Dinesh Sunar, who is also known as ‘Parkour Dinesh’, recently took everyone by surprise by setting a Guinness World Record for the “most twisting backflips” off a wall in one minute. The Nepali stuntman, parkour athlete and police officer managed to complete 18 flips during the event in Kathmandu, Nepal. People gathered to witness the record-breaking event and kept cheering until the 24-year-old successfully completed the stunt.

According to Guinness World Records, the rule book for the physically demanding attempt states that each flip must be a full mid-air 360-degree rotation backwards. The challenger must also rotate the body 360 degrees in a barrel-roll twist while in the air, and then land facing the wall.

“Dinesh has been doing parkour since he was 15, now he is president of the Parkour Freerunning Association of Nepal. Sunar has also worked as a stuntman in a number of Nepali movies and has even appeared in one Bollywood movie,” an official statement of Guinness World Records read.
