Every week we shine a light on the coolest, wackiest, or most unique records from around the globe recently approved by our Records Management Team with our Spotlight series.
Stephen Rainey from Liverpool, UK perfected his incredible wheelchair skills from the age of 11 by playing basketball with his father.
Looking to showcase his incredible talent, the 24-year-old decided to attempt to break the Guinness World Records title for Most manual wheelchair spins in one minute. Watch the results in the video below.
Stephen attempted the record back in July at Lifehouse Brunswick Dock in Liverpool, UK where he also works. The publicity from the record attempt aimed to raise awareness of the wheelchair services they offer to local residents.
In practice Stephen reportedly managed up to 70 spins in the space of a minute. On the day, with a team of witnesses present, he managed a total of 66 spins, breaking the previous record of 63, which was achieved by India's Gulshan Kumarin 2011.
