Verticle Jump.

At what height, Andrew?

ONYX I think you're probably lying about the 360's and such. Everyone's a basketballing superstar online.

At what height, Andrew?

I'm 6'4". On a good day I can do a little bit of fancy stuff on a 9'6" rim (even more if it's a 9') but I've only ever performed simple dunks on a regulation height rim and never in a competition game.

24? I already have an 18 inch vertical.

Jae, I can really do that, since I have been practicing with Jumpsoles for three months now. The Jumpsoles Training is hard, but I got used to it. And it gave me the success I expected, and now I can almost do it all (even 360s).

But not a 10 feet basket huh
If you wanna prove it, I suggest you film it

yeah i think ONYX isnt telling the truth.im 6'1 and cant dunk but grab 10 2 hands.i used to be able to jump higher but after i lost my ymca membership and i got out of shape.im going back now so hopefully in a few of months ill make a new thread and have some pics of me dunking.if you want to jump higher i highly suggest doing explosive exersises like said before. also if you work your hamstring muscles that might help. and if that doesnt work hire a personal trainer or sit on your ass and not try.

I did what Andrew described and I found out my vertical leap is 20.

I'm 5'9 and 144 or 145 pounds and when I'm standing right under the net, I can touch the bottom of the rim on 10 feet. With a full running a start, I can dunk the ball with one hand. Can anybody help me?

Do you think gaining weight would help or hinder you jump higher? I'm 5'9" 1/2 about 134 pounds and I just barely miss the bottom of the rim. However my friend is the same height but bigger (I guess maybe 140-148) and he's also older (17 1/2, I'm 16) and he can hang on the rim. Maybe the extra weight gives you more power to jump off of?


P.S. oh yea theres another guy that's 18 and extremely buff (same height also) and I don't know how much but all of his bulk could be 160 pounds and he can definitely dunk.

I think it just all depends on your leg strength. Since I'm a little heavier, I guess I have more weight on my leg and power which makes it like that I guess. If you have big calf muscles, it should be easy for you to touch rim.

I had like a 70 cms vertical last year. But in the Summer I gained like 5 kgs (just like Filip) and now I jump like 50 cms only. Besides, my knees are horrible and my fitness too.

I can dunk, I can do 360's and elbow hangs and stuff.

They call me Super Riot. Yeah...the ladies dig me.

You need strong,long, flexible and trim calf muscles for high jumping ability. Big, bulky calves restrict explosiveness and agility...

So does Dogg.

Dogg was a fling. Meant nothing to me.

You broke Dogg's heart. I'm sure he'll cry.

How come you guys don't believe Onyx? If I was 6'1" that would be about 4 more inches, so I could definitely get over the rim to hang on it, plus my arms would be longer, so I could reach even higher, I bet I could do a 180 if I got that high.

What really helps me too is I have real long arms so I guess that's the reason why I can touch the bottom of the rim at 5'9 and dunk with a full start. My arms are like Tayshaun Prince, but they fit me like Prince arms fit him.

Do you know what the average arm length is for different heights? (Namely 5'9" )

im 5 10 about 130 pounds . i can grab the 9 and 5 ich rim but for some reason i cant even touch 10 inch rim but my brother is about is 5 11 and 200 lbs and he can dunk on 9 and half inch rim but not on the 10 he misses his dunks on 10 . it makes no sense that he is heavy and can jump so high while im like mad skinny and got bearly no ups .

He probably uses his muscle for strength, and he can probably jump higher because he can utilize explosive movement fairly well. See: plyometrics

Because ONYX is generally full of shit.

I...... see.

I'm pretty sure your brother can dunk on a 9 inch rim.

Ralpx... do you workout alot? Do you do the same exercises as your brother? If you don't do any working out then of course you won't get up anywhere.

No, nothing fancy on a 10' rim. Nothing worth proving to the online world, whatever such proof may be worth anyway.

I believe he was referring to ONYX...

Not right, Jae, I'm not full of shit. A couple of months ago I could only touch the rim (but easily), but I practiced real hard, and now I'm doing those things. I can do a 360, but only two handed, because I can't hold the ball in one hand. 180s are basicly the usual dunks, just with a little rotation. The dunking is also pretty easy for me because I have long arms. I just can't hang my elbow in it, and do a 360 one-handed, and that's it. If you guys want me to film it, I can ask a friend if he'll do it, because I don't know how to do that at all.
