How about the ultimate basketball shot thrown from a tower, more than 500 feet (152.5 meters) high and in a moving basketball hoop. Well, the hoop was actually moved by two other guys in an attempt to catch the ball, but still, that is quite amazing.

The shot was filmed in Dallas, Texas, from the top of a famous landmark, the Reunion Tower and the YouTube video rapidly reached almost half a million views in just a few days. While one of the guys was throwing the ball from up the tower, two other guys were running around the parking lot with a hoop to catch it.

The trio behind the trick are thinking of finding another landmark from were to execute their next trick. A funny YouTube user suggested a place that would be quite the challenge and twice the show, “Do it off the Statue of Liberty on to a hoop on a boat on the water.”

That would actually be quite interesting, and kind of dangerous, but “Kids Do Not Try This At Home” signs posted everywhere should be enough. The guys do say they are preparing another trick, so who knows what they have in store for us next.
