A man from California, USA, broke the world record for the greatest distance travelled on a slackline while juggling knives. Edgar Yudkevich juggled not just one or two but a total of three knives to break the world record.
According to Guinness World Records (GWR), the slackline, which was 34.4 ft long, was rigged one metre above the ground for the world record. The record-keeping organisation further shared that Yudkevich has been slacklining and juggling various objects for over 12 years.

“The day that I attempted this record was on World Circus Day and there was a community gathering of circus artists in Coronado, California. Because I am constantly training as a circus artist, I regularly do feats that others don’t understand, but that I feel are quite safe performing,” Yudkevich told Guinness World Records.
After winning the world record, Edgar told GWR, “I felt like I’ve finally accomplished a bucket list item. It’s something to remember for many years.”

About slacklining
Slacklining is a sport where a flat rope is pulled taut between two anchor points, and a person walks on it, much like tightrope walking.
