Rolling Under

When it comes to skating under cars, a six year old has beaten all other contenders flat.
Gagan Satish, only six years old, is from Bangalore, India. He's become a celebrity in his own community, and is rapidly gaining fans around the world.
Gagan, who received his first pair of roller skates at the age of three, covered 230 feet in just 29 seconds.
What makes his accomplishment unique is that he skates close to the ground.
His face remains no more than five inches from the pavement.
That's how he performs his signature feat.
Gagan likes to skate under cars.
"I love skating," he said. "I have been doing it since I was three years old. My next goal is to skate underneath 100 cars. I also want to go to the Olympics."
His record 29 second run took him under 37 cars.
His amazing flexibility allows him to do the splits and slide right under the chassis.
Gagan trains rigorously to keep up his skills. He starts the day at 5:00 AM and spends a few hours being coached before going off to school.
After school, he skates in the streets, spending a couple of hours on speed training and muscle flexibility before he goes into his limbo position.
Gagan has inspired some of his friends to take up limbo skating. His coach, Yatish Gowda, expressed great pride in his young student.
