Marco George Fastest speed on a motorcycle while performing a headstand handstand

Doing a handstand is tough but imagine trying to do one on a motorbike moving at record breaking speed! 🤸🏍

 Marco George is a motorcycle stunt rider from the UK who started doing handstands on his bike in competitions. 

He then kept trying to go faster to test his own strength – until he became officially the fastest, reaching an amazing speed of 122.59 km/h (76.17 mph). 

He is now the official record holder for the fastest speed on a motorcycle while performing a headstand/handstand.

This took him 3 years of practicing 2 to 3 days a week. Achieving the record became an obsession! 

To prepare he trained his body so that it would stay strong against the wind resistance created when travelling at that speed. 

During lockdown Marco also had lots of time to eat healthy and give his body a rest. Stunt riding is a very hard sport and Marco believes he will always have ache and pains.

There are many other records Marco would like to set. However, if anyone else tries to break this record, Marco will be ready to give it another go.  

 He would like to attempt other records including the fastest speed while riding a motorcycle backwards. 

He has a lot of respect for both the current record holders who are also legendary motorcycle stunt riders.

Marco believes that everyone has looked inside the Guinness World Records book and "imagined getting a place in the book as their own little piece of history". 

Now with Guinness World Records 2021 he has achieved his very own piece of history. 

You can find Marco alongside other incredible talents in the Recordmania chapter of Guinness World Records 2021, which is available to order now.
