Now he is among the super-skilled people, expert at doing unusual and difficult things that are being celebrated on Thursday by Guinness World Records Day.
Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday, who was on hand to adjudicate Swift's record ride, said this year's theme is super skills.
"Guinness World Records Day is a global celebration of the superlative," he said.
