UniGeezer: "Crazy 8!" (8 stair!)

MuniAddict · 2008-01-06, 04:31 AM

I've been wanting to try this 8 set for soooo long, but I just kept chickening out; Today I *finally* faced my fear and went for it!

(Gotta wait 'till the end haha!) Thanks to John Long (Vivalargo) for his encouragement!

It's a full, standard 8 stair, not short steps or low. Before this the most I've ever fully cleared was a 6 set, so I'm really psyched! There's a few other fun things leading up to it, including some Coker drops and a couple of 5 foot drops... to FLAT!

(Sorry Kris!)

Hope you enjoy and would love to read your coments. Watch past the creds for some fun extras!

haha. For some reason that Van Halen tune just seemed to fit! I wanted high energy. I know it's not everybody's cuo 'o' tea, but, oh well.

cool. When you clear sets it looks like you just ride really fast off of them, i bet if you did a big rolling hop off you could clear even bigger sets.

Yeah I'm working on getting more height, but I actually hit that 8 set with less speed than I had on a lesser 6 set, so I couldn't rely on speed alone to clear it. And I cleared it with room to spare. I guess the way I see it, at least I went for it and cleared it, and for and old fart like me, that's not too shabby lol!

Well you're getting a much earlier start than me so you'll be way better when you're my age!
