If you've been talking about learning how to skateboard but have been putting it off for ages, this cat might serve as some inspiration.

Didga (as in "didgeridoo") is an Australian rescue cat whose favourite food is raw kangaroo mince. Now now, she's breezily entered the Guinness World Records for the most skateboard tricks performed by a cat.

With the help of her owner Robert Dollwet, the feline from Tweed Heads managed to complete 20 tricks within a minute on Wednesday, thus making history. “I knew she was special but now, with the record, I think that she’s just unbelievably special and I’m just so proud of her," said Dollwet. "I love her, so much."

And here you are, still trying to master a simple "ollie" in your driveway.
