  1. not that it matters much, but I just did my first 7set! it was SO
    insane, I accidentally did a shifty and then after landing it I like
    had a siezure. not really, but I almost threw my uni down some
    bleachers.

    I have crossed over from sets mundane to sets insane! It felt good.

    (oh, I had been eying this set for weeks, so it felt good to finally
    get it.)

    sorry if the above makes no sense, I'm still adrenal-high and freaking
    out. I bet I'd pwn a wpm test if I tried. my hands are shaking.

  3. words per minute.

    I'm less shaky now, but I'm not gonna go do it again cause I think i'd
    die.

    I did some interesting vector stuff with the photo in your avatar,
    because it was the best unispin pic I could find.

  4. Yeah, I could see how dieing would be a factor......So, is a 24" easier
    for jumping stairs?

    'This pic?' (http://tinyurl.com/ljmqg) Already? I only took it
    yesterday :p

  5. nice job man!
    seven is the biggest stairset I've ever landed too...gives you a pretty
    insane rush when you're flyin through the air.

  10. Great man!

    I've done a 8 set, but it's not THAT fun to jump down stairs!
    But of course I'll jump at least half if it gets in my way! 😉

  13. haha, everybody else has seven as a max!

    I need to do eight now, but first I want to film the 7. I'm really
    scared of stairs now. It's weird, even though I landed it perfectly I'm
    still scared and think I'll die.

  14. yeah, same with me. I'm always scared...because of that, I've only done
    seven stairs like four times in my life. landed them almost every time
    though. it feels good.
    I think maybe from 7 stairs to 8 stairs is a huge barrier for many
    people.

  17. @ KC: I'm scared that my cranks are bent too. It's a stock KH, so it
    could be the pedals (I've heard snafus are kinda weakish?), but it
    would be evil if my crank was bent.

    Max: I'm 180ing 4sets now, and I'm thinking I'll try this big 4set I
    found. I have a 5 to try too, once I get 4 down perfect.

    The second day of having my KH I bent the snafus, so I have brand new
    snafus that are bent :p . I bent the cranks with both JC and primo
    pedals, so they must be stronger.

    I would leave the snafus on, because then you are less likely to bend
    the cranks sine the pedals will take the blow, and they are cheaper to
    replace.

  20. nice thought on that KC, I think I agree.

    Oh, and Forrest: I think stairs on a 24" is easier than a 20, but I
    have no real comparison. I don't go too fast when I'm gapping them
    anyway, it's more of a smooth, easy pace. If I go too fast I find that
    I freak out and abort at the last minute, landing somewhere in the
    middle of the set. usually I can ride out though. (not sure if you
    could on a 20. probably depends on the stairs.)
