Most people to yo-yo simultaneously
On 27 July 2008 Ipswich Central in Suffolk, UK went yo-yo crazy by setting two different yo-yo records in one day.
The first attempt was set by Arron Sparks for the most hop the fence tricks in one minute. Arron set a new Guinness World Record with a staggering 144 in one minute. With this kind of talent it is not surprising Arron was ranked 4th at the World Yo-Yo Contest at only 18 years of age.
The second record of the day was for the most people to yo-yo simultaneously. The previous record was 432 participants which was set in Canada back in 2006.
Everyone taking part was very keen and practiced with their yo-yo’s to make sure their technique was up to scratch ready for the start of the attempt.
Arron entertained the crowd with amazing yo-yo tricks while Guinness World Records Adjudicator, Laura Farmer, verified the numbers with the organizers. It was very close but Ipswich Central set a new record with 435 people, only 3 more than the previous record.
Organizers from Ipswich Central Management were very happy they had set a new record and were glad Ipswich Central was now on the record breaking map!
