Welcome Thorton!

Some good stuff in that vid: http://www.youtube.com/user/SCF24#p/u/1/nvAepHsm1D8

How are you able to dunk on 10 feet with "only" a 34-35" RVJ? That's pretty sick since I couldn't last time I tried with a 36" RVJ and I am around your height with 5'10. What is your reach?

Anyway, very good work on those dunks regardless of the numbers!
