Wow man , look so sick!!!
Should be like 7'' below wrist , so 15'' above that rim!
Above 11 for sure , 11'1'' if its 9'10'' or 11'2'' if it's 9'11'' , cant tell , doesn't matter anyway , its damn fucking sick high!

PS : rim-touch-maths FTW !!!

thanks man! ya it's definitely not 9'11, seems like 9'10 or so.. i'm probably going to try and peak again on tues, but on 10' so we'll find out more then.. i've been relaxing more than normal lately, because of the video editing, so it's kind of like i've been deloading.. hehe

one of those clips worked perfect for my editing technique i went there to accomplish, so i'm happy about that.. have to edit that for my main youtube channel, it'll be pretty trippy.. working on a vid for arowe today lolol, then i'll post a tricked out clip from that session after.

peace!!!!!

Man those videos are sick, awsome editing,

thanks alot man, glad you liked the vids!

and ur jump is massive, how many inches is it?? how high can you touch?

well, last year around september it was 39" RVJ max, ~37" or so average.. ~4 months or so prior to those PR jumps, I hit 36 & then 36.5" (132" & 132.5" aka 11' & 11'.5") officially on the vertec before quitting my job there.

recently, i don't know what my highest touch is, but i imagine it is around 11'1 - 11'2" or so, i've pulled off some pretty high dunks lately on some peak jumps.. i'd say I average around 10'11 and 11' on my dunk sessions lately, with ~1-2 peak jumps above that, usually on misses.. so i'm around 37" or so right now.

i hit a 2 step 34" non-peaked a few weaks ago on my homemade vertec, i get max height off 4 steps.

4" down my wrist is 36", 8" down my wrist is 40"... 11" down my wrist would be elbow, 43".

sorry for all of the math, haha..

peace man

bw = 151
soreness = none
aches/injuries = none
fatigue = low

felt good.. caff'd up good, legs felt strong.

workout #1: landing a few dunks for this effect i want to try
- rim is "like" 9'10, you can see the bend in the rim, it's definitely not 9'11, but it doesn't seem much lower than 9'11, i did one jump there on 9'11 off two steps during warmup and it only felt about an inch higher so.. couldn't dunk on the other hoops, lazy full court going on & people shooting around on other rim, needed no one in my video shots so..
- i have no idea if i jumped high or not, feet look high off the ground according to the irc chat.. no idea though..
- edit: feet felt good for entire session, that was good.

workout #2: about to do it, pullups and possibly heavy db rows

edit:
workout #2:
neutral grip pullups: 5, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8
s.a. db row: 50 lb @ 4 x 10e, 1 x 15e
glute bridges: 100, 100, 100, 100, 130
calf raises: 50, 50, 50, 50, 50

some pictures:

takeoff point + inches off ground..

anyway, don't care really, rim is obviously lower than 10', i went out there with the plan of landing only a few dunks and doing something else for some special editing technique.

peace, i'll edit this later.

OK shit is getting crazy. I did some jumps and dunks outside, was gettin up good so I went inside to use the vertec.

First jump = 29.5"svj (1" pr), I couldn't believe it. Two jumps later... 30"svj #%@&#$

Rvj- got up to 34.5" (.5" pr) after a few and was getting sorta tired from jumping outside earlier... but after a few more attempts I still got 35"rvj #%$@$%

MILESTONES ACHIEVED

I got it all on vid so I'm gonna upload something special later with the help of adarq.

pr city

ante up

go get it

i talked to arowe on the phone, that's how i heard this news, on the way to my own dunk session lol.. absolutely ridiculous, so happy

can't wait to see the footage.. i'll put something nice together.

For those who have not seen it, Deliver Hope is the live action trailer for Halo: Reach. Watch it here:

The (short) making of is pretty cool: http://www.giantbomb.com/how-the-halo-reach-live-short-was-made/17-3377/

some concept titles i made tonight after workout:

Yea that vid is sick. You should use it as the official vid for adarq.org. Song, editing, concept, everything is perfect, either one of those titles are cool. I agree with LBSS though, a make would be even better.

Thats extremely cool man. Damn.

thanks flander!

The first one is dominant, probably the coolest/most professional-looking thing I've seen of yours. Would be better with a make though

hah thanks.. ya, i'm just messing with old clips, uploading to my misc-vid youtube channel (adarqtv).. i did both of those in < 1 hour so that's pretty good.. i could make them alot better too.. the overall technique i achieved, i'm pretty happy about.. now i know how to do it and ican see myself implementing it in some videos..

snatch titles are a bit different, i like these too.. definitely could achieve that, probably would be even easier come to think about it.
