The five friends who now make up sports and comedy group Dude Perfect had no intention of creating a brand, or even a business, 16 years ago when they started making a video of basketball trick shots while they were attending Texas A&M University, in the United States.
โMy dad would say we were procrastinating studying for finals at that time, which he is 100 per cent correct [about],โ says Coby Cotton, whose twin brother Cory is also part of the group. โWe were just having fun, and thatโs one thing that I am grateful to say has continued.โ
Things have expanded far beyond that small circle. And the tricks got much bigger, like their world record shot made from 856 feet (261 metres) high in Las Vegas, in the US state of Nevada, two summers ago.
