    World Record Trampoline Dunk

    This guy's dunk is pretty amazing. It isn't acrobatic like Turbo (no flips), but the distance is unbelievable. I think the Rocket's front office need to get on the phone!

    holy crap, i was impressed with how high he was jumping in the beginning. what was funny was they kept showing the same replay with the announcer's voice in it.

    A friend of mine has one of those nice trampolines and jumping even 1/3 (or less) as high as that guy was jumping is scary as hell.

    That was pretty insane, but you could have imagined what would have happened if he smacked his face into the backboard....

    that was pretty badarse.

    it reminded me of super mario bros 2 when you picked luigi as your character. whenever he would jump, he would kick and run while up in the air. cool. :)

    Awesomeness. So would that be considered a two- or three-pointer? :p

    I really liked that basketball league they had for a while with all the trampolines. They had like three trampolines around the perimeter, and one under the basket. Whenever anyone went for a dunk, a defender would use the trampoline under the basket to sky and contest the dunk. It was pretty intense. Can't remember the name of the league.
