Watch This Unbelievable Trick Shot From Over 300 Feet Up

What do you get when you throw a basketball off of a Dutch observation tower, and through a hoop located on the ground more than 300 feet below you? An apparent world record, that's what.

Australian trick shot YouTube masters How Ridiculous traveled to Rotterdam to climb the Euromast building, and complete the feat, as proved in the video, above. They claim it's a new world record, besting their old mark of a measly 223 feet.

As you'll see in the video, it's a very cool -- if meaningless -- thing to pull off. The YouTube clip has become a hit, too, with more than 330,000 views after two days online. The from-the-ground camera angles are particularly wild. How Ridiculous says it took 62 tries to make the magic moment happen, which is actually an impressively low amount.
