Was pretty tired after the game. This took like 6 tries. Last time I was really getting up there and threw it down harder.

I dunked a bit early in this one, I felt i coulda waited a bit longer in the air.
Sorry for the crap quality, i lost my camera so i used my phone camera.

(approach at :21)

So this is the first vid i have of me ever dunking on 2 feet. nice. my 2 foot jump has really shot up... i'm thinking it's the 45lbs or so gains in my squat that did it.

I am, however, a 1 foot jumper. For comparison, here's a pic off of one foot that I did last year: http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs025.snc1/3118_77938612546_620727546_2215088_2259018_n.jpg
I can get a bit higher now. I think I may be able to get the first set of vert icons.



anyway, back to the 2RJ. suggestions on the approach? it's an LR plant.


PS - the quality's a lil better on facebook:

Awesome man! The facebook link doesn't work for me but you can definitely tell that was a legit dunk. Not one of those weak ones people call dunks. More vids on the way? Very Happy

LOL, the speed was tremendous. I guess any squat gain will continue to translate into inches on the jump.

You should get a size 5 ball or something and dunk with that till your get-up is automatic. But on a second thought, if you can do it with a regular sized ball then go for that.

Facebook link won't work? I thought I sent the privacy settings to "Everyone" on that video. Maybe you have to be logged in to see it.

Anyway, yea I just realized the run up was pretty quick. I noticed I take a huge leap-in before the gather. Since I'm kind of running away from the camera at an angle, the leap-in doesn't look as large. I think what I'm trying to do is naturally making it a bit like a depth jump to use more reactive strength.

I think I'll try getting in some RL plants on camera so I can have some advice on those jumps as well.
