<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->A six-year-old boy is hoping to break his own world record by "limbo skating" under 100 parked cars.
Aniket Chindak spends four hours a day training for the eye-watering Indian craze, which requires contestants to bend to no more than eight-inches above the ground as they hurtle beneath a line of vehicles.

Even the smallest of errors can leave skaters with serious injuries.
Aniket seized the unofficial world record in March by skating under 57 cars in 45 seconds, but now thinks he has the strength and flexibility to take the sport to a new level.
"The hardest thing is to go fast enough before I bend down, because that's how you can skate under so many cars at once," he said.
Aniket decided to take up limbo skating two years ago after seeing it on television. He had been roller skating since he was 18 months old, and wanted a new challenge.
"It took three months before I could get my body in the right position," he said. "Since then I have skated under lots of cars and have never hurt myself."

Aniket's father Ramesh says his son is skating for more 60 miles twice a week to get in perfect condition for his record attempt.
"It took him a while to condition his body to hold the correct position – now his battle is to get the speed and control necessary for 100 cars," he said.
"He wants to set a world record no one can beat for a long time."<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
My friggin head wouldn't even fit under a car... :rolleyes:

That kid reminds me of something from a horror movie.
He does not look well.
Paint him in blue camo and give him some mines-> better than a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath_tracked_mine" target="_blank">goliath.</a>

Agreed.
And rollerskating on the freeway?
"parked cars" by definition would not be found on a freeway. <img src="http://www.nsmod.org/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" />
Nobody said nothing about no "parked cars." Besides, "parked cars" by definition are not in traffic. You're making this far more difficult than it has to be!
Nobody said "anything" is what you meant but regardless, read the first post,
