As suspected , rim is not 10'

Dunkfather took part in that event , he uploaded a video.

He is 5'9'' , and claims 7'5'' reach and 42'' RVJ , wich i find legit having seen many many vids of him , he does get about 12'' above legit indoor 10' rims at his best jumps.

Here's the screenshot from his highest jump in urban jam :



He needs 51'' to get head at rim , so if that rim was 10' he got 47-48 on that???
Rim must be like 9'9'' or so!

NOT hating on JusFly though, getting neck at rim , over 6'10'' guy , doing a BTL at the same time AND landing the dunk is still beyond sick...
Its just in the 50 area , not 55...


that's ALL cam angle though.. he has that scene in it, in his vid, but its all cam angle.. he has more legit angles lemme re-check vid and post one..

he was jumping far from the rim on those.. real far, so cam angle + that distorts it bad..

these are legit:









those are more accurate.. if rim was low he woulda been bamming some real nasty ones down.. i still think darlington's is legit :D

peace

Im not sure yet...
I saw the other jumps , and i knew the one i posted was distorted , that's why i said it should be 47'' , he needs 51'' for head@rim,  looks like 2'' off so i gave 2 more inches for cam distortion. And i was guessing his other jumps were not as high.
So if that one was 42( PR ) looking 47 , the others would be like 38 looking 42...

Maybe i was wrong though , gonna recheck right now... brb ! :D

Edit : back after rechecking.



Correction about his reach , he says its 7'4''.
At 7'4'' reach and say 7'' hand size  he would need like ~39'' to get wrist at rim one handed , so like 42'' to get both wrists over rim , i need even more , when i get 12'' above a rim one handed i still cant get both wrists at rim , difference is like 4''+.
Also at 5'9'' , 42'' is 60% of his height.

So although he needs 42''+ for both wrists at rim , that jump doenst look like 42''+ to me , im sticking with 9'10'' max.

Does not matter anyway , JusFly did the most awesome jump/dunk ive seen and i dont want to disrespect it or him.
10' or 9'10'' , 56'' or 53'' , who gives a shit , its out of this world anyway!
I feel im even ruining this thread... LOL
Im stopping...

FAIL!
The argument is not about how high he got , it is about the rim height , which actually determines if the dunk contest was legit!
We use the heights they reach trying to estimate the rim heights from those! ;)

Ah... i thought u were ironic!
Well , its 2 different things , dunking and vert. The thing is both need a steady reference.
As for vert , its referenced well , standing reach to highest touch. So , say, Yao reaches 12'' with ease when he jumps , more that 1ft higher than you, he really destroys you ,  but you are a better leaper than him because he cant get 33'' of the ground like you.
As for dunks , reference is the 10' rim. You nail a BTL , i dont , you win! Doesnt matter if , say , i was jumping higher , you had longer and faster arms and you nailed the dunk , you win. But we must be dunking on same height rims!
So the argument here is if the dunk reference ( rim ) was legit , because that crazy beast got his neck at that rim's level!
We're soooooooooooo off topic! :D

For sure , i never doubted his 40+ RVJ , neither JusFly's 50+
Still , that rim (dunkfather's ) is crazy bent , but maybe its higher than 10' and its 10' at the bent point , nevermind.
When he is getting both wrists above it still looks higher than the jump on urban jam to achieve the same thing.
Doesn't really matter , im talking about ~2'' difference so:
- i could be wrong
- doesn't change much , if the urban jam rim was 9'10'' it still means JusFly got his chin on 10' level , so if it was 56'' or 54'' doesnt change anything.
I insist because for me 10' and 9'10'' is huge difference , from dunking hard to not dunking at all , 9'10'' and 10' are 2 different universes!
But for those vertical jump beasts it makes no difference.

Bleh , wtf , lets say both are 10'  ;D  ;D  ;D

lol ya.. when you jump as high as darlington jumped it doesn't even matter at that point, which is ridiculous you know? it's like if bolt ran a 9.3 and it was debated to be a 9.4... it just wouldn't even matter.. sure for history it would be, but god damn, 53-56 RVJ is psychotic.

im still amazed :D

ya man 55" is ridiculously high... it is at the upper limit (or beyond) of human athleticism, currently.
