In a world where normal people use lawnmowers for, you know, mowing lawns, one man from Idaho has decided, “Nah, let’s just take a stroll with it.” David Rush, a professional record-breaker and apparently part-time philosopher, thought, “Why push a lawnmower only to mow? Let’s walk 1.4 miles with it and call Guinness to make it official.”
And guess what? They answered!
Armed with his trusty, grassless lawnmower, Rush mowed down his own previous record by nearly two minutes. To clarify: that’s a minute less of your neighbors judging you for not cutting the lawn.
The only thing missing from this impressive feat? The actual lawnmowing. But let’s be honest, walking a perfectly clean lawnmower around a track is probably way more relaxing than fighting with tall grass, rocks, and mysteriously disappearing gnomes.
Rush is no stranger to quirky records, with more than 250 titles under his belt. While others break records in sports or music, this man set out to dominate the niche field of world-record-worthy activities you’d never consider doing. Next up: speed ironing while climbing Everest (probably).
As the rest of us struggle to figure out how to use a lawnmower without ruining the weekend, Rush continues to demonstrate that anything can be a sport. The future holds endless possibilities: maybe next he’ll tackle “fastest time to fill a shopping cart with nothing but broccoli.”
Stay tuned for more, folks. He’s mowing his way to the top—without cutting any grass.
