Default Re: dunk attempts/vert mix

@ibetan = ur verts are a bit lower in the video than what u posted, good job nontheless

Whatcha mean? which are lower?. the only thing that was wrong numberwise was the 41 inch but thats because i overrecorded that, the closest jump i had to that was 39 inches.

I have a 7'7 reach meaning 29 inches to touch ring and both those rims were at least an inch taller then 10ft, i know the indoor one was for certain, from the tip of my fingertips to the start of my wrist is 8 inches. therefore its 38 inches just to get my wrist over a 10'1 rim. If you look at 37 seconds carefully i have my wrist +1-2 inches over the rim which would mean 39-40 inches. same applies to my left hand, i had my thumb over it which is 7 inches down my hand...

Its just the angle playing on you, those pictures where wat i got at the highest point, it may not of looked that high in motion but thats coz u cant pause it frame by frame.

@phantom, i never saw it that way, ill definately try that next time. i always end up back rimming it for some reason.

@abdcc. Your definitely right about that. im a right legged jumper right? but im also right handed, therefore i am forced to dribble with my left hand which im absolutely shit with so it completely destroys my rythm, and therefore i also have to 2 hand it considering i cant palm a ball with my off hand very well, it just slips out at the top of the jump.

@truper, your prolly left legged right handed. if that was the case for me id definately be dunking to, no problem. nice vert tho
