March 5 (UPI) -- An Ohio State University athlete is aiming to enter the record books for a non-football activity -- flipping plastic bottles.

Drue Chrisman posted a video to Twitter showing him using a series of partially filled plastic bottles arranged in a line to flip 63 bottles in 1 minute.

Chrisman's video received a reply from Guinness World Records, which sent him information on how to submit evidence to make the record official.

Guinness' website doesn't currently list a record holder for most flips of a plastic bottle in 1 minute, but the record-keeping group previously set the minimum number of flips for the creation of a new record at 34.
