How many stairs can you clear, UP (not down!), in ONE hop?

OK people, please vote again even if you voted in the last one. Read carefully. We're talking about jumping up stairs in one hop.

Im at about 2 up in ONE hop. Im getting good at doing several stairs in a row. Going down I just bounce off one, then the next, and keep going... Sometimes I bounce in place a bit. Stairs are great pratice for hopping, no doubt.

Hopping is cheating. Real men roll up stairs.

Steps vary in height and width. I have made three once but can almost always make two. Needless to say the three set I did was comprised of comparatively short and narrow steps.

Pretty much any 3. A lot of 4's. It is hugely dependant on the stairs though.
