Sets Mondain to Sets Insane?

I just jumped a kind of big 6 stair the other day (picture below). It
was hard because i only had enough room to pedal 2 revolutions. I think
7 or 8 stairs is when it starts getting insane, depending the size of
the step. maybe 6s too.

I think the most stairs cleared is like 12 or 13.....I think that 6 is
pretty big and it just gets better from there.

Four sets are the biggest I have done, and eight seem like the point
where I start to think people are insane, but it really depends on the
stairs. Actualy alot of six sets I see look pretty insane but they
still seem doable, just not ready to try them without splined cranks.

I've cleared a seven. I consider it a big set if I can't clear it.

6 is getting towards insanity...I've cleared a 7, and that felt really
insane. I want to try an 8 stair, but theres no good ones around here
that I can find.

I've done a 5 set, and that's pretty easy. Can't really find any good 6+
sets here.

I've 180'd a 5 set, that felt pretty insane at the time, but I did land
it 2nd time and then 2 more after that. I've landed a 7 set once, but
the steps are really narrow so it was only 3-4ft of distance. That was
def. Insane, I only tried it after watching defect a billion times then
going riding. Haven't managed to pluck up the courage to try it again,
I might do it and film it today.

EDIT: Remembered I 'filmed (DIVX)' (http://tinyurl.com/aklrh) the
original 7 set. You can see how short the distance is by the fact I
drop from static. (For those not wanting to see my 'build up the
courage' prehops, the actual drop starts at 19 seconds)

Loose.

wow, people think six is insane? I've got a couple sixes (easy ones) and
I'm going to do this bigger one that I found when it warms up. five is
pretty mundane, and I think eight is insane. I've looked at an eight,
but there's no way I'll do it soon. I need to work my 180s for bigger
sets though. I'm only at big 4sets now.

If youre just talking about cruising down a stair set normal (no tricks)
then anything over 10 is pretty insane. But at what point do you guys
draw the line? I do see some skill in going big but not enough to
justify the damage im doing to my uni (and maybe knees?). Perhaps id do
just one HUGE stair set just for a video and thats it. That really hits
it home for skeptacle non-uniers too.

What i appreciate alot more are tricks down 5sets to about 7 sets.

MHO🙂

I can easily do fives, easy, but I've never done 6+, mainly beacuse
there just aren't any around here.

For me, 6 is big because I've never done it, but from what I've seen I
would say 8 is starting insane.

I think by 'insane' he means that if you screw up you could hurt
yourself pretty bad. five stairs, it'd be hard, but if you bail while
flying down a six stair you can potentially hit the ground very hard.

ah. ok, that makes more sense. it seems to me that 6 sets shouldn't be
too hard, and most people who try could do them. I did my first a long
time ago (last year, i think) but it was a small one. I need to find a
good 7 set to try.

I've 180'd a 5.

But I really need to find a 6.....

When I was first trying to jump a 5 like 2 years ago I hit the bottom
step and face planted, and bent my seatpost..... so I'm a little weary
of higher stairs than I can do. But I'm sure I can do it.

theres a 4 at my moms apartment that ive tried a few times and landed
once, but oddly enough everytime that i didnt land it i was pedalling
like crazy but then i started aproaching it way slower and i thought i
would hit the last step but still went for it and landed it.and then
theres a 4 on my dads deck that i clear everytime, its 4 stairs long
but about as high as a 3
