“My dad got one for biking most states. My brother for one just a few months back — so I’m like, ‘Oh, well if my whole entire family is going to get one, why can’t I get one?'” His mom said the only world record she’ll earn is maybe the most family members that have one!
He’s not the only 9-year-old to break a world record recently, a 9-year-old named Jack Sims from Washington broke the longest plank record at 1 hour, 1 minute and six seconds!
