Roller-skating under cars might seem impossible, but it is the latest craze among kids in India and requires the flexibility, strength and balance of a gymnast.

Six-year-old Aniket Chindak holds the unofficial world record for 'limbo-skating' and speeds along no more than eight-inches above the ground.

Unfolding his body from his eye-watering position, the wonder-kid explained proudly how he is training to break his own world record of skating under 57 cars in 45 seconds.

"I first saw a girl skate under a car on TV two years ago and decided to learn how to do it myself," he said.

"It took three months before I could get my body in the right position. Since then I have skated under lots of cars and have never hurt myself."

Aniket, who trains four-hours per day, started skating when he was 18-months-old. After smashing the world record of 43 cars in March he started training to skate under 100 cars.

"The hardest thing is to go fast enough before I bend down, because that's how you can skate under so many cars at once," he said.

According to his father, Ramesh, the skating marvel covers 60-miles twice a week in practice and sulks when he is told to finish.

"Aniket had a passion for skating right from the day he learnt it," he said.

"He has been skating long distances for the last three years but since he started limbo-skating his passion has increased.

"Aniket was always very flexible but for limbo-skating you need strength as well. It took him a while to condition his body to hold the correct position - now his battle is to get the speed and control necessary for 100 cars.

"He wants to set a world record no one can beat for a long time."
