A fearless boy.

One of the youngest record -breakers who made it to the 2014 Guinness World Records books

is the 12 -year -old skating enthusiast, Rohan Kocain, from Balgam, India.

In April 2012, at age 11, Rohan was recognized as the world's lowest limbo skater after

he skated over a distance of 10 meters under bars that were set just 25 centimeters above

the floor.

This was not Rohan's first world record, however.

In February 2010, he received the Guinness World Record for skating the greatest distance

under 20 cars over a distance of 38 .68 meters.

He made his first attempt to roller skate under cars for a record in 2009.

He stunned everyone who watched him in awe as he vanished under a line of three cars and

emerged from the other side.

With this feat, Rohan received a certificate from the World Record Academy and was nominated

for a Guinness World Record.

Rohan had taken up limbo skating at age eight when he watched other kids and began practicing

it regularly with a trainer.

His amazing flexibility and exceptional skills have made him a successful limbo skater and

a celebrity.

He has performed on TV shows in different cities across the world, including Hong Kong and Istanbul.

He has participated in various skating rallies, too.

Rohan's hometown, Balgam, also has other notable limbo skaters.

One of them is the six -year -old Aniket Chindak, who holds the unofficial world record for the

longest limbo skate, 20 centimeters off the ground, 2008.

And Abhishek Naval, the seven -year -old world record holder for longest backwards limbo

skate, 2009, is another one.
