6 NAT GEO KIDS

NING’S

STRAITJACKET

FALLS TO THE

GROUND.

DARING

Border collies Halo (below left)

and Wish aren’t just one-trick

dogs. These pups completed

28 tricks in 60 seconds, earning the title for

the most tricks performed by two dogs in one

minute. Their showstoppers include spinning

around in circles, jumping on and off a low

platform, crossing their front paws, and

giving high fives to owner Emily Larlham.

Now that’s something to bark about.

This woman

definitely

doesn’t have a

fear of heights. Super Ning holds the record for

the fastest straitjacket escape while suspended

from a hot-air balloon. It took the daredevil just

53.7 seconds to free herself from the straitjacket

as she dangled 98 feet aboveground in Weihai,

China. We prefer our hot-air balloon rides to be

more, er, traditional.

BIG STEPS

You’d definitely need a giant closet if you owned this

sneaker. The largest sports shoe stands five feet six inches

tall, stretches just over 13 feet long, and weighs 331

pounds. (That’s about as heavy as 33 bowling balls.) Made

from enough fake leather to cover almost an entire NBA

basketball court, the shoe took three months to build and

helped raise funds for

cancer research.

Looks like the shoe’s

creators took some

huge steps for a

good cause.
