Dude Perfect

Here's something interesting for you today. Check out this group of (basketball) trick shot masters.

A group of college guys who collectively nicknamed themselves Dude Perfect manage to make a shot by heaving a basketball from the third deck of Kyle Field to a hoop set up at field level. This is a crazy crazy shot. I've seen these guys' work before, and I'm about 99% certain that it is real.

I'm not normally the type to engage in e-mail forwards, link-throughs, or the like. For this particular site/link, I want to make an exception. I do so for three reasons.

1 - This is a seriously cool shot, as are many of their other videos. I encourage you to revel in their impressive body of work.

2 - These guys are (current, former, I'm not really sure) students at A&M, and a lot of their trick shots occur in and around College Station.

3 - This one was the clincher that earned it a spot on this page, so all 6 of you who like to read my meanderings can hear about it. One of their videos, "Camp Edition" is connected to a special cause. For every 100,000 views they receive of this video, they will sponsor a child through Compassion International (I've been thinking through another blog post about this subject, so stay tuned). Also, I noticed in "researching" this post that these gentlemen affirm their faith in Jesus on their website, http://www.dudeperfect.com/. Combine those two, and you've got a sure-fire linkable phenomenon.

So click through and enjoy.
