real vs. CGI trick shots

Corridor Crew has done a few of these videos now, but this one was especially interesting. The idea is to pit real-world skills and actions against virtual skills and actions: a guy in the real world has to make a series of trick shots. Meanwhile, one of the special-effects wizzes has to perform the exact same tasks, but in virtual space. Both competitors vie against each other in real time, and there are other rules as well, such as not saying the words "dude" and "perfect" while you compete. The penalty for saying either word is a round of beer pong (with no actual beer, I think—just empty cups). Competitor Jordan, who's doing the virtual stuff, has a nasty habit of interjecting "dude" into his speech, which slows him down. In this iteration of the competition, there's a further hazard: the loser gets dunked in a dunk tank, but the winner has to do the dunking via a trick shot.
