Australian trick shot team How Ridiculous first set the Guinness World Record for highest basketball shot in 2011 from the top of light tower at a cricket stadium, nearly 220 feet up. Two years later, they added an extra 73 feet to the record by taking the shot from the Euromast in the Netherlands.

But that wasn't quite high enough for a team with "ridiculous" in its name. This weekend, they claimed to have set a new world record with the 415-foot from the top of the Gordon Dam in Tasmania.

As the team puts it, they just set up the basketball hoop at the bottom of the dam, traveled back to the top and the rest you see is history.
