me if I wanted decking. Fortunately, I got the first punch in and that
was the end of that.

Congrats!

Myself I can't imagin jumping down a set but I have had dreams about
riding down a series of sets of stairs to the subway in Boston where my
Mom lives. There are 12 sets of 12 stairs for 144 with about 8-10 feet
between each set. I've also dreamt of hopping up all 144 w/o a rest or
UPD.

Funny you mention that! There's a house close by with a wooden staircase
facing the street, stretching all the way down and there has to be at
least 150 stairs or maybe more! I'm gonna ask the homeowner if I can
hop all the way up in one go!

Man you're up late! I'm at a party and boared.

I'd say definately do it on your trials. Lower speed and hight UPD's.
Plus just plain better control.

Here's a few snapshots of the set. the first two only show *part* of
it,and the third one shows the whole set, but to fit it all in view
it's really far away! If it looks almost straight down, that's because
it is!!!

Dam! That would be tough to do all in one shot! You'd need lots of
endurance.

Then again maybee your KH with it's break 165's and a slightly lower
seat hieght, etc.

I'd probably try it first on my trials and just do a step at a time, but
with no pauses or set up hops in between. I figure 2 per second would
get me up about 120 steps per minute. Yeah, helluvan endurance
test! Whoa Sh##t! It's almost 2:30 am!!! I gotta hit the hay...cya
laters...
