Watch | Gwalior teen becomes fastest backwards skater in the world

Skating faster than a 100cc motorbike, a boy from Madhya Pradesh has become the fastest skater in the world - while travelling backwards. The 15-year-old from Gwalior city has made a chest thumping entry into the Guinness book of world records after his unusual attempt of fastest backwards skating. The ultra-flexible youngster covered the one kilometre distance streaming through the city's roads an incredible two minutes and eight seconds, smashing the previous world record. The school student, who is trained by his father, says he picked up the hobby at the age of five after watching his elder brother roller skating.
