Believe it or not! An Australian trio has broken the world record for the highest basketball shot, launching the ball from the top of a dam in Switzerland.
It took the group, consisting of Brett Stanford, Derek Herron and Scott Gaunson, three attempts to make the shot.
They launched the ball from a height of 180m on the top of Mauvoisin Dam into a net on the ground below.
“It was a surreal moment nailing it on the third shot," Herron, from Perth, told Guinness World Records.
"I watched the ball head towards the rim and saw the net move but still had my doubts that it went in until I saw Scott going crazy."
The three men make up a group called How Ridiculous, and perform tricks and sporting antics to share on social media.
They filmed their world record attempt from different angles, showing off the beautiful landscapes of the Swiss Mountains.
