Jan. 22 (UPI) -- A group of YouTubers traveled to an African waterfall to break their own Guinness World Record for greatest height from which a basketball is shot.

Australian trick-shot team How Ridiculous posted a video to YouTube showing their trip to Maletsunyane Falls in Lesotho.

In the video, team member Derek Herron successfully sinks a basketball thrown from the top of the waterfall to a hoop 660 feet and 10 inches below him.

The team previously broke the same record by shooting from the Gordon Dam in Tasmania and the 593-foot-tall Mauvoisin Dam in Switzerland.
