Default just a couple q's

first of all, who all can dunk on these forums?

secondly, if one can touch (nearly grab) rim, would another 8 in. be enough to dunk? if not, how many more might be needed? (im just looking for a general, ballpark answer.)

thanks all

btw (not really) but i just noticed that a lot of you guys say you are like 14-16 yrs old. geez i feel old im 19 and a half!

ye its 8 inches for a first time dunk
but to be able to dunk everytime it's 'bout 10-12 inches BUT thats just a simple 1 or 2 handed dunk

man age doesnt matter in this forum

- its skill that counts
