WORLD RECORD Basketball Shot 126.5m (415 ft) - How Ridiculous

Tasmania's Gordon Dam is 126.5m tall. We went to the top and put a basketball hoop at the bottom. The rest is history (and a new world record)! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For licensing/media/business enquires contact us at management@howridiculous.org _________________________________________________________________ Backing track is "Heart & Soul" by Built By Titan (used with permission).

It's been a dream of ours to make a shot off Gordon Dam since 2010. This shot breaks our previous Guinness World Record for the greatest height from which a basketball is shot which was 91m off the Euromast in the Netherlands in 2013 (watch that shot here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO_x2...).
