Weekly Update

Here are some of the best dunks from the past week. I got a good dunk down at 10' that can actually be called a dunk haha. I also got down 2 good dunks off the lob off 2 feet!! They were my best ones so far! Off of 1 foot it seems pretty easy to dunk as you will be able to tell in the video where I run up pretty slowly and dunk it. Sorry that the video is so long but I didn't have time to edit it and cut out the parts in between dunks.



A couple 9'10 Dunks and a 10' "dunk"

I went to the park with my Kobe 7's on and my neon Addidas socks! Looks good dunk good right? haha. I got several dunks off the lob off 1 foot down fairly easily but only got 1 on video. Also got several down off a normal approach fairly easily. I even got 2 down off the dribble jumping off 2 feet but that wasn't as easy. I got one down at 10' 1/2" but I don't know if you could call that a dunk. I snapshotted the videos and I look pretty high actually. Sorry for the video quality but I had 2 5 year olds videoing for me haha. That's all I had so don't judge.

 



A first!?

Alright, I went to the court Sunday evening to try some stuff and I wore my Kobe 7's which I have only used on the indoor court. I don't get to go to the gym much so I thought what the heck the shoes were $180 so mine as well get some use out of them. I felt like I was jumping higher and I give credit to the shoes. It was probably just a good jumping day but who knows. I still feel like I can get a tad bit higher if I were on a wooden floor. My approach isn't as strong because I'm afraid on the plant that I will slip and fall on the cement. I've come close to doing that before and I don't want to get hurt for sure!! I videoed running and seeing how high I could get my hand on the rim and I hit a couple inches below my wrist which is decent. I threw down a few dunks off one leg but the videos were bad, sorry. I did manage to get this dunk down if you can even call it a dunk. I was pretty pumped to say the least because I've never tried to do it or even thought I could. I just went up and did it without even thinking about it. Improvement? Possibly 1/32" maybe? Haha just kidding but I think I was getting a little higher anyways!



9'10

First off sorry that the camera is facing the sun. That was the only place I had to put it. As usual I was at the park by myself so I had to set the camera (iphone) on the light box breaker. I have dunked 9'10 of of 2 feet several times, just have never gotten it on video so I made sure to get one down on video. I had LOTS of dunk attemps off of the lob but I only included a few in the video. I managed to get one dunk off the lob off 2 feet for the first time. Not sure you can call that a dunk but it went in anyways. I also got 2 dunks down off the lob off 1 foot. I had many attempts as you can see in the video and was about ready to quit. You can even hear me in the video say "last try my foot and shin hurts". That's when I finally got it down so I tried again and got it down a little harder. Need to start getting these down more consistently now.



9'6 Dunks

Here are some recent dunks I've done at 9'6. 10 months ago I could barely dunk with 2 dunks. I could get a few down but they were very weak and could hardly be considered dunks. I've just recently started jumping again since the basketball season is over and things are slowing down school wise. Also I just started on trying to get dunks off the lob which I'm doing pretty good at 9'6 now. Starting to jump more off of 2 feet to save my left leg from shin splints. My technique sucks I know. Kind of scared to go fast on the street because I dont want to slip and fall on the rocks.
