Girl jumps through Basketball Hoop... no really!

Browsing through the latest sport videos from the weekend's action, I thought that I would steer away from the traditional football videos, despite some dramatic late winners for both Man Utd and Tottenham, and some amusing bloopers (oh dear Mr Fabregas). Instead, I plumped for a random video that although has no true 'sporting credentials', has a humorous WOW factor that is almost certain to generate both astonished admiration, and unconvinced speculation.

The video is called 'girl jumps through basketball hoop' and is pretty self explanatory. A team of four 'gymnast lads' (some would put it another way), gather all their inner strength to hurl a rather tiny yet extremely flexible girl 15 feet in the air, flipping her into a full 360 degree somersault, resulting in her landing feet first straight through the hoop. Swoosh! Two-points to team gymnasts.

I think this video is genius, and bar the small pain the girl seems to get in the back of her neck after the stunt, it seems nobody was hurt whilst performing this insane act, which is always a bonus. Cue students up and down the country gathering their friends at the nearest basketball court to recreate this superb Jackass-esque manoeuvre. In fact, try too hard to perform that all important dunk, and it may just 'nearly happen' accidentally.

However, as with all seemingly unbelievable videos online, some comments from the community express disbelief of the video, claiming 'fake'. Even in slow-motion, it still seems to me that she clearly flew through the hoop, with the sound and movement of the net being almost conclusive proof. So with ReviewTube giving it the thumbs up for authenticity, check it out for yourself. Be prepared to be amazed.
