IShowSpeed is known for his over-the-top reactions, entertaining livestreams, and, of course, backflips. The streamer has, time and again, tried his hand at breaking the Guinness World Record for the most backflips in 24 hours.
Although he has reached a certain point in every attempt, the record seems just too difficult to break. However, recently Speed flexed his backflip in front of his girlfriend, only to fail miserably.
While trying a backflip in front of his girlfriend and Kai Cenat, the YouTuber backflipped on his livestream setup and fell in a horrible position.
During the most recent live stream, Speed got up from his chair without saying a word and tried his classic backflip. However, as the setup was too close, he hit the desk, causing quite a lot of chaos, and might have also broken a few things. To which his girlfriend said, “Damn it, are you okay? What are you doing?”
Notably, this is not the first time Speed has faced issues because of his backflip. Back in October 2024, Speed took a brief break from his livestreams without informing much to his viewers.
After 4 days, Speed returned to his livestream and made a big revelation regarding his health, where the YouTuber revealed how he was unable to move his legs after attempting 650 backflips in a single day.
That’s not all; the streamer even talked about how he was not able to bend or even move his legs the slightest bit and wasn’t able to go live the next day to update his viewers. Although the fans didn’t really believe the entire story, Speed explained the situation in detail.
He said, “After I knew it was over and that I couldn’t walk, after I ended the stream, I went to sleep. I thought I had to go to the hospital, like I genuinely could not move.“ During the stream, he even took multiple breaks in between to keep up the energy level and strength.
That’s not all; the stream also had a dedicated massage therapist sent by Jake Paul to help Speed break the ultimate world record.
Notably, the official world record of 1001 backflips in 24 hours has been set by Nico Scheicher from Austria in 2019. No one has been able to break that record since.
