Hit my most effortless dunk yet this morning. Crazy that my first self bounce dunk was only a couple of months ago, this approach fits me really well! Rim height 9’11” by @oldgregdunks

Had one of my best low rim sessions ever yesterday! Hit a BTB scorpion on 8’6” and almost hit it on 9’. Even the 8’6” one might just be my best low rim dunk ever. Overall, I felt great and it was just so much fun! by @oldgregdunks

My big goal is to hit my first 360 dunk ever before I turn 40 next fall. Since I never had even dunked on a 10-foot hoop prior to a couple of years ago, hitting a 360 would be a pretty huge accomplishment for me. I think hitting it off 1-foot and off 2-feet are both a possibility. Still need to jump higher and add some more rotation, but I’ve been making a ton of progress with this goal. This morning I had some really good attempts!

Hit my first 180 ever this morning! Hoping I can turn this into a 360 before I turn 40 next year, if not sooner. Been working on this dunk for awhile, so really happy to finally have it go down!

Hit a solid 1-foot dunk today! Also did some low rim dunks but none of the new dunks I was trying went down. Planning to start a new training cycle next week as well as check-in on the vert!

Wasn’t super clean but potentially hit my first off dribble dunk this morning. After that I ended up hitting my best off-the-backboard dunk ever, and probably my best overall 10’ dunk ever (okay it’s technically 9’11” but close enough) which was such an awesome feeling. Just an overall great session. Pumped for next week which is not only my deload but also a quick trip to Atlanta to watch the Dunkman World Championship! by @oldgregdunks

Trying to be a versatile dunker who can dunk off 1-foot, 2-feet, and off vert. While this hoop is only 9’8.25” it hopefully won’t be long until I can do all three on 10-feet (currently missing off vert on 10-feet).

On a side note, it started raining during my session this morning, so I had to cut it short. A bit of a bummer and certainly a surprise for an August day in California! by @oldgregdunks

I tested my approach vert today and while I was warming up I had my easiest 10’4” touch ever. After that jump, I certainly thought a PR was gonna happen. However I ended up maxing out at 10’7”, same as I tested last month, which is a 30” approach vert.

On the positive side, my 10’7” bell hit was way better than last month’s 10’7” touch, in which I just barely knicked the bell. So unofficially, my vert is up about 1/2-inch, which is great. Hoping to break my 10’8” PR soon! by @oldgregdunks

It was Low Rim Saturday today, and it was such a fun session overall. Squeaked in a 1-foot cuff and a 2-foot 360 on 9’10”, which were big PRs. Also hit a reverse spin 360 off vert on 9’ which felt super satisfying.

Worked a bit on JRich eastbays and even tried a few Tamalahs on 8’, which were incredibly tough for me but super fun to attempt. by @oldgregdunks

Slide 3: 1-foot dunk
Slide 4: 2-foot off-dribble attempt
Slide 5: Height check. One of my highest jumps ever.
Slide 6: 1-foot rim touch with takeoff foot on the white line.
