for the most roses cracked in a minute using a whip, but there's a catch. The flowers have to be held in someone's mouth. Guess who - hi Ben!

In Japan, Haruka finds a different way of running into the record books, demonstrated by a man who wants to be a monkey. 

Craig Bedford is a PE teacher who's bidding for a Guinness World Record for hair length. But it's not on his head because Craig is bald. So where on earth can it be? His pupils think it's weird, but is it Officially Amazing?
