Most backwards somersaults in 24 hours

The challenge starts now. 1,000 more to go and then I break the back of world record

Did you catch iShowSpeed take on this record attempt last year? Well, Olympic gymnast and bronze medalist Frederick Richard has never backed down from a challenge

This is the first gym I started and that's why I did the event here. And they gave me the opportunities, the resources, everything I needed to get to the highest level

made to the Olympic level. One! 200! One fifth of the way there

Probably done about a thousand combined, but now I have to do a thousand today. The most I did in one day was 500

I'm going to pace it out where I do 60 flips per hour, which is one flip per minute

And that'll take 18 hours to finish. We can't do a backflip record and not have someone learn a backflip today. Go

So close to halfway mark. That is wild. I'm about to break 500

But this isn just about record Fred is live the event to raise money for gymnastics equipment for children in Africa

All the people around me helped me get to the next level and make it to my dreams

So now I come back, do stuff like this, help other people get to the next level. We're not stopping now

800, let's go, Shannon! He's now hit the 800 mark, but with 201 somersaults to go, will he be able to break the record

3, 2, 1! He's officially done it and goes on to hit 1,111 backward somersaults in 24 hours

I'm going to continue to just try to do big things, try to change the sport

So it's just the beginning. Music
