Would you encourage your son to limbo skate under cars?
The latest craze among kids in India is Roller-skating under cars. Six-year-old Aniket Chindak holds the unofficial world record for "limbo-skating" and speeds along no more than eight-inches above the ground. Unfolding his body from his eye-watering position, the wonder-kid explained proudly how he is training to break his own world record of skating under 57 cars in 45 seconds.
"It took three months before I could get my body in the right position. Since then I have skated under lots of cars and have never hurt myself. The hardest thing is to go fast enough before I bend down, because that's how you can skate under so many cars at once".
Aniket, who trains four-hours per day, started skating when he was 18-months-old. After smashing the world record of 43 cars in March he started training to skate under 100 cars.
According to his father, Ramesh covers 60-miles twice a week in practice and sulks when he is told to finish. "Aniket was always very flexible", he siad, "but for limbo-skating you need strength as well. It took him a while to condition his body to hold the correct position - now his battle is to get the speed and control necessary for 100 cars. He wants to set a world record no one can beat for a long time", dailymail
