Gujarati boy spins 22 times on wave board in one minute, sets world record. Read 11-year-old's inspiring tale

A Guinness World Record has been set by Hardik Raghuwanshi, an 11-year-old Gujarati kid. Hardik informed his father, Ajay Raghuwanshi, that he intended to attempt a world record.

The old record of 18 spins, which Javier Lopez of California, USA, held, was surpassed by Hardik Raghuwanshi by doing 360-degree spins 22 times.

The seventh-grader at Bright Day School stated that neither he nor any other student had formal training in using the caster board before setting the record. On his Instagram profile, the lively boy often posts a video of himself using the caster board. Despite not receiving coaching or professional instruction, this is a fantastic accomplishment.

What is the difference between a skateboard and a caster board?

A skateboard has different diameters ranging from 7.25 to 8.5 inches and is rectangular in design. These are regularly utilised in skate parks, vacant swimming pools, bowls, half-pipes, quarter-pipes and streets.

The wave board is another name for the caster board. The boards have waves and curves, so they differ slightly and move more quickly when you ride. On the other hand, the caster board has a different size and form but accomplishes the same task as skateboards. The caster board only has two wheels, compared to the four wheels of a skate.

A Desire to Break the World Record

Raghuwanshi asserted that after three years of caster board practice, he got a life-changing vision.

He claimed that when performing a task one day, he rotated the caster board in a circle, letting him understand that he could perform 360-degree rotations. After being astounded by his abilities, he told his father about his ambition to attempt a Guinness World Record.

With his eyes focused on the world record, Hardik continued to train for nearly a year without seeking professional training. Since these resources were still restricted due to the COVID-19 breakout, it wasn't easy for him. Additionally, he fell a couple of times while practicing on the caster board.

Hardik Raghuwanshi Breaks Javier Lopez's World Record

To beat Javier Lopez of California, the United States, who had earlier held the record with 18 rounds, he only needed 17 days from that point on.
Also, the enthusiast wants to grow up to be an astronaut.

According to his father, he became the first person from Vadodara to set a world record on January 22 in the athletic division. Hardik wanted to attempt the most 360-degree rotations possible, but the GWR "would not allow it on the principle of endurance."
