Retweets went through the roof and Yoshimura quickly became a hot topic on the web. So much so that Google responded.

Dude Perfect is a YouTube sports entertainment group that specialises in impossible trick shots. They have over 2 billion views and 11 million subscribers, so doubling their search traffic is an Olympian feat.

If Yoshimura can pull off a between the legs shot he may just break the internet.
