Mexican cowboys set simultaneous lasso record
69 Mexican cowboys have set a new world record for simultaneous lassoing, by all swinging their ropes for three minutes.
The charros (Mexican cowboys) made the record bid during the 17th annual International Mariachi and Charreria festival in Guadalajara.
Each with a marked-out area of the stadium they twirled and swung their lassos as best they could while an adjudicator from Guinness World Records watched on.
At the end he verified they had beaten the previous record of of a meagre 23 simultaneous lassos.
Organisers hope the record will encourage more people to take up the rope-swinging activity… though you may want to check you have room first.
