A world record is usually the best global performance ever recorded and officially verified in a specific skill or sport. The book Guinness World Records collates and publishes notable records of all types, from first and best to worst human attainments, to extremes in the natural world and beyond. The website Record Setter has begun to take on the same territory, but with a more inclusive policy.

There are many records till now and the process of registering new records are taking places all most every day recently a  German high line walker  registered his name for High line Crossing. He broke the world record by crossing a 1,230-foot rope strung between two boulders in China.  Alexander Schulz aged 23, and colleagues from slack lining company One Inch Dreams set up the line in Yangshuo. The daredevil spent three days attempting to cross the record-breaking line, which bested the previous record by 230 feet.

Sharing his experience he said wind and rain made the rope added extra heavy and soggy, but the most difficult obstacle was his own uncertainty.  "The most important thing was to get away from the fear of failure in order to be fully relaxed and able to react to the fluctuation of the line after smaller mistakes," he said.  "The longer I was on the line, the harder it was to keep up the concentration. At the last third, wind came up and started shaking the line. I had to force myself to keep on walking. Thirty meters before the end the wind was gone, but the fear of falling came up like never before. "When I touched the rock at the end of the line, my first words were 'it's surreal, I can't believe what just happened.'" He shared his happiness this way.
