  1. so we all know how these competitions work by now, and i don't have to
    explain what you have to do because it's in the title.

    this thread is obviously exlusive of myself, i'm looking to push a
    little old school out of some new guys, i don't see anything bigger
    than 6 sets anymore...

    i know i'm pushing the envelope for a lot of riders, i'll let 9 and 11
    sets count because i know that not everyone has a "10 set" sitting in
    thier backyard.

    rules: contest can be won by a person who has rolling hopped a
    stairset, but is doing the stairset by sidehopping (good luck, its
    scary on monster stairsets)

    otherwise, stairs must be cleared all at once, clipping of the last
    stair is allowed so long as the rider stays on the unicycle, also, the
    jump must be ridden out on film, no short cutting the shot to disguise
    bails.

    helmets are not required, but VERY STRONGLY suggested.

    trophy:<^>10STAIR!!!!<^>

    edit: stairs must be somewhat average sized.

    just remember to work up to it, i do not suggest going from a 6 set to
    a 10 set.
    and btw, it takes a 5-6 foot rolling hop to get you over a 10 set.

    one more thing, first place has until july 15 to be claimed. i'll make
    2nd and 3rd place trophies as needed.

  5. lol I'm in. But the chances of me finding a 10 set are less than the
    chances of me jumping it.

    Side hop with a 90 to front so you can roll out is what you mean I'm
    sure.

  8. maybe, sometime this summer...

    how about giving some dimensions of a 10 stair so that if someone feels
    that their 8 set has pretty big steps they can see how it matches up
    against your 10 stair. I'll probably be able to find one though.

  9. Can I be in for 11 and higher ? I already did 10 rolling and I really
    don't feel for side hopping it ! 🙄 I've got an 11 and 13 I
    could do.

    It's been like 5 months I showed him the 11 and he hasn't been pumped
    enough to do it since then. (Even if he could clear it easely) So I
    doubt he'll try the 13.

  12. Dang! I know this doesn't count since it's not a 10er, but is this the
    basic idea of how you want the side hop done? Skrobo? I know the winner
    will need to have it on *video*, and this is too. These are the frames
    from it.

    Btw, this is the biggest set I've side hopped yet! 5 had been my
    previous best, but now I think I'm gonna try side hopping that pesky 8
    set soon! 🙂

    Well, in the very unlikely even that I even try to grind a hand rail,
    it'll be on a short (3 stair max) *one piece* rail that's shaped like
    an upside down, -elongated- "U". Last thing I'd want is to get tangled
    up in the verticle bars under that rail!:eek:

    'Course, you youngins could prolly do this one with ease!:p

    We never went there again since then...

    I know I can do both the 11 and the 13, and I'm sure next time we go to
    the 11 I'll try it, because you know, I've changed🙄 I mean,
    I'm much more confidant when trying anything now.

    Do the sport a favour.
    Make it so that people won't even think about not wearing one.
    Make it a requirement of your competitions.
    By the time unicycling cracks it as an Olympic sport it will be a
    requirement anyway, I'm not going to waste your time with the common
    sense reasons why now.
