    Oh yeah... i remember me and my dad used to watch it. It was pretty sweet. Me and my friends tried putting a trampoline on by his hoop. Yeah doesn't work too well. Especially if you fall off of it theres pavement. lol

    me and my old best friend used to play this all the time, only we called it "flagrant", bc you were allowed ot tackle the person.

    Yea it was cool...the first season. Everyone got caught up in playing their own slamball in their backyard they didnt watch the show. They went out of business after a few season. They started out popular, but soon they had to move their show time to mid day. No one watched then Spike TV cut them

    I haven't seen it in like 3 years, but when it was on, I was watching, no question. It was amazing, but I never tried it since I have no Trampoline.

    I tried it out with some friends a few times. Didnt work the best. Trying to play basketball on a trampoline you kinda have limited space. Also the trampoline is like 3 feet tall. So your dunking on a 7 foot goal...and when you're already 6 feet...yea, you get the point, lmao

    Yeah I remember that. It was really cool to watch them soar above the net and slam it home. I wish I could do that someday. Dunk off a bunch of trampoline things. It would be really cool.

    I'm pretty sure they had olympic trampolines, too. Those are so much more bouncy than normal ones.did anyone remember the dunk contest they had? that stuff was sick.

    Ha I remember this show, it lasted longer then the XFL. I think it's too hard to create a new sport in this age and have it survive.Did anyone remember that one guy when had tryouts and he literally landed on his foot and it supposedly teared where you can see his bone.

    i remember that show, was pretty cool, they should try to bring it back but w/o the stupid acting by the coaches. Dunno if you guys ever watched when they televised the tryouts and some guy over shot his target and his foot got stuck in the rim and it snapped. It was pretty sick

    I really hope they bring it back. Was pretty exciting. And there was another show but I cant think of it. Where they have like streetballers in the main cities and they do crazy dunks and stuff.
