I want to do but um, I don't quite know how to go about it But um, I'm hoping with like the growth of dunking and as it like gains more popularity People see that it's possible for them to dunk, you know, dress like I think there's just a Lot of room to like make something for yourself like obviously I want to do something I want to feel like I accomplished something I want to inspire people So if I could find some type of role to do that what what inspires you to dunk? I mean it was sort of my brother a little bit shout out Chi boo No, but I mean I've always watched like I remember like Nate Robinson like watching him dunk like that was unreal I was like, he's so short. He's dunking. He's flying like it's like I want to do that I knew I was never like gonna be crazy tall Oh, what are your goals with dunking now because you hit the friggin?

I love to I'd love to hit like behind the back Yeah So all your goals by the way seem like They're all like personal. Do you have any goals of like contests or like getting paid for anything like that? Yeah, absolutely the contest at like the dunk camp was so so so cool. Yeah Shout out to Andy for that cuz like just like just like being in a contest like that's just a huge like yeah I love competing like mm-hmm in track and field like that's what I would do I would compete, you know, I'm up against a bunch of other guys. I'm like I want I want to win I want to whatever so to be able to do that like in dunking it was Again like a game changer for me because like I don't know. I'm a competitor. I love competing for sure Is that like a big part of your life like you always want to be competing? Absolutely? Yeah, so is it against other people yourself both both so tell me more about the competition It obviously seems like a hard court and like a hard deep thing that runs deep in you Is it more just is it all dunking or a competing in other parts of your life, too? I Mean, I think I'm I'm good at like just jumping. I'm good at solid at dunking. So I mean like I Can't think of like I mean in general. Yeah, I'm a competitive person. Yes video games. I love for night. Yeah but Yeah, I mean, it's it's mainly like dunking It's mainly dunking like and being in the dunk contest at the dunk and it like relit that fire like yes I'm not competing in track anymore. Like I want to chase like competition. That's awesome. I can make some money Yes How do you feel under pressure like a big crowd like that? Like if they flew you out to friggin Europe? I think I Think I could rise to the occasion. Honestly. I mean, maybe not yet I need to still need to obviously find my Yeah, you seem to rise to the occasion pun intended, but but seriously like in that contest like Yeah, I love memory that moment when you you rattled it in the reverse pump I mean you're off like do it again. That was so fun. I love watching that back That's who I am. Yeah, I know I can I know I can hit it You know, I had yeah attempts in the last one I just how do you when you feel like you know, you can hit it What does it feel like if you got a like I don't know just tell me a little bit about that I Again, like at the dunk camp like just jumping there. I was like, there's so much more I can do that like I thought before so even like before I like stepped in the gym I was like I I can do I can do whatever the things I want to do the East Bay the I didn't actually think of the Reverse pump or the I didn't think of the 360. Okay. Yeah, but yeah, I feel like I can definitely do it. Yes What what what got you to feel that you can do more like what was them Was it like just like you push yourself a little bit and then you realize you like got close and then you like I can Do more. Yeah. Yeah, it was it was it was definitely like It was just it was just my attempts because like some a lot of like a lot of the dunks I did at the dunk camp were like my first like attempts on like 10 feet and I was like, oh this feels so possible That's crazy. Yeah for sure I always try to tell people is like you gotta like some people say like I'm not aggressive like I'm scared to like hurt myself I'm scared to like try this dunk. It's like you have to like push How do you get yourself to push over like to try that because like even though avert's not like scary per se But it's like you have to go full-heart and like yeah go for like How do you get yourself to go hard like that because I see you get in the zone before it gets me? Hi, I see like in the zone. What do you go close to your head? I'm pretty good at like focusing like I mean, I've had I put like so many reps in of just like just jumping off vertical. Yeah, like even that like I hadn't posted I've done so many box jumps. I've just done that. I don't know I do think those reps like help you mentally as well. Just like knowing you've jumped this high. You have the four Yeah, that's sick. So I'm used to it. I'm in the zone. It's just all right. Cool. All right Let's wrap it up. It's been fucking with Chi your name's Chi right go by Chi at least yeah Ever isn't she like a I don't even know if you know this like an Asian culture type of thing where it's like It means like almost like your essence. I think it means some type of like energy. Yeah. Yeah Do you ever think about that with your own name? Um a little bit. I mean my name actually means my full name is Cheetah Bay So in my dad's native language Ebo it means may God preserve me so Chi Means God. Okay. It's kind of like to your guy. Yeah, let's go with it. No But yeah, no, I definitely I definitely like I Think about that a little bit. Yeah, I try and like what it what do you feel like your essence is that when you when you What you what you want your essence to be when people like meet you or when you like in a competition? I know it's a deep question That's different in a competition. Yeah, like to my competitors. I want to be let's hear it I want to be like scary to them. Yeah, I love it. I mean with with people. I mean in general like with people You know I want to obviously like I feel like you're like your goals For like your energy. Oh, thank you super hospital as you said not as you said, but as you've shown And just like friendly just like yeah, I don't know Do you think about that when you meet somebody like the energy you give off or you just kind of like to be yourself? You know I'm all about energy. That's why I'm asking these questions to I mean I feel like I feel like I'm just myself which can sometimes be like a little Little low key a little less energy than I'd like I guess that's natural Do you that's it's so cool how it's like so different in the competition like you fucking get in that zone Do you feel it like get in the zone or do you tell yourself to get in the zone or just it's just because you're in the competition It gets you in the zone. Um a little bit of both like I love to like talk to myself If I'm about to go for a dunk like this is actually something I've thought about like if I want to go for a dunk I'll I'll like talk some shit to myself.
