Video competition(yes it belongs here after much thought)

ok, so here it is, its a new competition, much like the back it up
thread, but we are running 3 competitions at once here.

Up stairs

Down Stairs

Long jump.


You can join at any point, but to keep it interesting, I'll start it
out at 1 stair up/down and a 2 foot gap. I want to see everything done
by the end, so here are the rules

1 stair at a time up or down. ... say the person in front jumps a 4...
you can jump a BIGGER 4 or a 5.

distance hops must be 1 foot longer until we hit 7 feet. then they can
be 6" until we hit 9 feet, then it will be 1/2" increments... just to
get a crazy jump as a winner. must be curb to pallet or measured gap.
please measure correctly... no "triangular" measuring... you are
measuring a straight distance.

winner must post 2 different stairsets/gaps to be the official winner

"competitors" have one day after calling the shot, and can be beaten
out, but still post their video for egotistical reasons.

thats all, best of luck to everyone and i hope we break some records
:D


A few missing thoughts ... no beating distance hops by more than 6"
after 7 feet. to make it last

please post the top of each category at the end of your post so its
easy to keep up with.



have at it!!

Isn't it okay for people to jump stick-to-stick, like in the IUF rules?
Set up your shot from the side so both sticks are visible, then it
should be easy to see if either stick moved during the jump. Then bring
out the measuring tape in a single shot!

I don't like the idea of sticks for measuring. It means that you have to
take off earlier and land further to not hit the sticks. I can't think
of any trials lines that would require two sticks. Curb to pallet seems
the most accurate way to measure gaps.

FTFY

With sticks, one is on the ground for take-off and landing.

Landing a bit gap onto a pallet, you're not guaranteed that the pallet
will stay in place. Should that pallet skitter out from underneath
you, you're looking at a hard landing onto your backside, hip, elbow,
wrist, what-have-you.

Just my two cents...

you usually land with enough downforce to hold a WOODEN pallet in
place.

I'm in for rolling hop up 5 stairs, and probably 6 if people keep on
going and if I can find one that is possible. I won't enter the
competition for jumping down stairs, because the biggest set I have is
only a ten (actually there are two, one that every one saw in Loading
in Progress (I'm not going to do it again, it was just suicide with
that run up) and the other one is on a private terrain (and I'm not a
bad boy...and the run up is 2 revs only)). After ten, there's 25 or
something, and I mean, I looked all over my (small, but still) country
(I didn't ride everywhere, but close :rolleyes: )

And Miles, what did you mean when you said 180 ? Did you mean over a
gap, or down sets ? If you meant down sets, I'm up for that too. How
about 360 ? It's time to break that 8 stairs record !

no, keep it small to start off, for 2 reasons, to give newbs a chance
and to make the contest last longer and have a little more flare.
