6'1 David Thacker nasty unreleased dunk session; vertical leap jumpsoles

[sully2325]

All of y'all are hating, 9 feet or 10 feet, is he still dunking and if he really was dunking on 9 then he could probably do the same on 10 just not as good, but he is still doing it

[DanPrinMan]

Miss that guy.

[ron24heralde]

which is better jumpsoles or the jump manual?

[Lauvao4]

Man are you sure youre 6'1, because i think your taller your head is like right by the rim when you dunk... Lovein the Session.

[thespacialone]

that windmill is a thing of beauty

[ewl060206]

He has some serious hops, but it's obviously a low rim. If you check him out at casttv.com/video/cz84mr1/6-dav­id-thacker-dunks-with-a-purpos­e-video

you'll see he can dunk on regulation rims, but not with the same creativity.

[TheDiamond69]

wow amazing



[bobadeduj]

this guy is not a fake. the rim being under 10 is likely, but he gets his head to the rim. raise the rim about 4 inches and he could still dunk

[MrSeanjordan]

that is 9 foot six

[AirBl4d3]

damn ... why cant i dunk , i cant say cus im white.

[lazarevic95]

1:03 that was sick

[Ian7570]

I think I could dunk on that net, and I'm fatass.

[bigfootbanger]

If I buy it will I be able to dunk on a 9th rim too? I will! Oh sign me up. Wait I already can and 10 ft too ya nice.I'm 6 3 and when I dunk it theres a foot more of space btwn my feet and the ground... So if he's shorter then why is there less space

[libville]

I just do the math. The rim is 10 ft he is 6'6" and he could hit his head on the rim. That's 42 inches of elevation. Whatever the number he sure could jump. There is a great video of him breaking a backboard in high school. Check it out.

[23DannyFresh]

how much (money) do you get for this video ????

[leon1160]

Im almost 6'1 and im 16 years old...ihavent done a lot of training barley anything is it normal that i can just touch the rim or am i just weak at jumping??

[libville]

The rims aren't always 10 feet in parks. I would be willing to bet that one is about 9'8". For example, on some of those dunks his head is nearly at the rim. At 6'1" that would give him a vertical leap of nearly 48 inches, 3 inches more than Michael Jordan. When he jumps, look at his feet. They're not even close to 3 1/2 to 4 feet off the ground.

[Mr360paul]

@libville ok my park has a 10 foot rim

[buteaux34]

@libville Michaels vert was 39.5" by the way. Beleive me, I know someone that tested with him at the Bulls and was at the white sox training camp when he was at the Birmingham Barrons in AA baseball.

[RapidSkillzMontages]

the video would be so much better if there wasnt that white guy going OHH! after every dunk LOL

[libville]

That rim looks low.

[RapidSkillzMontages]

@libville how could the rim be low? they are filming these at parks and in gyms?

[moneyman113]

this guy prob thinks hes such a tank i bet in real life hes a douche

[ebway23]

how long did yu use yo jumpso;es for

[alotofviagraxx]

yaa thats not 10ft ....if he's 6.1 thats like a 9'8 rim

[freejumptraining]

Smooth jumper...

[DJisthebest1]

is he wearin da jumpsoles while he dunkin?

[windmelo]

@DJisthebest1 as u can see -> no he didn´t.

but i´m sure he worked out with them.

[WhiteMenCanFly]

@DJisthebest1 no, he would get hurt

[vahemkhitaryan1]

sick ass dunking bro and wats the name of tht beat?

[Spljofo]

you did ''Jump Manual'' ? :))))

[ladydi859]

still shitty unless u do it in a real game bitch

[yonibeydgo]

it doesnt matter if its a 10 or 9 ft rim he almost touch the rim with head while dunking much props man.

i can hang on the rim to but i cant dunk what do you recommend

[mattthechamp]

the fact that you can even have the energy to do all of these dunks at one time is amazing... Im spent after like 7 dunks haha

[ibsprintin]

i can immagine marv albert saying " what a dunk by david thacker.lol.(instead od lebron)

[djole94]

how high is your vertical jump man. standing and running. i wanna know how much more i need to be able to do similiar dunks. im about your height, dont know about arm length.

[Margouilla1er]

Damn, you make it look so easy!

Nice Job!

[InfamasSolja]

damn.... Sick dunks

[alotofviagraxx]

yaaa thats not 10 ft broseph...........im 6.5 and i look shorter beside a 10 ft than this guy who;s 6.1 looks to this rim....... its like 9.6

[DoubleYT]

1:16 Power Dunk! Nice 5/5

[dunkoholic]

damn

[jenn1ifer]

GOD thats a short rim. use 10ft pussy

[zstickman1295]

your really good. whats the name of the song?

[samlape]

what is the background track?

[samlape]

how high is your vertical?

[KingKoltAir]

not 10 feet

[jenn1ifer]

that is not a 10ft rim. more like 9' something

[JPMartin5]

@jenn1ifer Its probably 10 feet.

[MadPropzBaller]

@jenn1ifer LOL wtf? you retarded?

[danieldjr412]

@jenn1ifer

9' something? Would it matter? His hand would be hitting from 10.5 to 11 feet anyways.

[jenn1ifer]

ur stupid. the rim ur looking at now is 9ft. making it easy for him to dunk. he would not be able to dunk like that on 10 ft. no wind mills, no between the legs, and his hands would not be above the rim on 10ft. trust me. the rim on this video is 9ft

[Lolercopterz]

@jenn1ifer lol @ anti marijuana

[jenn1ifer]

the majority of california and the U.S. are AGAINST marjuana being legal.

[Lolercopterz]

@jenn1ifer i smoke marijuana out of my bong every day.... i also roll blunts every day.....

[danieldjr412]

@jenn1ifer

Do you have proof?

[JPMartin5]

@jenn1ifer just look at other videos.. he did an eastbay on a regulation goal inside... if anything, this goal is taller. flying101 is legit.

[gameking826]

trust me it's 10 feet, if it was 9 feet it would look like he can touch withotu jumping

[jenn1ifer]

itthat rim is 9ft. I can tell by looking at it. brandon jenninds is 6'1" the same height as this fake guy. and when brandon jennings dunk it looks like a lot higher. the rim is like 9 ft something. like 9'7" -9'8" There are a lot of parks and even schools and gyms where there are 9'7" and 9'8" rims.

[altohart]

@jenn1ifer I don't know if it's 10 but it sure as hell ain't 9.

[jenn1ifer]

the rim is not 10ft. and its not 9 ft. its 9ft something. like 9.5-9.8ft. its atleast 2-7 inches shorter than 10 ft. I hate when faggots find a rim shorter than 10 ft and tape themselves dunking like they can really dunk like that on 10 ft. brandon jennings is real. this guy is fake

[jenn1ifer]

atthis one highschool i work out at, i found 3 rims that are a few inches shorter than 10ft. but the other ones on the same court are 10 ft, but u cant tell the difference if u put it on youtube. they all look the same. i found a park that has rims that are like 9.8ft that look like 10 ft. i know because i can grab the rim easy on those, but its almost 10 ft. and on 10 ft rims i can barley grab the rim with 1 hand. i can tell by how this guy is dunking its not 10 ft high.

[jenn1ifer]

that rim is 9ft. I can tell by looking at it. brandon jenninds is 6'1" the same height as this fake guy. and when brandon jennings dunk it looks like a lot higher. the rim is like 9 ft something. like 9'7" -9'8" There are a lot of parks and even schools and gyms where there are 9'7" and 9'8" rims.

[dirkofyork]

@jenn1ifer

wow tool, the sad thing is you know its 10 ft rim you just want attention for some reason.

[20musicfreak20]

wat plyo exercises and how many reps of them do u do? thanks alot if u answer

[AvengerNoonZ]

anyone know the song/tune?

[dre19872005]

it really takes more than just a vertical to do these dunks your abs have to be good ur felixibilty your hamtrings your glutes upper back muscles all of that lmaoo becuase im 5,11 and i can dunk but i cant do nun of these except prolly off the backboard

[thefuture067]

this is a great vid btw , whats your workout if u dont mind ? appreeciated ;)

[daawun]

Fuckin Eagle..lol

[PiotrekSparrow]

Good workm very good work:)

I'm sure that you were working hard.

Ps: How tall are you?

[MadPropzBaller]

@PiotrekSparrow read the title maybe?

[PiotrekSparrow]

My mistake

[flying101dunk]

@PiotrekSparrow

6'1"

[trilakersnbachamps]

@flying101dunk how can i know my vert?

[redberrey1]

@PiotrekSparrow

read the title you fucking idiot

[YaaBoiiKreamzz]

really am not into fancy dnks i like them simple and when they look like the person is lookin down at the rim for instance 1:15

[buckman9912]

If I want to watch this I'll watch a little leage game

[watcher111222333]

how much is 6.1 feet in centimeters?

[hypercarbon]

close to 190, if not more

[greenarroww]

its 185 cm

[FuckCumInHeaven]

That being said, If you have 40 inch vertical, getting efficient at doing 12 inches jump will not transfer to your maximal leaping. Plain and simple - if you wanna increase your vertical, you must work on horse power which is equally squats!

[krisB3nn3tt4]

did anyone else notice he's white at the begining, and then seemed to develop a slight tan when he's dunking.

[moneyman113]

holy shit this is sick this guy is my hero

[thugmelvin]

this guy's a cunt but he has a running vert in the low 40s

[FuckCumInHeaven]

Don't buy jump soles. You can afford to buy just a squat rack and a barbell for over hundreds and hundreds of dollars for training real maximum optimal fast twitch high intensity strength. Just throw the bulk out or sell it on ebay!

[lakerboy2889]

jump soles isolate your calves on your workouts, and the calves are where most of your jumping ability comes from, barbell squats work your thighs and hamstrings, so it takes much longer to get jumping ability from that

[FuckCumInHeaven]

HAHAHAHA! Another one... Do you seriously think jumping is in your calves? I'll not take you seriously btw.

[lakerboy2889]

its not all in your calves, but your quickness and explosiveness is all in the calves

[FuckCumInHeaven]

Wrong again. Calves only act as stabilizers in your quads. The most explosive and important part is actually the hips and the abductors.

[lakerboy2889]

alrighty then i learned something new today

[FuckCumInHeaven]

You've learned nothing. Go to theverticalsummitdotcom.

[remyrem121]

There is no reason you can't do squats while you are doing jumpsoles.I do plyo with the jumpsoles and I do weight training for my legs.They both work, but in different ways.

[FuckCumInHeaven]

Jumpsoles is seen as gimmick by many of the professional coaches. Calf acts as stabilizers. You know what works? It's doing the same plyometric work out without the soles! Funny how that work eh?

[remyrem121]

That could be true.I'm not an expert.I just did the jumpsoles because my high school coach recommended them.I also used the resistance band that jumpusa sells.

[FuckCumInHeaven]

That is true period

Jumpsoles and jumpusa sells gimmicks, you've been ripped.

Plyometrics work yes but movement efficiency and reaction will be limited without explosiveness IE lifting heavy weights as of those body builders and will not transfer to any activity IE jumping. All things being equal, bigger muscles are stronger muscles.

[ballwizard6]

so ur saying the stronger ur legs the higher ul jump?

[FuckCumInHeaven]

Completely.

[steverockz]

To a certain extent tho FCIHeaven. Its mostly about how fast you can get off the ground that it more determining in a vertical jump. I can barely squat 1xbodyweight but i can run fast and have good explosiveness so i can grab on to the rim with a 32 inch vert despite being really weak.

[FuckCumInHeaven]

From what I've heard, you're relying on movement efficiency and use 100% your strength in squat. That isn't the ideal case. Say, a weak athlete who squat 120 pounds @ 120 BW. He's able to use 120 pounds of force in vertical leap and able to use 100% his force in squat. This athlete is still no where near the athlete who squats 400 @ 180 and able to put an average 80% of it for most. Yes, you can express strength by getting efficient at movement but that will not transfer any other activities.

[thugmelvin]

are you kelly baggett

[FuckCumInHeaven]

Yes I am. Even if you're not me, you should be able to get it. It's been proven to be the solid principle for jump:

Plyo is not strength training and completely body weight with no resistance. It's poor in horse power and maximal strength thus, lower long term results. Lift the heaviest you could and just jump a lot. Explosive lifting - Use 80% your max and squat it explosively: singles of 6 sets...

[thugmelvin]

you're not kelly bagget dumbass. you are a dumbass and so is he

[FuckCumInHeaven]

Nope, I'm no dumbass. I'm Kelly Bagget.

[FuckCumInHeaven]

What do you even mean by squat 1x body weight, do you mean , you squat your own body weight without barbell? You're mistaken. Twice body weight squat is gold to get to 40 inch running vert and you have to gain muscles, weight and bit of fat and cut it later. Example: putting 360 pound barbell on your back and then full squatting it once or one rep at 180 pound body weight is a twice body weight squat. It's fiber contraction is 280 pounds of force plus body weight = could get to 40 inch rvert.

[steverockz]

yeah i can lift a barbell thats my weight which is 62.5 kg one rep max. I dont have much strength yet i can grab the rim at 5'9 and rarely dunk on a good day. um yeah i guess if you can lift 2x bodyweight then you can get a 40 inch vert. I currently have a 28 inch standing and a 32 inch running.

[JPMartin5]

No, my friend Jamaal weighs about 190 and reps 405 on his squat... and his vertical is around 35. It's not always that simple. He's fast as hell though.

[FuckCumInHeaven]

Vertical leap is greatly affected by strength. 35 inches STANDING VERTICAL, gets over 40 inch running vertical! 2.5 times own weight squat gets you to 40 inch standing vertical. The kid might be training for mass. Like I said, you only need to train your vertical using 1 - 3 reps. Increase your raw squat. Raw squat is 1 rep.

[thefuture067]

@JPMartin5 are u serious? woow , im not tring to soak or nuthin but he can squat 405 ,and has a 35 inch vert ? idk why but that doesnt add up.. he should be able to jump higher and run slower than u say , wierd

[JPMartin5]

Why would he run slower? Maurice Green could squat more than 500 lbs. I think.

[thefuture067]

@JPMartin5 well wat i meant was , if anything he should be able to run slower but jump higher

[thefuture067]

@JPMartin5 oh wait .. u mean standning vert ! lol ok , i understand

[JPMartin5]

Yes standing vertical. I'm glad you understand. But sometimes I myself dont understand. Another football player at my school weighs about 210, and he squats 385... and has a 40.5 inch vert. It always varies I suppose.

[dirkofyork]

he probably deep squats like all the way down deep and thats about right then

[thugmelvin]

yes. the ratio of what you squat to your bodyweight all the way down is the single biggest determining factor in how high you jump. also, plyometrics are useless. it is about how strong you are.

[bongapendo]

Nonsense.

[jordanpratt2323]

regulation or not dude got some leapers!

[tmizzle89]

i think this dude is a better dunker then jonsey from TFB. he doesnt jump as high as jonsey but, this dude has much better style.

[Mattrickz]

Is this 10 foot because, his head is reaching the rim in most his dunks lol.. If it is then... jesus

[FuckCumInHeaven]

No it's impossible. It's camera trick!

[randomperson331]

its 10' theres an old vid where they measure it

[BlazerDuck07]

Sick moves and ridiculous hops. Those hoops don't quite look regulation though...

[thatisbadass]

he looked totally different in the start then in actual dunks...

[hulb0tb1ra]

thats too low for u...i bet i can dunk that and im hella short only 5'4

[n1King]

does jumpsoles relly help?? Does it fuck up your knees?? if so hoe much do you add in inches on your vertical leap??

[salkjdasklds]

43 inches (110cm) jump even if I estimate it to be lowest.

[salkjdasklds]

very very excellent!!

[ittiphonh]

you guys have nice courts

[AUrs0]

damn yo freakin beast... im 14 6'1 and i can grab rim.. im starting to train with jumpsoles and ill be ther with you someday lol

[JazzIsSoSkinny]

The goal is probably low like in that other video. sorry asses can't ball!

[OakvilleVenom]

hes tha only gud dunker

TEAM FLIGHT BROTHERS

[sporty0222]

damn man thats hot im almost 5 foot 9 and i still can barelly get rim i have like a 20 in vertical

[flopik99]

360 dunk at 0:43 was really pretty

[djay91]

yeah man, that's actually one of the best i have ever seen to be honest.

[itsgoindown92]

pretty?

haha yea it was adorable wasnt it.

lolol

[digitalhead]

can he play basketball though..?

[djay91]

hmmm lol.

[djay91]

we meet again haha

[digitalhead]

was just a question haha..

im sure he is

[Erikhaos]

Lol

african american dude

[marksprinkle]

i'm not sure the rim is at 10'

[vatoslocos321]

yea im not really sure either- but impressive dunks regardless

[djay91]

you know what? to be honest, why would it matter? haha

[Cybaster9]

I agree on the title. If he dunks on people, these dunks would be "very" nasty.

[janrenbbw]

ive done a little math and i say thats a 48/47 leap

[janrenbbw]

how fuckin buff is this guy^^

[tabbrown45]

dude these dunks are cold but cant u boom without the oop

[janrenbbw]

man these professional dunkers are getting the nicest beats from the best producers^^

[chelseabambam]

oh my god this niqqa qot hops on tha set !

[rdavid130]

get a job

[migsman]

1 foot needs work, but ur 2 foot is neat

[barondraw1]

those hoops look so clean to dunk on.

[knowledgegs]

personally... yall just tryin to advertise shit (to me atleast) doesnt even seem like its bout dunkin anymore.. yall had some crazy videos of dunkers at first but now i just think TFB killin it no offense

[dk420atx]

yo even if they are just advertising, if you want to do anything near what he is doing you should think about getting ur fat ass a pair of these jumpsoles

[knowledgegs]

"yo" my "fat ass" is not tryin to be a basketball player "yo" and people been doin shit better than what he doin before jumpsoles "yo"

[AwwHereItGoes]

ahhh hes almost as good as me, jk jk David is beast

[dunkonu1234]

what a messss!!! How can this guy praise christianity and be on steroids at the same time, so unethical!!!!!

[tyronebiggums69]

HAHAHAHA! Hes not on steroids lol.

[flying101dunk]

what the heck? he's not on steroids, it's called a weight program.

[steverockz]

can you tell me this weight program please? I really wanna dunk. I can currently only barely nick rim. T.T

[rdavid130]

he needs a good kick in the balls and a real job!

[ShawnKnowles05]

its hard to believe he does jumpsoles because i talked to him and he said he had a personal jump program of his own coming out..does he actually use them or he just showing them to make ppl buy them, becuase david is my fav dunker and i dont wanna be tricked into buying them..

[flying101dunk]

he's got his own program when it comes to thigns like upper body, core, abs. improving those things is important when it comes to maximizing vertical too. one has to work on the whole body, not just one part of the body. jumpsoles is made for working on the legs, and it's a product that works. but it's not a magic pill where one can go from a 20 inch vertical to david thacker. david was born w/ jumping talent, jumpsoles helped him maximize legs and explosiveness

[dreamd1981]

man thats nice but...this is too old i want to see new of him..

[NoLimitzSB]

Guys...Never trust testimonials...They just represent Jump Soles because they get money from it, nothing more...Remember when they where saying that there gains comes from Vert Freak? Now all of a sudden its Jump Soles? Like be serious guys...Ask for personal coaching by a specialist...

[flying101dunk]

only 2 guys ever promoted vertfreak. and now they're both full time vertfreak. none of f101 guys who promote jumpsoles promote vertfreak

[brucelee2311]

thacker is simply nasty.

damn fuck jumpsoles whats your workout routine? pause.

[goobanuba]

guys got crazy stamina

[RussiaAir]

D-Thack is a youtube legend :).

The OG dunker, reppin it for the white boys.

[weaselENT]

lol yea hes been at it for a while now

[AfroJones42]

Nice dunks.

[tbone072892]

ATTENTION any one intrested in buying jumpsoles do not overexadurate you will not these kind of results i have jumpsoles i can dunk now i probably got 5 inches on my vert but i can barley dunk it is alot of commitment for little gains

[wildforthenight]

1:37

[MadPropzBaller]

Those dunks are nuts

[Milexor]

David is one of my faves :D

Please, gimme jumpsoles. It's immpossible to buy them in Poland, damn !

[kevindelgado20]

i will sell u mine for 50 bucks

[JSEProduction]

Jumpsoles really work that well?

[patkingsley1]

They get paid to say they used Jumpsoles
