Hello, Namaste I am Dinesh Sunar from Nepal. Nepal is the beautiful country top of the world Mount Everest of World and Birthplace Gautam Buddha of Nepal which called Peace of Ambassador world. I am 30 Years old I was born in Khotang Village in Nepal, my families were so poor background. I have faces many challenges, obstacles, struggle…
Currently, I am living In Akron Ohio USA from 2021 I am Pro Parkour Athletes and OFFICIAL 5th Times Guinness Book of World Records Holder, National Gymnast, Stuntman, Records Breaker, and Instructor.
Parkour is extreme sports
Parkour is an athletic training discipline in which participants attempt to get from point A to point B in the most fluid way possible without assisting equipment and in the fastest and most efficient way possible. With roots in military obstacle course training and martial arts, parkour includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping and Kong, leap roll more; 20 years ago from today, as I saw action and international movies such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Tony Ja, David Belle B13 Movie, World Famous Freeruner Pasha The boss and Nepali movie Nikhil Upreti, etc. I became very inspired to do gymnastics, Chase stunts, and flips. I assumed that people could not do this when I saw the movies, I thought it was all animated but I was wrong. Eventually, I started practicing and I was alone, I had no one beside me and I didn’t even know there was an academy in Nepal learn Parkour and Gymnastics. Then slowly I started to share the information with my friends to work as a team so we can all practice and we had to learn by ourselves, there were no personal Coach and it was a difficult life back in the come country (Nepal). As my friends gave up due to money problems or some had to go because of their family, they didn’t have time to practice with me but I didn’t Never say Never give up on my passion and continued and I had made one dream that one day the people in my country and other people from around the world to get to know me more.
My days would just pass by me playing in the sand mountain, Ground Rivers side or going near the lake I was continuously Hard work practicing. People in the community used to criticize me by saying things like this man is not going to do anything in life, he will die one day by doing this, acting like a monkey, worth time and someone told me like mad.
This is how my struggle went by and when I was perfect, I went to state shows to perform and a lot of people gave me titles of famous Nepali actress because of what I did. After performing in the state shows people motivated me by cheering me up and I was excited! I used to also do stunts at my school and that’s when I made a lot of friends shown my talent. As I continued with my life I people kept on encouraging me and it motivated me to move on. I had to walk 3 hours to programs because there was no transportation and at the programs there was volleyball and talent show competitions and armed police force departments chief (Mr. Sanat Kumar Basnet) was there as well.
After that, the chief from the Armed Police Force was amazed and shocked by seeing my talent and I got a job offer in the Armed Police Force as a gymnastics player. This platform gave me energy and encouraged me. Until this time I didn’t know anything about parkour and in 2012 as I watched parkour videos, I was shocked. I learned how to do parkours by watching videos daily and to show the people I do parkours I was focusing more on this. I also saw different videos of somersaults from Guinness World Records website in and this encouraged me more and I was being prepared to set one of the world records in 2014 and set the record of the most twisting backflips off of a wall in 1 minute with a total number of 18 backflips in 2017. People used dominate me saying I can’t break any records and I am a loser and things like that. As I set this world record and became certified, I felt like I won something big in my life! So, I continued with my records and in 2018 I set another world record of the most backflips off of a wall in 30 seconds with a total number of 16 times. In 2019 I set a third record of 12 twisting backflips in 30 seconds. For my fourth record in 2020 that I set in USA, it was the most backflips on a trampoline in one hour of a total number of 460 times. The New York senator (Mr. Jon Ciuliuu) gave me an award for setting a lot of records. And Suddenly COVID hit and I still continued to work hard and in 2021 I broke another record doing 12 standing back full twists in 30 seconds at Sunshine Taekwondo Academy Akron.
Which is achieved in Akron Ohio US after one year Akron Government Mayor Dan Horiggian honoring me Proclamation Presentations April 21, 2022, Dinesh Sunar day in Akron Ohio. it’s great historical achievements for me I never expect. Recently I broke another 6th Guinness world record attempt in Akorn organization by Sunshine Taekwondo academy host Ms. Kaushila Khanal she is the 4th-degree black belt and master and in front of City councilman Phil, Witness Master Mr. Harka Triwa, Shyam Khanal, Asian service inc and Manay athletes supporting during the event. The tittle is most backward somersault while skipping in 30 seconds 14 times. Previous Record is 11 times form 2013 Japan hold. I am very happy proud fell this Record tittle bring to Ohio US. I has been practicing for this record break from 2018. Guinness verified this record within 3 months.
Also, the I am 3 times National Gold medalist champion National Gymnastics Competition. I was working as a stuntman in the Nepali movie industry for more than 50 movies and also the Bollywood.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Some obstacles in my life journey at Parkour, to Guinness World Records.
1) In the beginning there was no academy or coach. We had to struggle a lot to learn gymnastics and Parkour fasciitis safety mat springs broad equipment
2)When my mother gave birth to me, my mother could not even eat hot food. He tore my fur and put me in his arms
3) From Khotang to Kathmandu, parents used to work to create a beautiful future
4) My mother used to scold me for my glitter, and how many places I had to move because of my glittering habit.
5) At that time people used to tell me that this boy who ate like a leap has spoiled himself and also spoiled our children.
6) How many times have you been scolded and beaten while going to sand depot for training?
7) While preparing for the Guinness World Record, he suffered a leg fracture and a broken arm. After being hospitalized for 3 months, I was very worried and depressed. My morale was weakening. The doctor also told me that I should not jump for 6-8 months now. Despite that, I was inspired by the story of Bruce Lee, one of the world’s greatest stunts and a master of martial arts, and I no longer felt the need to take a new lease on life. According to the doctor, he took the risk of breaking the doctor’s rule before the rest period and returned to regular practice. At that time, there was unbearable pain. Happened
8) Running barefoot without shoes, going to the gym for gymnastics training
9) Many times, fail during the training period so hurts difficult sometimes to think to give up but don’t give up never stop always hard work is dedicated to passion.
10) I have beautiful families 👪 son wife sister father mother they are not happy this doing parkour Breaks world records just they want to make money lots. Find a good job make money. Sometimes I am going forested moral down.
