Becoming A Professional Dunker – Gediminas Zitlinskas

Gediminas, also known as “Gedas” has been passionate about dunking for years and describes himself as being obsessed with it. Prior to Bounce Kit, Gedas had been dunking consistently, but mostly on lower rims because he didn’t feel dunking on 10 feet was as much fun due to the limitations in the dunks he could make. Gedas’ obsession only took him so far, his injuries and lack of knowledge on proper training stopped him from taking himself to that next level.

Here you can see him before using Bounce Kit:

In 2016, Gedas made the trip from Lithuania to Latvia to watch Jordan Kilganon compete in Kings of Air contest, where the Canadian won for the second year in a row.

Following the dunk contest Gedas got to meet Jordan for the first time. Gedas proceeded to tell Jordan that he’ll be competing against him one day. “Damn I was having a hard time there just watching,” Zitlinskas reflected. “I wanted to dunk badly.”

He didn’t know how prophetic that thought would be.

“Then you opened Bouncekit, I didn’t hesitate, bought it, started studying it and training,” he recalled.

Prior to Bounce Kit, Gedas was able to complete simple one and two hand dunks and on his best day could make a windmill. Since using Bounce Kit, he approximates his vertical jump gains to be around 10 inches.

Gedas’ abilities along with his increase in vertical now allowed him to complete world class dunks on 10 feet. Some of these dunks include many of Jordan Kilganon’s signature dunks such as the scorpion, the krown and dunking over a car.

Gedas’ newfound dunking talents have allowed him to travel all over Europe and Russia where he’s beaten multiple renowned pro dunkers and won several dunk contests.

Here he is winning the FIBA 3×3 dunk contest in Prague:

Later in 2017, Gedas proved to be right when he got to compete against Jordan Kilganon in the very same dunk contest he was spectating the year prior. Here are the two of them competing at the Kings of Air:

Before Bounce Kit I could barely do a 1-hander. After completing it, I gained 4.5 to 5 inches and I was able to do windmills, reverse pumps and I was getting really high on my 1-handers. I was also able to easily dunk off two feet which I could never do before. It's a great program, I 120,000% recommend it!”
