it can't be 59 that's the problem.. i just don't see how that would be possible @)RI!@R!)K!@)DKEF)K

i mean i just hangtimed it dirty using imoviehd, that shit is definitely above 30 frames of hang time from triple extension being first frame.. its like 31-32 frames it looks like..

that is fucking psychotic.. i'd go 53-56 or so due to camera angle.. im not willing to give it 59 but definitely 53-56..

THAT SHIT IS ADARQ & VAG APPROVED. NO JOKE.

im amazed.

Yes , if he's actually 6'6'' like i allways thought , and maybe the rim is 9'11'' , 1 more inch from camera angle , there you go 53'' minimum realistic!

DAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

This guy gets his head tip above rim higher than i will probably get my hand tip ever , WTF??

And he's not even jumping for height , he is doing a BTL during it!!!

Still shocked...  :o x 1000

if he hits 55 on btl and jumping over somebody , that wud have to be at least 59 for max height.

btw,does he train for vert or does he just go and dunk and do core?

Not to be a killjoy, but it seems a little bit fake. The rim looks a couple of inches short.

Still, either way, it's dirty.

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 :

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/314805/various/urban_jam_rim.jpg)

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..

Post by: adarqui on June 24, 2010, 06:34:50 am
he was jumping far from the rim on those.. real far, so cam angle + that distorts it bad..

these are legit:

(http://i47.tinypic.com/2ujmuyt.png)

(http://i45.tinypic.com/8zha3b.png)

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
Title: Re: JUSTIN DARLINGTON over 6'10" guy...neck near rim
Post by: vag on June 24, 2010, 07:16:38 am
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.

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/314805/various/urban_jam_rim2.jpg)

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.

darlington has a natural 50+ (right around 50 or so) RVJ.. natural meaning from all of the basketball/dunking he has done.

no idea though man :)

But he DOESN'T SQUAT!

I wonder what does he squat while training for the high jump.

From KellyB's article http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/verticaljumpfaq.html (http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/verticaljumpfaq.html):
In fact I have a $500 bounty for the first person who can show me someone with a legit 35 inch vertical jump who can't squat 1.5 BW within a week of learning the movement. I could probably crank that up to 2 x BW and I doubt I would ever lose.


50'' to 55'' without squat , that's gonna cost a LOT ! :D :D :D

I don't know how much he can jump standing, no step.

Well , let's suppose he has insane reactivity , like 15'' SVJ-RVJ difference , his SVJ should be in the high 30's to low 40's.
Anyway we wouldn't get the money because he would squat 2xBW easily , im sure.
Furthermore , his VJ (running or standing) is not legit because clearly he is not human!  ;D

how do you know he doesn't squat?

i'm asking cause i know he started training with a coach for high jump so the coach might have had him start to lift, squat, etc.

That was my point. I know he traines/trained for the high jump so he might have done some squats.
