Is it possible to hang on this after a dunk? Edit: Thanks to everyone for the answers! It sounds like the rim can take it, but the depending factor is how well it is mounted into the ground. Excellent advice, all, much appreciated!

my system is very not stable, I am afraid to use it at all, it sways from side to side, I would tell you to look at another model that is more firm...

Bike is Suspended by Nylon Rope to the ceiling. I believe if anyone really wanted Your Bike bad enough, this Hanging /Storage System would NOT prevent them from doing that? You could However remove a wheel and keep it inside or pad Lock Wheel before raising it up! Cheers! Curt &gt;~iii~&lt;( sure freed up a lot of room in My Garage!

You have to lower it, tilt it forward (without dropping the rim to the ground), and wheel it. I do it by myself regularly, and mine is filled with sand, but I am also 6' 1" and 215 lbs. The dicey part is when you lower it - the momentum can make you drop it, and/or the wheels can start to move before you are ready. Definitely doable to rotate it with one person, but I wouldn't want to be doing it every day.

I'm not real sure. I threw away the instructions long ago. It's very solid though. I hung mine on the face of the garage. I used some longer bolts than what were provided due to the structure of my wall. I wouldn't recommend hanging from it, but if I hung from mine I know it would hold me. Violent dunks followed by hanging aren't good for any setup in my opinion. Anyways, I would be comfortable hanging 250 lbs from it.

you have to remove the basket (6 bolts) and then the top goes down fine.Its not difficult but it is a pain if you do it alot.You may want to get different bolts for the basket if thats the case because the allen heads on the supplied bolts wont last if you remove them alot.

Ummm. Probably not for hanging on the rim. But then again none of them will stand forever if someone were to hang on it..

No it's really hanging there. If you took it off, the sides would fall down and there would be no basket. Hope that helps.

You could mount it to a wall using hardware. Ball is a rubbery plastic, but not firm like a real basket ball.

I would guess so. Considering the amount of concrete mandated in the installation instructions, a 200-pounder should be able to dunk and hang. I bought this for my 10 year old daughter so we probably won't be testing weight limits.

Hi. It comes with a spring on ring base plate to absorb shocks. But I never tried to dunk on it bc I'm not tall enough. So far it has been used a lot and still is like new. Very happy with my purchase.

The manual says not to dunk on it. The backboard isn't actually attached to the glass, it's on a separate piece, so I think dunking would be ok. You def don't want to hang on the rim, however

The t bolt should go through the main mounting plate but make sure you have the other smaller mounting plate that looks like this " [ " going toward the other mounting plate, then the spring and then the nut. If you have it going the other way, the rim will be loose. It's easier if you use clamps to hold it in place because getting the nut to catch the T bolt is a little tricky. Use a socket wrench to tighten the nut until a 1/8" goes through. That will tighten up the rim so it doesn't move at all, until you dunk!

Got this for a Christmas gift for our son. He played on it for at least 30 minutes each weekday and 2-3 hours each Friday-Sunday. He dunked constantly and it held up VERY well for the first 6 weeks. BUT, he performed an average dunk tonight and the back board broke in half, and as the half with the hoop attached to it, fell to the ground, it cut his hand slightly. Before tonight I would have given this product 5-stars. I plan to contact the manufacturer to find out more. If I find out anything, I'll report back here again.

Yes, the rim is mounted with a coiled spring, but I wouldn't try any breakaway dunks on the hoop.

Yes. You need to add air. I did it with a bike pump that had a basketball air fill needle on it. Hope that helps :)

Thanks for your post - I just tried it now and it works! I had always thought it would break if I force it up because it seemed to be really stuck. But since you described how to do it I was more confident, and it now works! thanks again

Dunking is just fine. I weigh 210 pounds and played ball, so could really throw down in the day. I personally would not hang on the rim. Its not good on a pro gym one and I strongly feel if you hang on this one you have a great chance of bringing the whole system down on you depending how much weight you have hanging on it, and secondly, the rubber washers that protect the glass from the collapsible springs would get so compressed that the springs would probably shatter the whole backboard. It would look cool....only once. Hope that helps.
