Ehhhh. I highly doubt ANYONE with bounce like that is 'natural', everyone near 48"+ has spent time working on it. Hell most guys around 40" have put in serious work (although ive met a few guys who legitimately had a 40" vert through no 'work', they just have it lol).

Its the guys like KF, Chase Skinkis, and Jkillz that motivate me the most because I KNOW (from video) that they've gained a ton of vert through determination and work.

um, no. i'm sure this kid works hard, spends lots of time jumping, balling, etc. but the idea that he has the vert he has with no natural talent is absurd. in fact, no one with a 45" vert has poor or even mediocre natural jumping ability.

i will NEVER jump like that. can i get to a point where i can dunk? yep, i'm close as it is and there's no reason to think i can't get that extra inch on a day when i have someone to throw me a lob. but i'm never gonna BTL, i'm never gonna pump reverse. ceiling is too low.

hile I do believe everyone has a genetic ceiling I also doubt anyone short of a professional athlete comes close to reaching theirs. Too many compromises.

That said I definitely agree that anyone 45"+ has some natural ability. What vag posted certainly reinforces that point. My point was that while there will always be gifted athletes I find it more impressive watching those born with 'less' do more.

oh, for sure, to get close to your potential in anything you have to be doing it full time. same thing goes for writing or painting or day trading or selling vacuum cleaners.

Who said that Raptor? Neither LBSS or I said anyone could get where Kroha is. We both acknowledged that everyone has a genetic ceiling just that not everyone reaches theirs.
