    to much room when I do 5 though.

  10. I hit a sorta large 7 in Memphis. It was scary, but pretty easy when I
    finally went for it. I don't have a whole lot of desire to try it or
    anything higher again, it just wasn't that great.

  14. i think its better to do less stairs but throw in tricks while your are
    doing it. Kinda like drops, after a point it just becomes silly and
    doesn't show any more skill and it just gets rediculously dangerous.

    I would disagree, it actualy does take more skill to do larger stair
    sets. After about a 6 set you actualy have to start throwing your body
    forward and learning to do a longer jump. I can rolling hop 6 sets
    without even trying to jump forward but at about 8 if I don't get my
    form right and I don't actualy jump forward enough I will end up
    clipping the last stair. I am also using 110mm cranks which should give
    me an advantage jumping stairs (more speed) and I don't weigh much
    meaning I shouldn't fall as fast, yet if I don't get good form on some
    8 sets I won't make it. Also in landing you have to be able to land
    well so that you don't hurt yourself or stop dead (which tends to hurt
    aswell). When I started jumping more than a 5 (actualy the 7 set was my
    worst injury) I was really hurting my archs. I would slam down on my
    feet so hard that it would actualy bruise the foot. Now I have learned
    to land in a way that I can pedal out properly and my feet really don't
    take much abuse at all. Actualy now that I think about it the landing
    thing isn't really that big a difference between drops and stairs but
    the distance part is as the longer you are in the air the faster you
    fall meaning on bigger stair sets you will end up falling faster by the
    end of it.

    This is why I'm afraid to try ten sets before doing a 9 (which seem
    really hard to find for some reason), I don't mind clipping one step
    but the second I clip two it really throws me off and I could see it
    getting rather ugly.
