How Ridiculous went to the giant ArcelorMittal Orbit building that has been erected in London for the Olympics and that’s going to be transformed into the world’s most insane slide, and performed their basketball tricks.

They managed to score a regular shot – and by regular shot we mean regular for them, which, in this case, is from 80 meters above the basket – and then they went for the backwards shot.
