I used to be able to smack the rim... and also to clinch onto the edges of walls that tall, and then climb them up because I had stupidly competitive friends lmao...

nowadays I am sure I have a good vertical jump, but more like a football one...

Standing, not really. Running only if if I launch off my leg leg. My right knee was repaired after I got hit by a car. I can run fine on it, but it limits my squats to around 300 (I'm 6'2 and nearly 200, so it should be about 400 for someone in my shape). And I can't get a lot of lift. Sometime even have an issue going up or down too many flights of stairs.

I can jump almost a yard high but that was because I practiced gymnastics. This is high in my standards because I'm 4'9. Taller than Simone Biles by one inch. I wish I kept practicing. Gymnastics was actually fun.

I didn't even know this was a thing but I didn't play basketball on a team or any sports after 7th grade. I had an issue with the fact they made you wear suits & I didn't like that my coaches thought they could intervene, in everything & tell me what to do. Haha plus I was never stable in highschool cause I was always in trouble lol

Not any more. I used to when I was a dancer. These days the missing leg hampers me a bit. I'll get there once I've restored my fitness levels

  It just takes time. Movement with a prosthetic leg requires up to 300% of the strength of a natural leg because it's dead weight.
  
  I'll get there though.

I've got a bad knee. I'd probably come down and shatter it. I used to be able to do it when I was younger.
