Unbelievable basketball world record
THIS crazy basketball shot has broken a world record. And no, it wasn’t made by LeBron!
WITH the NBA Finals in full swing, most basketball fans would have their eyes heavily fixated on the battle between Steph Curry and the juggernaut that is LeBron James.
However, the Warriors and Cavaliers matchup is not the only exciting news to hit the world of basketball of late.
Four keen Aussies have taken their passion for the sport and focused it on pulling off some insane stunts for their YouTube channel.
Originally from Perth, the group call themselves How Ridiculous, a phrase you might find yourself uttering after you watch some of their videos.
Their most recent venture took them to Gordon Dam in Tasmania, where they successfully broke their own world record for the highest basketball shot, a staggering 126 metres.
Easily breaking their previous record of 98 metres, which they made from the top of the EuroMast tower in the Netherlands in September 2013, the group had to battle the wind and rain to sink this one.

With over 155,000 subscribers on YouTube, How Ridiculous is also a platform for a number of charitable endeavours.
As dictated on their website, their main aim is to encourage people to “live selflessly, give generously and join us in the fight against child poverty.”
The boys have plans to beat their record again in the future, with rumours they my be looking at heading to the Burj Al Arab Helicopter Pad which stands 210 metres off the ground.
