Shot at Maletsunyane Falls in Lesotho, this video only came about because we had heaps of help. Firstly thanks to Duane Orriss (DuaneOrriss.com) and Ryan Lucas (Goyastudio.com.au) for coming along as videographers, you guys are both legends! Secondly thanks to Semonkong Lodge for housing and feeding us each day, we had a great experience and definitely recommend everyone stays there when visiting Lesotho. Thirdly thanks to all the local crew who helped find and walk up basketballs, operate the pulley and sort out our harnesses, we really couldn’t have pulled this off without you guys. And finally, thanks to Spalding for providing the basketball gear and Kathmandu for all the epic outdoor gear!
This is genuinely our favourite video we've ever made and we hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did! We've laughed so much at so many moments even though we've seen it a heap of times. We always wanted to make an extended version of our short 2 min world record video (that we released in January) but it's taken us a while to finally get there. It's certainly been worth the wait. If you like the video make sure you give it a thumbs up and if you haven't subscribed hopefully this video gives you enough reason to hit that button! Cheers and thanks again for tuning in - Brett, Scott & Derek

What's the 44 Club you may ask? Well it all started in the outro of this video • HOW TO BOTTLE FLIP (ON... where we wondered if anyone was still watching the video at that point, and to comment 44 (Scott's fave number) if they were. Brett then said 44 Club get on board and the rest is history. The 44Club is the official How Ridiculous fan club made up of people who love our videos and watch them right to the very end. We've even got 44 Club merch now! So yeh, that's the story. Pretty random but good fun at the same time.

1544 you absolute mad lads
Basterix33 cheater
Well done. I was actually doing some maths to guesstimate the number of balls they brought along and try to figure out how many shots on the day of it happening.
Got it!
how many tries was it exactly?
i was so close :I
spend 6 days aiming for a basketball hoop but hit a randomly placed go-pro 3 times
edit: go-pro under the hoop once you're ready to take it back from DP boys
Mc Donalds Reality is stranger than fiction eh
exactly
Just the way life works sometimes, that's why people get the things they don't want easy.
@@redeyedkiwi6410 lmfao
I was just thinking that!!
I stay true to this channel because you don't click bait.
ACEGAMER yes they clickbaited in one video and thats when they tried to flip fruits:)
Yup
@@molskymali4250 but that was the only time. And you have to admit that it was funny as hell... They planned that out.
Can't be said better mate
Same here!
3 years later I still come back to this because it is probably my favourite video on UA-cam. The visuals, the music, the vibe. Just so much fun to watch.
Watched it for the 1st time today and I can see why. Definitely a favorite of mine 👍👌 These lads are amazing 😉

I love how they give all the basketballs to the people in that town at the end!
So what did you do this week?
”I threw basketballs off a cliff.”
For the whole week?
”yep.”
this is a good one
RICTHELEGOKING 4 smh my head
Drew said 44. c
And made money to do it to boot.
Has enyone else noticed his name is Jörgen The Horse?
Did anyone else really enjoy that there was no music playing in the background??
Yes I did
Yeah
There was music in the drone shots
Yeah you really should use music sparingly and at a low volume so it doesn’t take away from the actual video
The into music is like porn hub 2,0
All the people from the town celebrating with them is my favorite part. I come back to this video like once every month.
I must say that the best part of this video, other than the World Record shot, was the fact that you lads gave all those basketballs to the community that helped you pull this insane video off. You unknowingly gave those people an opportunity to share in an incredible event and the opportunity to make memories with their families in the future. God bless this simple act of kindness, you guys are such good blokes.
As opposed to what? Flying all the balls back to the US? Stop kissing ass, especially to people you don't know and care so little about you that they will never even read what you write.
When you watch the whole video, you actually get so emotional and exited by just seeing the three celebrating, it really makes me smile haha
Sean Barry I waited sooooooo long for moment it went in.. and then the boys started talking about having peace in the group of it doesn’t go in... and then..... BAMMM! In she goes. Legends!
ikr
This is now up with the Veni, Vidi, Vici episode of Game Grumps and the Orica-Scott Backstage Pass for Paris-Roubaix 2016 in my playlist of "stuff I watch for motivation when I'm down."
Sean Barry h
Soy boy
Imagine one of the guys helping the boys passed them the ball, they missed the catch, the ball goes of the cliff and the person who passed it made the shot
That would have been OUTSTANDING
Orgasmic
Sean Metusec I was literally thinking that a minute ago 😂👌🏼👌🏼
That would be so funny they would just stop for a second and said ok you are too good you need to join us
This video never gets old. I do not know how many times I have seen it, but it always feels like the first time. You all deserve your rewards, and thank you for reminding us to keep on pushing. When life seems like it’s winning, there is a reward at the end of each moment of strife and difficulties. God bless you lads. Cheers!
Absolutely amazing guys. I have spend two holidays at that waterfall , one in summer and a breathtaking winter snow scene. What a lovely place Lesotho is.
24:16 is jus a heartbreaking moment when that poor helper never got the hug he deserved
Andrew_Patton Patton I read this comment now I feel bad and can’t sleep because I keep thinking about it
Andrew_Patton Patton he got it don’t worry
dude why did you have to do this to me
I’m sad now
Andrew_Patton Patton he actually did get it
How it feels to watch the DVD logo hit the corner
Such an amazing effort and video, and even better that all of the surviving basketballs were handed out to the kids in the village that helped you guys. A generation of Basotho kids will develop a new love for basketball thanks to this.
Praise God, in deed! You guys are awesome and it makes me smile when you acknowledge the Lord.😄. We don’t see much of that these days.
Praise god? Are you kidding me? Lets just laugh and say there is a god. Im sure instead of getting a cure for cancer, or ending famine; he is more concerned with some jesus freaks making a trick shot. Such arrogance saying "praise god". God doesnt even exist. FACT.
@@commonsense3845🤓🤓🤓
@@commonsense3845God does exist shut up and stop trying to bring people in your religion
This moment when the guy on top wears a helmet and the two guys at the landing zone are not.
That’s a good point
Did it not occur to you that he is on top of a mountain.
Its in case he slips and falls and the harness saves him and he slams into the side of the cliff.
@@pathwaysmusic your comment makes people lose brain cells. Yes, the guys at the bottom should be wearing helmets, but the guy at the top absolutely needs one as well. If he falls off the cliff he is likely to hit his head, but the harness will save him from falling all the way.
@@reedmartin9188 you think if he fell off the cliff a helmet would matter?
2:28 thats has to be a world record...the most words ever said without moving or closing your mouth
Nah ventriloquists wreck that
NinoValley it’s not a world record just watch Jeff Dunham
Christopher Bravo yeah a little bit
@@buzzmas8068 mmmm.,
Mmmmm.,?
Such an amazing vid to watch !! You boys are great 👍 Love the hard work and persistence to accomplish your goal. To sponsor the balls 🏀 to locals was just the cherry on top 🍒👌 God bless you lads 🙏
Never in a 44 million years did I think I would watch a 28 minute long video and be entertained throughout every second of it. Such Chads. #44Club
Kyle Sminki especially since i know they wont make it until the end but you still watch the whole thing
would've been better without spoiler in title
For most of those 44 million years, you weren't thinking much at all... ;)
ikr me neither!
So many bliggers though
Not gonna lie, my favorite part is at the end where all those kids are happy they're getting the basketballs.
That’s awesome! Do more stuffs with other cultures & in crazy places. It’s cool to see the cultural part too about the folks who helped you do that obviously rediiculous thing. Just a suggestion…
I just came from the DP vid where they beat this and wanted to post the same comment I made on that video.
"I saw HR replied and said something to the tune of "1000ft here we come" and like cool cool. But. BUT! What if... DP and HR colab for the 1000ft basketball shot and they have one person shooting from each team each time? The most outlandish cross channel challenge freaking ever!....At least I can dream about it."
Lmao😂
Not a bad idea actually
That would be awesome!
Imagine showing up and planing a 6 day trip and making it first try 😂😂
@Azariah Gordon cringe

There 180m shot from 2015 is said was done by the third attempt. ua-cam.com/video/dwkg2e7CY48/v-deo.html
And they didn't have the camera set up properly yet
@@madelinebenitez479 your comment is cringe
Wow fellas that was an epic effort, and very cool that it did finally go in! very cool. I just found this video tonight at work, I have been a fan of the channel for many months, & look forward to the new stuff each week. thanks for giving God His proper glory, that makes me an even bigger fan & brother in Christ. Cheers from Texas.
The best two things about this is your friendship and how you support each other. Carry on boys! Good show.
This is biblical. You completed your mission in six days and now on the seventh day you can rest.
Jesus swishing 200 meter shots lmao

Anytime I need to smile, I know I can come back to this video and watch that shot go in and everyone go berserk with joy. It's worked every time.
And I'm terrified of heights.
Honestly even for how long it took it sounds like a great time chilling by a beautiful waterfall in gorgeous Lesotho landscape with nice weather.
Watching back from 2020:
Scott sneezes on Derek:
*oh god*
haha I had the same reaction!
I was laughing my hind quarters apart! Derek didn't even care! Nay even notice.
😂
Haha 😆

This is still the greatest video you guys have ever released, love this video so much.
How good
HK Productions I farted some I also agree:)
HK Productions Same
Yeah That was one of the first videos of them that I watched
True that. Uplifting, an old stand bye to watch
If you know, you know that your here from dp after that crazy world record shot
The group of guys who helped out were amazing! Super helpful and get just as hyped as the HR boys if not more
24:16 did the guy in the back ever get a victory hug?
Some say he's still waiting till this day
Just noticed that and that is SAD
Looks like the guy might be going in for him.
Riku The Dude he got it don’t worry
Aww. Poor feller
The script for this video:
“OH OHHHH! COME ON!!!!! Awwww...”
Exactly what i sad! Haha
SCRIPTED
Yup
That’s a tough one to memorise
"GET IN!"
More of these kind of How Ridiculous videos need to be made. Showing what it takes to accomplish these goals, the team work that everyone put in to make it happen. Also the emotions are real and that makes it better than just showing the final basket. Keep working with God and He will keep working through you.
23:30 I laughed, and then i started crying, ya i know i'm a softie but the joy you guys expressed when that thing went in really hit me! you guys are the best!
This was an incredible shot and I can't wait to see if you guys try and break Dude Perfecfs record. If not, this is still incredible and feat to be proud of!
12:31 "Not a fan of heights"......has a UA-cam channel dedicated to throwing objects from great heights.

I spent two months there in Lesotho almost 15 years ago and actually had the chance to fly over those falls with MAF. Thank you for bringing back an amazing memory.
absoloute legendary shot, this is definitely a thing i would have never expected to ever happen by anyone
this is such an achievement and you should definitely be proud of it, cant wait to see what crazy trickshot you will do next. love you guys im glad i found this because this is the best early 15th birthday present ever (even though you didnt know, the reason why is the fact i saw this.)
You guys are amazing.. Started watching you 3 days ago and still love it.. Keep up the good work🤘🏼🤘🏼💪🏼💪🏼🤙🏼
... and on the Seventh Day, they rested
YES
LOVE THIS
LMAO
now try to dunk it from there
Tenacious T You get one try😂
Lol
Tenacious T that would be practically impossible and they could die
Always one person who doesn't get sarcasm
The channel would not exist anymore lol
Amazing view. I’ve been watching for years and this was a lot of work to land that shot. Great work boys! Keep up the vids and record breaking attempts.
The reactions are infectious. Just as good a watch the second time boys! Great job!
23:19 one of the greatest moments in UA-cam history, well done derek👏

Do you know the seed for it?

Someone try to actually find the seeds code that looks like that and tell me the seeds and coordinate. I need this in my precious Minecraft life.
Or if it's impossible to find or there's no such thing you could use MCEdit to recreate it and send me the link for the download.
Hands down my favorite video of yours. So fun to watch you guys do something you love and all to the glory of God. So awesome. Keep it up.
Possibly the best video ever for How Ridiculous. This is easily at least in their top 5. Great effort; great team. Very well done!
Idk wether to be more impressed by the shot in the basket or the two hits on the go pro.
Otaku Overlord I don’t know if I’d be more impressed by the shots or their energy to go up and down the canyon
They hit the gopro 3 times
They hit it 3 times
GoPro should sponsor them. Have you seen the unintentional durabilty tests for them in this channel?!?!
They really should though
Trey Tyre briliant
Trey Tyre what if they drop a dart on a GoPro 5 with nothing protecting it, kinda want to see the damages
I thought they were already. If not, golden opportunity.
Why Tho I bet there wouldn't even be a single scratch
Absolutely amazing gents. Lovely how you have so much resilience as playful as you are.😀 Keep it up with the crazy ideas gents !
Seriously, you all are the sweetest for giving them the balls and I'm assuming the hoop(s) at the end. ❤️❤️❤️
8:03 actually made me flinch...

it scared me lol
bless the baskets down in africa
This comment should be at least 2 k likes mate.

I BLESS THE BASKETS IN AFRICA
I am in awe of the positive energy, the love, the gratitude, and the faith. Maybe it's your Christianity that does it? Not my cup of tea but it obviously works for you three. Your videos are the definition of wholesome, and this one is special, the challenge so enormous. I watch to heal trauma from encountering the wickedly inhuman, years ago. Your videos work. I inhabit your POV, feel the empathy (finally), the shared project, and the exultation. I feel the love. From the bottom of my heart, guys, thank you. Thank you. This is wonderful stuff, with benefits you can't imagine, and I wish you all the best.
I think it's WAY more impressive how freaking DURABLE those GoPros are than the 200m basketball shot. I mean, how the heck so tiny camera lenses and extremely small glass components are still working and surviving after all of those impacts? I've seen even harder impacts, like a fall from the sky at terminal velocity and still working. Yeah, the outside glass might break but they STILL are recording. That just blows my mind.
Legend says you can still find basketballs there to this day
Lol...
Omg yes
I found it
wait mayve
maybe*
23:05 Now you know that Dude Perfect's reactions after achieving a trick shot is very very real.
When he said the screaming must be the custom of the locals
Thanks
and now you know that Dude Perfect tries for every shot thousands of takes.
@@samueldiaz-pintomontoro4774 no they do it in one take. You can see on the videos dummy
@@FaysalAlZand oh my gosh, you are so naive.
Wow guys… this is awesome. Also want to say that your content is really awesome and it makes the tougher days go down easier.

I was a missionary in Lesotho in 2010-2011, love the country! Good on you boys!
I can only imagine the emotions you felt !! I know what i felt was absolute happiness !!! You never gave up !! Thats what I love about you guys ❤❤
I loved this style of video I wish I could give it a double like. I have watched all of ur videos and I really enjoy them and it’s nice to have a change in video. I don’t think every video should be like this but every once and awhile this is great. Thank you so much for putting in the time to do this. Btw coming from the U.S. Texas to be specific and can’t get enough of ur videos.
check out mike boyd then, you'll like his videos

On day one I was like “ he’s going to get it in!” I then realised the video was called ‘ we spent 6 days…’
That place looks so amazing! Great video! I feel like ya guys are my friends lol, loved this one, also that had to be a lot of work so good for you guys!
2020 needed this! 2021 needs this... 2022 needs to be FULL of things like this!
24:15 look at the guy behind him he just wanted a HUG 😭😭😭
Ah I didn't notice that, haha I hope he got one in the end lol.
Your profile pic is perfect for this comment by the way
You see him get his hug half a second later
@Chuck She's racist, bruv.
I thought nobody noticed it
24:15

OMFG ded
He got it the second after if you’d payed attention
IA YT it's a joke you imbecile
Love coming back to all the basketball trick shot videos on How Ridiculous
ive seen your videos multiple times across different platforms and today i see i was missing out on alot of content based on this video
Roses are red
Violets are blue
The moment you came for is
22:52
I'm your first like.
Thanks man
Wow
i just read this while watching the shot go in x) like wtfff
Love u
I love how you’ve depicted this beautiful kingdom. Love from Lesotho 🇱🇸
Did I just tear up watching this 4 years after the fact? Can't imagine how exausted you were after each day and how amazing it felt.
That was AWESOME!!!! You all persisted to push along and the reward was immense! Proud to know you all and humbled you took us on the adventure with you, and proud and happy for you all. :O)
EXCELLENT edit, dudes.
Was planning on skipping to the end to see the final shot and ended up watching all 27 minutes and enjoyed every bit. Love the community you guys have and how you included the locals into it for this shoot. Keep it up, fellas!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Same oi i was planning to just watch the actual shot endin up watching it all the editing was just to good
Tyler Grant 👻
Lol..I had the same intentions.. But the video was great..
I actually cried when Derek made the shot 🙌🏼
You guys are living the LIFE!! Absolute legends love you dudes, always making me laugh
The fact that u guys r such good Christians I love that thankyou
Showing how much crap you had to go through to get this world record really makes it more valuable. Congrats guys.
Made my legs and knees hurt just watching!
Very true! You can really appreciate what you've worked for much more than something that's been given. Not to say you shouldn't appreciate gifts. You know what I mean.😁
Coz the two are not on top of 200m cliff.
Nice touch in the end to distribute the basketballs to the locals 👍🏼👍🏼
4 years later this is still such an epic video! Also I love that the person throwing had a helmet on but the two people sitting in the landing zone didn't 😂
Lads with good character, good sense of humour, great commitment. Sure - it's all silly and of course ridiculous to shoot trick shots to make stuff to entertain people, but the hidden thread of enjoyment is you wacky Aussies and your spirit.
Sure wish I could do even more than a thumbs up - SUPER amazing job guys!! Way to give glory where glory is due, and just a fantastic effort all 'round!!
11:07 straight sneezed in this man's face and then agian at 11:13 with no mercy

Doesnt matter how many times I watch this I still get so excited when I see it go in
Yes Herron! I'm extra pleased it went in from that technique (for this particular world record) rather than the underarm attempts, Magnus effect was still present.
They hit the go pro so much, they should just put it IN the hoop
then when they get the ball in the hoop they would break not only the record but the go pro
Throughout this whole video, there is a lot of tension that you can feel in your gut. Best vidi
What do you mean?
I felt that
@@austinthrowsstuff Maybe you have trouble reading emotions from others. It is very obvious to the average person what he means. You could tell they were worried they were not going to get the shot. You can easily tell this without them saying a word about it.
“That’s us”
Has to be my favorite video of all time!!!!
Ha, watching as many attempts they had, I became so invested I legit raised a power fist when they made it.
It’s nice to see a more of a vlog stylish video instead of only watching you guys repeating all the ball shots.
These guys get like 23 million views on a video where they drop a bowling ball on a refrigerator. They slam dunk a basket ball in the African grand canyon and get like 2.5 million views. Weird. Awesome video. Good job lads. May God bless you.
UA-cam hey haha
So envious of you guys, kudos!
This video is made to such a high standard. The guys personality’s really shine and you clearly understand how much work went into taking and making that trick shot.
I just wish they had more view on this video.
*African* *Grand* *Canyon*
Seriously, this is one of their best videos. That drone shot when they sunk the basket was brilliant.
Give it up to the crew who helped, unsung heroes always.
For some reason there reactions make me smile with them 😊
