WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A New Zealander smashed the world record Wednesday for the most bungee jumps in 24 hours after making a total of 941 leaps off Auckland Bridge.

Mike Heard, 41, toppled the previous record of 765 jumps set by Frenchman Francois-Marie Dibon in Scotland last year.

Having started at 0700 local time on Tuesday (1800 GMT Monday), Heard passed Dibon's record in the early hours of Wednesday before powering on to set the new best mark, his support team told AFP.

"It certainly wasn't easy, and going into it, I knew it would be a massive challenge. The number of jumps we had to hit, added a whole new level of nerves to this attempt for me," Heard said.

"But the record needed to be here, because bungee is a part of our DNA."

Heard, who lives in Auckland, was showered with blue confetti after his 941st and final leap just before 0700 local time Wednesday.

Bungee jumping is the extreme sport of leaping from a great height while connected to an elastic rope.

According to its website, the bungee jump at Auckland Bridge is 40 meters (131 feet) high.

Before starting his record attempt, Heard said he steeled himself for the marathon challenge by adding ice baths and cold showers to his training regime.

He had previously set the record in 2008 and 2017.

Heard said he was motivated to bring the record to New Zealand and raise money for a mental health charity.

"It feels wrong to let this record be held by any country other than New Zealand and I want it back," he said before attempting the record.

Galactic Eyeshadow

Look closely into Jisoo’s eyes—they are glowing! This beauty styling amazed us effortlessly, as her blue eyeshadow had a glowing-in-the-dark effect. Although her makeup was done in subtle colors, the enrichment of blue galactic eyeshadow on her eyes highlighted the totality of her look.

YouTubeSultry Chic

Jisoo drives at full speed. And you know what else was quicker than her car? Her sultry-chic approach to beauty swiftly allured us the moment the frames were switched! Here, Jisoo’s hair was styled in long silky strands and her makeup consisted of shimmers of green below her lids. Likewise, her foundation, blush, and lipstick were maintained with a subtle tint.

YouTubeGoth Allure

We didn’t expect Jisoo to venture this far from the beauty style we’re used to seeing in her. She just created an alter ego with this look! She danced with long hair with full bangs and an intense palette over her eyes: dense lashes, strong eyeliner, and warm eyeshadow. Jisoo completed the look with mahogany lipstick, fully embodying the gothic look.

After she gave us a beauty statement we’ll never forget, she delivered a refreshment through an enchanting energy. Jisoo’s makeup was lightened, hinting at the makeup artist’s use of subtle blush on her cheeks, nude colors on her lids, and rosy pink gloss on her lips. 

YouTubeCorporate Glamazon

Jisoo gave us a gentle approach to glam in an office attire. Her eyes were sprinkled with a purplish palette and her lashes were thinly coated with mascara, while her brows were brushed up from the inner corner and pigmented on the arched. Similarly, her lips were stroked with a light pink gloss.

She saved the best for last. Before ending the MV, Jisoo complemented her corset in a full glam beauty statement. She donned the inner corner and tip of her eyes with the rich pigment of blues without surpassing the brown eyeshadow around her lids. The bold pigments of pink blush were placed only at the apple of her cheeks, evenly emphasizing her facial structure.
