Australian Man Attempts to Break the World Record for Longest Whip

Australian Nathan Griggs has made it his goal to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records. After over 500 hours of work and over 160 meters of braiding, Nathan has made the world's longest whip. In order to break the world record the whip needed to be over 70 meters long and the crack of the whip needed to be heard from 10 meters away from the end of the whip. A surveyor was on hand to measure the length of the whip and two police officers were witness to the feat. At over 100 meters, Nathan had his work cut out for him. <br />All of his hard work may have paid off but we will have to wait and see. (Footage By Nathan Griggs/Storyful via Getty Images)
