The trick shot artists from YouTube channel How Ridiculous claim to have set a new world record for the longest basketball shot ever, from a height of 126.5 meters (415 feet). Breaking their previous record of 91 meters (223 feet) from the top of the Euromast tower in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, How Ridiculous took to the top of the Gordon Dam in Tasmania to attempt the shot, made even more difficult by wind and rain. However, after what seems like an eternity, the ball makes a dramatic last-minute swerve into the basketball net, popping upon hitting the ground. Watch the feat of precision in the video above and catch the rest of their exploits here.
