kl, theres no good reason why you won't be able to dunk as your still growing, and you can continue working on your jump. I would guess your vert is around 25" as im 5,5" and could touch 9ft when i had a 25" jump.

i couldnt agree more with rangerid. air alert, as i mentioned so many times screwed my legs up after 11 weeks, and i ended up with osgood schlatters, having those crappy lumps of bone under my knee, and having weak knees for the rest of my life.
