I take back the remark that your photo may have been a shot of you riding backwards downstairs. VERY IMPRESSIVE!! Question: How essential is that big fat Larry in riding up those stairs? Do you think it is doable on a 29er or 36?

I think it probably helps due to the high volume of the Larry, but it should be doable on most high volume tires, including the Duro. Getting the technique down is the hardest part. There are so many variables that can mess you up. I found a set of over 100 stairs this morning, and I'm going to see how many I can ride up! I'm going tomorrow to try! And also for the first time in my 6+ years of riding, I'm discovering how much fun aerials are! Learning them will hopefully help me in my quest to land a 3 spin!

100 stairs - YIKES! Keep us posted on this new venture of riding up.

During a city ride some years ago, a group of tens of unicyclists found a set of stairs (in the Dutch city of Heerlen) that varied in step height. It went shallower to one side, petering out to really nothing, and "normal" steps on the other side. Perfect for practicing riding up (and down, for that matter). Once you got the feel, you could advance to a steeper area of the stair set. Terry's set looks not so steep either, maybe about midway of our special set which quite a few of us rode up. The pic is a video still of myself.

Edit: in the video (which I hadn't seen when posting this) Terry's stair set is probably steeper than ours, at least in the place where I rode it up in the pic.

The 100 mile Louisville Loop (99% funded, 30% built) is coming along! I found a couple kilometers of freshly laid asphalt at William F. Miles park. The stretch in the picture runs along the river but the really interesting portion was further up where they tackled a massive hill with a winding motion that made the elevation gain down right manageable. Good workout going up and great fun riding down in 1.5 gear.

Found a new stair set to ride up! This one was steeper and higher than the set I did last week, and to make it even more challenging, the run up was short and UPhill! (looks longer than it is. I barely got 4 revs on my 36er before the first stair)

In the first video I rode up 5 out of 6 stairs. This time I managed 8 on my Oregon, and 5 on my 36er! The 36er is much harder due to the non-high volume tire, size, and additional weight. Here are some stills from the upcoming video:

There was a member on here a few years ago posting under the name "HardcoreCokerRider". One of his party tricks was to ride up stairs at speed on his 36er. I think there were some videos posted - probably worth a search. He was pretty good at skatepark stuff as well, bit like turtle is doing now on his 26er.

Nice looking trail - bit far for me to come though sadly

Perhaps one day I'll make it over to the US...
