    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Diesel @ Jul 15 2006, 11:08 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>all yall saying you got 30 inch vert get the **** outta here. Vince Carter has like a 43 inch vert lmao. My vert is only probably like 18 inches. I'm doing Air Alert though so I'm going to get that up.As for that height test thing it's a little weird. I'm 15 and 5'10 right now. My dad is 6'4 and my mom is like 5'4. I got 6'1. I'd be happy at that height, but I was expecting something a little bigger. I got a huge uncle(6'7), and plenty of the dudes in my family are 6+ feet except for like 2 of them outta 6.</div>Vince Carter has a 50 inch vert. actually and nobody here said 30 inches exept CB4 but he just guessed even though it's obvious he doesn't. A lot of people here are around 20-25 inches which is believable especially since a lot of people here have used programs liek Air Alert.

    I guessed because kingjamzes said he had a 25-27 inch vert. We can both touch 9.5 inch rims so I did my math. He's about 3 inches taller then me, and probably has longer arms. So if he was right, I am probably about right..

    The air alert exercises are pretty good though. Find them and print them off online.

God the new stretch on Air Alert three was the worst.

    Last time I checked was like...2 years ago (summer of 6th-7th grade) and I was about 24-25. I can jump higher now. I am just under 6'0 and can touch the rim on a regulation hoop. I am supposed to be 6'3-6'4 when I grow up. Both my parents are 5'11. I am 14 right now, going to be a freshmen.I never did any of that Air Alert or Jump Soles stuff.

    I'm 5-10 and can kiss the rim on 8 foot 3, but that means I can jump over 29 inches which seems wrong. I can touch 10 foot 3 though.

    I'm going to print out Air Alert 3 again. I think my problem last time was lack of motivation and not using the full 2 minutes to rest.

If you can easily palm a ball you need to get the ball 4-6 inches above the rim, the backboard is at about 9 foot 6 anyways.BTW, the test says I'll be 6-4, my Dad's 6-0 and my mom's 5-7.
