Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Travis Corpening and I'm about to show you--try to show you how to dunk on a ten foot basketball goal. Here we are on Camp on the Beach Recreation Center we want to thank them for allowing us to be here, and what you want you want to do when you're starting to take off and reach an actual ten foot basketball hoop, you want to make sure first of all that you can get the ball above the rim, now what you do you do several exercises to work on your vertical leap first to get your actually get your jumping ability or your vertical up high enough to where you can do it and, once you do that then you're ready to go, so. You want to come up to the basket and it's if it's a ten foot goal you want to take off probably four feet away from the basket. You want to get a running start, because ten foot is really really high for people that are first trying to dunk but you want to get a running start and you want to take off about four to five feet out, after you take off you plant with that left foot if you're right handed and you bring it up raise it above the rim that's really important raise it above the rim because otherwise you try to slam it if you don't get above the rim you going to get hung what we call hung in basketball and that's when you slam the ball up against the side of the rim instead of actually getting it over the rim so can dunk it. So, there you have it dunking on a ten foot goal."
