advice and suggestions as you have really helped me to improve!

Wow... you're learning at a blistering pace! Nice variety of skills.
Whats the record for stairs? I'm guessing theres a limit and you're
approaching it.

Well, my own record is a long-ish 7-set. I'm deciding whether I will try
an 8-set! This particular 8-set I'm thinking about seems waaaay high
and waaay scarier than the 7! That is some serious s#@t! If I do it,
I really want to do a "tire-grab" on the way down to make it look
better.

Great progression. You are definitely one of the riders whose ability I
aspire to match

It would make any drop look better, as would shifties, 180's, 360's,
etc.

I think it would be a big step to go from an air tire grab (have you
done one yet? If so I haven't seen it on any of your vids) to one down
a set of stairs, let alone an 8-set.

I think you should work on doing a wide assortment of rolling tricks
down fewer stairs, like one to four, and make them consistently and
smooth. It would look really cool and be safer. Also try to ride down
that 150 set when your KH 20 arrives.

I think he was asking what was *my* record, haha! And I said a
7-set...that's *my* record. Of course I'm sure there's some who could
rolling hop a 15-set, but certainly not I!

It's also probably a bit easier to get more height/distance with a
*lighter* smaller 19" trials like you have, than it is for me with my
bigger, heavier 24" muni (more like a 26 with the giant Gazz!) YEah I
can side hop a 6-set, but I prefer the rolling hop and also I like to
get lots of speed! It's just a rush to be hurling through the
air!

PS: That's a super cool shot of you doing that set into the sand! At
least if you fell you'd have some good "cusion" from all that sand!

stairs are way easier to ride down on a 24" uni every day of the year.

yeah
i didn't direct that at you, you are one of the best if not THE best in
your age group, i was just correcting the earlier post. I think the
record is a shallowish 13 set, but that may not have been stuck.

Skrobo, are you trying to **** on his parade?
He is not 17 with a huge ego. He is 51 and learning fast. I give my
respects to you UniFart!

Whoa! That would be so cool to see on video! But again dude...your drop
down that HUGE set was amazing! Especially with that tire grab! You're
my new stairmaster idol! Btw, was that a 12-set???
