The other day when I was channel-surfing, I came across a game of basketball...but no, wait, this wasn't the usual basketball match that I used to see...these guys were floating in midair doing amazing slam dunks!!


The sport is called, slamball. It's the usual basketball with a difference. There are four trampolines which are placed near each of the baskets. The aerodynamism of the players are due to this. There would be four players on each side and whoever scored more points by the end of the game wins.


The sport takes the elements from basketball, rugby, hockey and gymnastics. The mashed up result is awesome to watch :-)
