Air Alert

I'm kinda sorry about bringing this back from the dead, but does Air Alert really screw up your knees? I'm really skeptical about this right now. But I want to increase my running speed and my vertical jump. Hmmm, can someone help me out? And should I buy it for $20? It's pretty cheap.
 
I kinda want to buy it... imagine a 125 pound 5'10" guy dunking! Mwahaha.
 
Im pretty sure that I need to use air alert or Jump Soles because I am 6'3'' and I cant dunk. Im Sick and tired of it! I can jump up and grab the rim just fine but getting the damn ball in the hoop is my problem.
 
This just sounds like some simple plyometrics routine some idiot wrote up. Best thing is if you're 13 to just play ball, any maybe start doing some high rep squats. Do plyometrics whenever neccesary or you feel like it don't need to follow some program that kills your knees. Not rebuilds muscle at the same rate.

Are you completely stopping or are you gonna keep going?
 
I got some decent results, but I stopped immediatley, I was told to stop by an extremely smart guy, hes like a physio and a coach...But if it starts to hurt a lot common sense would tell you to stop though.
 
hmmmmm, so should I get Air Alert or is there some kind of alternative?
 
Dang...it sucks, cuz I can jump higher than everybody I know, but I can't dunk. I am 5'11 and it drives me crazy!
