Built to push the limits.
DD Squad, also known as Dunking Devils Squad, is a Slovenian extreme stunt and acrobatic team formed within Dunking Devils. What began as a group of friends creating ambitious trampoline and acrobatic videos evolved into a team combining elite acrobatics, extreme sports, engineering and filmmaking.
Who we are
From giant trampolines and human launch systems to high-speed physics experiments, extreme challenges and record-breaking jumps, DD Squad turns ambitious ideas into real-world stunts watched by millions around the world.

We Built The World’s BIGGEST Trampoline in Our Backyard
01 Giant trampoline
A giant-trampoline project: setting up an oversized trampoline and testing how high and how creatively the squad can fly.
Breaking the Highest Trampoline Jump World Record
02 Record attempt
A record-oriented challenge combining extreme trampoline performance, equipment, testing and measurement.
I Tested The Law of Relative Motion at 80 km/h!
03 Physics experiment
Relative motion at full scale: an athlete launched backwards off a truck moving at 80 km/h, after extensive testing.
We Built a Human Cannon from Scratch!
04 Human cannon
Designing, building and testing a human cannon — a launch system that fires an athlete through the air.

05 Human catapult
A Red Bull project: giant human catapults launching skydivers from a mountain ridge.
We Turned a Trampoline into a Human Racket
06 Large build
A trampoline rebuilt as a giant swinging “racket” that launches a person through the air.
The story
DD Squad grew from inside Dunking Devils.
After years of performing acrobatic basketball around the world, members of Dunking Devils began experimenting with a different kind of playground — online video. They started creating short clips, unusual tricks, challenges and increasingly ambitious stunts that did not need to fit within the format of a traditional live performance.
The camera became part of the creative process. The question was no longer only What can we perform live?
It became What can we imagine, build, attempt — and capture on camera?
In 2018, this direction developed into DD Squad: a dedicated group focused on original stunts, trampoline projects, extreme challenges and digital content.
Trampolines and acrobatics remained at the core. But the playground became much bigger than the basketball court.
Timeline
What started with basketballs and trampolines evolved into something much bigger.
Before DD Squad
Members of Dunking Devils start experimenting with YouTube videos, short clips, unusual tricks, challenges and stunts beyond traditional live performances.
2017
A 10 × 10 metre MegaTramp — designed and produced in partnership with AKROBAT Trampolines — creates an entirely new playground for extreme trampoline tricks, experiments and video projects. Instead of always adapting ideas to existing equipment, the team increasingly develops equipment around the ideas it wants to achieve.

2018
A dedicated group forms within Dunking Devils, focused on original stunts, extreme challenges, trampoline projects and digital content. DD Squad — also known as Dunking Devils Squad — develops its own creative identity while remaining part of the wider Dunking Devils story.
2019
Following increasingly ambitious video projects, including the Fly Guys era, DD Squad develops a stronger focus on content made specifically for digital audiences. Athletic performance, filmmaking and storytelling come together.
By 2020
Published reporting states that DD Squad videos had already generated more than 100 million views. What began as experiments by Slovenian acrobats was reaching audiences around the world.
100M+ views by 2020
Next phase
Conventional sports equipment is no longer always enough. The team combines professional acrobatics with experimentation, physics, construction and engineering: giant trampolines, custom stunt equipment, Russian swings, launch systems and water projects become part of the DD Squad identity.
Human launch systems
DD Squad develops and tests large-scale human launch systems, including a human cannon. For a Red Bull project, the team developed three giant human catapults, combining engineering, testing, safety work and stunt execution.

Individual projects and short-form clips reach enormous international audiences, with some uploads passing tens of millions of views.

Physics
Speed, trajectory, acceleration, relative motion and gravity become real-world physical challenges — a content category that sits between extreme sports, science, engineering and entertainment.

DD Squad keeps pushing trampoline performance through height and record-oriented projects that combine athlete performance, equipment development, testing, measurement, filmmaking and storytelling.
Today
DD Squad continues exploring what happens when professional athletes, filmmakers, builders and ambitious ideas meet.
The next idea hasn’t been built yet.
Behind the stunts
DD Squad combines professional acrobatics with engineering, experimentation and filmmaking. Many projects begin with an idea that existing sports equipment was never designed to make possible.
That has led the team to develop and experiment with giant trampolines, human launch systems, Russian swings and custom-built stunt equipment — turning ideas from physics, engineering and imagination into real-world challenges.
Project 01 // MegaTramp
10 × 10 m giant trampoline
Built in partnership with AKROBAT Trampolines: 2.5 m high plus a 2 m safety fence, needing a 10 × 10 m footprint. DD Squad reports a highest bounce of 14 m (46 ft) on it.
Project 02 // Launch systems
Engineering, testing and stunt execution
Human cannons and catapults designed, tested and refined until they can launch an athlete safely — from a lakeside cannon to giant catapults on a mountain ridge.
Project 03 // Physics
Science at human scale
Scientific ideas turned into full-scale challenges — like testing relative motion by launching an athlete backwards off a truck at 80 km/h.
Project 04 // Giant builds
Custom equipment around the idea
Equipment designed around a stunt concept instead of the other way round — such as a trampoline turned into a swinging human racket.
