The Dude Perfect founders, who attended college together at Texas A&M and are based in Frisco, Texas, contacted officials in several cities for the record-breaking attempt. That mark of 660 feet was set in 2018 from a waterfall in Lesotho Africa, by YouTube star Derek Herron.ĭude Perfect set the record previously from a 530-foot tower in Oklahoma City in 2016. ![]() For further perspective, the team shattered the existing record by almost 200 feet. Finally, at 2:33 p.m., a shot curved toward the hoop and dramatically banked in (even though the team did not call glass). Fewer than five attempts were even within 10 feet. The YouTube video shows the attempts were usually far off-target, with the balls veering as wind swept across the tower. He won the “gentlemen’s bet” against fellow Strat exec Steve Arcana. “We actually had an internal bet, and I bet that they would make it, because I was one of the people behind this whole stunt.” Goldberg said. Despite the very long odds of making a shot from near the top of the tower, he wagered it would happen. Goldberg arranged the troupe’s Vegas visit. Yet it happened, all because the resort agreed to stage the stunt - provided it was safe, which it was, far away from pedestrian and vehicular traffic. NASA engineer Mark Rober, appearing in the YouTube video of the event, called it “basically impossible, and dubbed the shot, “one in a million.” The team inflated 200 balls for the effort, spending the balance of three days attempting the record. They set up the shot on April 14, and began firing off the SkyJump platform on April 18. The renowned Dude Perfect team is Tyler “Beard” Toney, twins Cory and Coby Cotton, Garrett “Purple Hoser” Hilbert and Cody “Tall Guy” Jones. “I was like, are you kidding me? There seems no chance in hell you would make this shot.” “It was a miracle shot,” said The Strat exec Brad Goldberg, chief marketing officer of hotel operator Golden Gaming Entertainment Inc. The quintet of former college roommates have spent the past 14 years executing trick shots. The shot landed April 20, taking more than 900 attempts, on the third day of a three-day YouTube shoot by Dude Perfect. ![]() The gentlemen at Dude Perfect have made the world’s highest basketball shot, from 854 feet high, off The Strat’s 108th-floor SkyJump platform.
