  1. Well, maybe I should have called it, (Un)lucky seven! I wasn't in my
    best form today due to spraining my ankle (not wearing my regular
    high-tops today:eek🙂 -and- losing a pedal! ("slipped" right off the
    spindle during a drop!) But being the crazy person I am I decided to go
    for it and try my next challenge...the 7-set! I had LOTS of bails
    leading up to my final, semi-successful jump.

    This set is a bit longer than usual as the steps have about 2" more
    depth each, so it's almost like an 8 set! Plus the total height from
    the top to the landing area is a bit lower, so less air time to clear
    the set!

    Please post your comments and I hope you enjoy; it's a rather short
    installment at about 2 1/2 minutes. 🙂

    Cheers to the old farts!😎

  2. That link's not working. Well, it works, but the video doesn't show. It
    says it's still being processed. And has been for the last 2 hours now.

    It is weird, I watched it a few hours ago and it worked fine and now
    its saying it is being processed...youtube has some problems.

    Nice set Terry, that looks huge.

    I was looking at an *8* set just down the road at a church, and the
    total length outward seemed a bit shorter than the 7-set in this video,
    but the 8-set was definitely *higher*, so I could imaging landing that
    one maybe easier than the somehwhat longer, shorter 7-set. Gotta wait
    for my ankle to heal first because that a serious set!😎 I mean
    less than a month ago I was only doing 4-sets, so maybe I'm trying to
    progress too fast!

  8. Love watching your videos. Your going big now! My biggest set is still
    only 6 :P Kinda funny considering I have doubleflipped a 5. Keep up the
    good work, I know you can land the 8.

  9. Way to nail that seven set, Terry. You're going to be giving Kevin
    McMullin a run for his money soon. You're getting better than me. That
    annoys me. I'll have to send some thugs down there to deliver a
    "message" to you.

  13. Careful what you call it, lucky seven is a popular brand of cigarettes
    in Japan, aswell as a fictional terrorist group in the movie Battle
    Royale 2. But seriously I just wanted to give the people who hate Koxx
    unis because they are named after strains of MJ seeds.

    Good job on the stairs, I would advise getting a bit better at your
    rolling hops though, because from your video we can see that you aren't
    really jumping so much as rolling off them enough to clear them. For
    anything 6 stairs or above it will be alot harder to roll them, and you
    are putting yourself at speeds that become pretty dangerous with that
    level of a drop, I would advise putting much more jump into it and
    going for it a bit more slowly.

    Too bad about your pedals, what kind were they?

    edit: Wow those all seem almost like non sequitors to me...

  14. Yeah I noticed that too, how you dont really jump. Im telling you if you
    start to jump higher you'll be able to get 2+ stairs fairly easy.

    Yeah I hear ya. I usually get a bit more height on my rolling hops, but
    my ankle was hurting so I couldn't compress and jump *up* as much.
    Maybe 2-3 more inches *up* is all I really would have needed, and I
    would have been fine. I plan to go back and nail it soon, and I also
    have my eye on a killer 8-set! This one is HIGH and SCARY, but that
    won't stop me!😎🙂:p😄

    ntappin said:

    Yeah they are those super thin Atom Lab "Aircorp" pedals with bushings
    instead of bearings. I came to LOVE these pedals as I felt very stable
    on them and so on, until the left pedal slipped right off the
    spindle...twice! It has a little retaining clip and apparently when I
    took the pedals apart to clean and re-grease them, I weakened the
    clip(s) while reinstalling them. So today I squeezed them down really
    good and they seem good to go. a pic of the pedals is below:

    I have to disagree. I do indeed "jump" when I get to the launch point. I
    stop pedalling and push off, with my pedals parallel and stationary.
    Yeah my speed helps me buy if I didn't push up and out at all I
    wouldn't even clear 3 stairs. But yeah, if you go back and look at the
    6-set on down to the 4-set, you can plainly see that yes, I do
    definitley jump and roll-hop off the sets. I agree though that going
    too fast on the 7-set didn't give me enough "time" to compress and jump
    up at the last second. I will need to slow down and jump more. Thanks
    for all the help!🙂

    PS: Miles had some interesting advice for me. He said to help me get
    more height, I should try to "tire grab" just after launching! I guess
    this would "force" me to go higher and get the wheel out in front of me
    more. I'll have to try that!

    That is a great piece of advice, I was actualy trying to think of a way
    to describe that position, it really does add alot more height to your
    jump. Another way to look at it is almost like you are trying to jump
    up a stair for every four you are going down (rounding up). So if you
    are going down an 7 set you want to try and jump about as high as a
    small two set.
