Motorcycle record holder Siddhartha Sankar Saikia is born in Jorhat, Assam, India.
An Indian Evel Knievel? Jorhat's Indian Larry? Huh? What? Read on..
After telling his friends (for what seemed like years) that he would get in the Book of Records, Siddhartha Sankar Saikia of Jorhat finally got his name inducted into the Asia Book of Records. Siddharthas oddball feat; "Most Consecutive Yoga Postures on a Motorbike".
In a press release issued by the office of the India Book of Records from its unit in Faridabad, Haryana, it stated, "Siddhartha Sankar Saikia of Jorhat, Assam, performed a total of 62 yoga postures while riding a motorbike (an Indian-built TVS), covering a distance of 800 metres (approx. 2,625 feet) within 55 minutes, on March 31, 2013 on Nimati road, Jorhat, Assam. His attempt has been approved by the India Book of Records and now he has been honored with a title of "Record Holder". India Book of Records has awarded him with a certificate and a trophy for being an extraordinary person."
Talking to the NorthEast News (NEN), Siddhartha said, "I am very much excited to have got my name inducted as an Asian Book of Record holder, which would not have been possible without the support of my family and well wishers. Now I am going to practice more and see if I can become a Guinness Book of Record Holder too."
I'm just trying to keep you informed.
