World Record Attempt to be Held at Sequoyah Schools
“I just want to do it in my own backyard,” Jackson said. “I want to motivate and inspire kids to go after their goals and dreams and show them that anyone can achieve what they set their mind to.”
Also a motivational speaker known as the “I Believe Guy,” Jackson presents a positive message to youth all around the country, encouraging them to believe in themselves.
“Kids can’t use any excuses on me because I’ve been there and done that,” Jackson said. “They can’t say things like I’m too small or I’m just nobody from nowhere. I know better than that.”
Jackson currently holds two world records. He held the Guinness World Records for the fastest time to burst a standard hot water bottle, bursting it in 51.98 seconds for three year and currently holds the record for the fastest time to burst three hot water bottles, bursting them in 68 seconds, and the record for spitting a golf ball the furthest in The Book of Alternative Records with a spitting distance of 13’6”.
Next Friday, he will attempt to break the world record for the most candles blown out with one breath, the fastest time for making 100 balloon dogs, balloon modeling, and golf ball spitting.
The world record attempt will begin at 9 a.m. at Sequoyah Schools’ The Place Where They Play. The public is invited to attend. The event is sponsored by the Cherokee Nation and Sequoyah Schools.
