“Longest dunk from a trampoline contest - Guinness World Records,” shared with this title, the video is over four minutes long and every second is worth watching. The post’s caption reads, “Two competitors go head to head to see who can bounce, flip and dunk the furthest in this extreme basketball challenge” and the clip shows exactly that. The two contestants shown in the video are Davide Rizzi from Italy and Csanad Karoly Borlay from Hungary.
