Marco expertly manoeuvred the truck through a 380-cm (12-ft-5-in) wide gap, maintaining the side wheelie over a 10-metre distance.
To successfully achieve this record, the truck must make a clean pass through the gap without touching the side barriers, and after driving at least 10 metres (32,8 feet), it must be brought to a controlled stop without toppling over.
To get the truck into the side-wheelie position, Marco drove the right side wheels up a ramp while keeping the left side wheels on the ground.
He failed on his first official attempt as he struggled to maintain control of the truck and veered too far to the left, knocking over the side barriers. Marco may have overcompensated for this mistake in his second attempt, where he veered too far to the right and hit the other set of barriers.
Fortunately, Marco was successful on his third and final attempt, skillfully navigating the truck through the narrow gap and landing it safely on all four wheels.
Marco admitted he “started a bit too strong” on the first two attempts, causing him to crash into the barriers. “The truck’s cabin was moving too much and I had a lot of ‘play’, so it was hard,” he explained. “In that moment I needed to accelerate, but as soon as you accelerate by a millimetre, the cabin starts going like a ballerino.”
After being awarded his Guinness World Records certificate, Marco was joined on stage by his son, whom he is teaching to follow in his footsteps as a stuntman and record breaker.
