Watch: Men attempt record by popping balloons between their bodies
July 25 (UPI) -- Serial Guinness World Record-breaker David Rush unofficially broke a record when he and a friend popped 10 balloons between their bodies in 7.5 seconds. Rush, who has more than 181 Guinness World Records titles to his name, originally teamed up with friend Jonathan "Hollywood" Hannon and popped 10 balloons between their bodies in 15 seconds, enough to overtake the previous record of 17 seconds. The duo soon found their time had been beaten by Colton Sheperd and Cameron Severson, who popped their balloons in only 11 seconds. Rush and Hannon made another attempt at the title, managing to get their time down to 7.5 seconds. Evidence from their attempt must now be reviewed by Guinness World Records before it becomes official.

Watch: Chopstick 'ninja' skills earn Idaho man a Guinness World Record
March 31 (UPI) -- The world's top Guinness World Record-breaker put his "ninja" skills to the test by using chopsticks to hit a target across a distance of 13 feet. Idaho man David "Record Breaker" Rush, who holds the most concurrent Guinness World Records, reclaimed the record for the most target hits with chopsticks in one minute. The record requires a prospective record-breaker to stand 13 feet away and hit the inner gold and red circles of the archery target. "Chopsticks flew. One after another, they sailed through the air, finding their mark in the coveted gold and red zones. The rhythm was almost meditative, each successful hit fueling the next," Rush recalled. Rush originally set the record at 19 hits, but his title was later taken by another chopstick marksman who managed 21. Rush successfully retook the record with 29 hits.

Watch: Apple juggler takes 198 bites in one minute
Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Serial Guinness World Record-breaker David Rush took his juggling skills -- and his snacking prowess -- to the extreme by taking 198 bites out of three apples while juggling the fruits for one minute. Rush, who holds the most concurrent Guinness World Records titles, previously set the record for most bites taken out of three apples while juggling at 164 during the 2018 MIT Juggling Convention. He took aim at his own title during a visit to Guinness World Records headquarters in London. "The rules are strict so each bite has to be small, precise, and fast," Rush wrote online. "There's no time to swallow (even though swallowing is allowed), so I had to spit out the bites while keeping the apples in motion (but only after my mouth couldn't hold anymore to be efficient)." Rush successfully broke the record with 198 bites -- a rate of more than three bites per second.
