This talented 12-year-old set a world record while balancing on his bike

Meet Jordi Sala Hernandez, a 12-year-old trials biking titan from Girona, Spain.

He holds the record for the most car roofs traversed on a bicycle performing a wheelie in one minute!

This means Jordi had to hop across 10 cars that were parked next to each other while balancing on the back wheel of his bike.

He achieved a total of 27 jumps at the Circuito de Jarama racetrack in Madrid, Spain, on 18 December 2024.

Do you want to know something crazy?

Prior to the record attempt, Jordi had NEVER tried jumping across car roofs before!

Instead, he practised by hopping between rocks on his bike.

The brave biker told GWR: “Once you've mastered that, you can adapt it to any surface.”

Jordi had to contend with the cars moving slightly every time he landed on them.

However, with his dad there to support him, he remained calm and successfully completed the challenge.

Fun fact – this record had never been attempted before, making Jordi the first person to hold this GWR title!

How cool is that?!

Which world record would you most like to try?

To make his record-breaking experience even more exciting, Jordi attempted this challenge on our Spanish TV programme, La Noche De Los Récords 2025.

 “It was truly a very good experience,” he said.

So, how did Jordi get into biking?

“As a child, I didn't watch many cartoons, but what I did watch were my two role models, Danny MacAskill and Fabio Wibmer.”

MacAskill and Wibmer are both professional trials cyclists.

Trials biking requires riders to complete short, timed courses involving steep hills and troublesome obstacles, such as steps, branches and rocks.

During the trials, riders have to avoid placing their feet on the ground, as this can lead to points being deducted.

Jordi asked for his first trials bike when he was 6 years old.

And within just 2 years, he won his first World Championship!

“As soon as I practised, I came up with some really cool tricks,” the youngster recalled.

That’s so impressive!

So, what’s next for the young world champion?

“The truth is that [I'm] a bit unsure, since everyone tells me that in the world of cycling, especially the discipline of trials, there is no one who makes a living mainly on a bike,” he explained. "So, for now, I plan to enjoy it and time will tell.

“I would really like to be a leading YouTuber specialised in my discipline, like Fabio Wibmer and Danny MacAskill.”

We believe in you, Jordi!

Since starting his YouTube channel, “Jordi Sala Biker”, in 2020, he has already amassed 710,000 subscribers!

What would you like to be when you’re older?

Congratulations, Jordi, you are Officially Amazing!
