50 Inch Max Vertical!! 5'9" Riley Smith is INSANE!

5'9" Riley Smith is a pro football player with BOUNCE!! One of the highest jumpers I've ever seen in my life!
Once we can get gym access again, i'll definitely do some more dunk sessions with Riley!

[@Jcupp33]

Love seeing people under 6ft with this bounce! Super entertaining

[@sukmydeck]

He broke the social distancing rule against the rim!🤣

Dude got bounce! This just goes to show how athletic TDub really was.

[@xandertheoktavist]

Sky Leon very true. Tdub was just hands down the highest jumper ive seen on KZbin . Especially that footage where he faced off against Jusfly and Rudeboi. Man was he flying there...

[@mg141au]

Couldn't agree more. He had a special generic gift. This car right here developed his jumps from the demands of his training. T-Dub wad born with this. Look at the body composition of the two. One is natural, the other due to training paradigm

[@stefanpapdi5151]

Tdub was a dunker like these guys but moved like an NBA athlete Sometimes it was like he is drose doing crossovers mid air Simply a GOAT

Riley is an example of a prominently strength jumper not a natural jumper. Strongest looking dunker I ever seen.

[@scarred10]

No such thing,jumping isnt about strength at all,its explosive power,none of these great jumpers are very strong at all.

[@2DarkHorizon]

@@scarred10 That's not true you are comparing professional bodybuilders or youtube bodybuilders against them. But if you get the average person to have the amount of muscle on their legs it aint easy.

[@drealboy_]

Being able to jump is a gift. Now certainly you can work on it and improve, but in talking the 35 and up dudes that's never worked a day in their life in their leaping ability

[@2DarkHorizon]

@@drealboy_ i agree with you im yet to see someone on youtube to jump 40 inches since starting training past 25 or even just 20. It seems a lot of these 40 plus verticals came about because of physiological changes when teenagers when the body was growing quickly and they were intensely training vertical leap at the time.

wow.... I like to see these crazy short dunkers just doing normal dunks but to the extreme.... all the trick dunks are great but just 'regular' kind of dunks can look awesome when they are done right, like the hang time two hand dunk.... makes even Nate Robinson look a little restricted by gravity. I wish regular reverse dunks were more appreciated, or sideways reverse with hangtime from inside the dotted line like Jordan. LOL

No offence. Maths Is not correct if his head is 49 inches then he should be 71 inches tall which is 5'11" for it to add up to be 10 feet rim. ( 71+ 49 = 120 inches) 120 inches is 10 feet. He is 5'11" not 5'9" or the rim is not 10 feet tall I am his fan by the way.
