    Most Consecutive Handsprings done by a female.

    I can barely do a cartwheel and this phenomenal woman is running handsprings all over the Guiness book of World Records. Jalyssa Walker was presented her world record plaque for "The Most Consecutive Handsprings (female)" in September of 2013 when she broke the record for doing 53 handsprings one after another. The fun took place at the Sun Bowl in front of hundreds of viewers.

    Largest "YMCA" Dance

    It seems the Sun Bowl is the perfect place to set world records. This time around it was 40,148 participants dancing and doing the moves to "YMCA". The event was organized by the Sun Bowl Association in 2008. The dance lasted just over 5 minutes and was sung live. Sounds like a rockin' party!

    Highest pinfall in tenpin bowling in 24 hours by a pair.

    I think one round of bowling is quite enough but these guy had a point to prove! Robert Hendricks and Hector Navedo bowled for 24 hours to drop 30,537 pins at Fiesta Lanes in January 2014 for the record. I wonder if they got their bowling fix in?
