In the days after video of their 200-foot shot from the top of a monument went viral earlier this month, members of the Alabama-based group The Legendary Shots sat around pondering a particularly pressing question.



We were basically thinking, 'How can we top that?' 17-year-old Carson Stalnaker said. What can we possibly do next?



It was with that in mind that Stalnaker and his friends hatched a crazy idea to call local amusement park Alabama Adventure to ask permission to shoot baskets off one of the rides on a day the park was closed. Much to their surprise, marketing-savvy park officials agreed and four days later Stalnaker filmed two other group members hoisting shots off The Stratus Fear, a tower of terror-style ride that catapults folks 185 feet in the air and then back down again.
