A gymnast in Leeds has set a Guinness World Record with a gravity-defying leap.
Ashley Watson, 26, set the feat at Leeds Gymnastics Club, with two independent witnesses present and a chartered surveyor measuring the distance.
He set the horizontal bar backflip record by propelling himself 5.87m (19ft 3.1in) through the air and catching the second bar on his eighth attempt.
