here's a pic of a stair gap i hit on the weekend i think its like 15stairs to 15 stairs or sumthing. enjoy http://www.pinkbike.com/modules/photo/?op=view&image=99899
nice work. wot made it better was the 50 or so people watching ya :D there was this boat show on at that centre and so lots of people stoped to see what we were doin. a few claps here and there :) and some loosers askin if we have private health cover *rolleyes*
in real life its heeps taller. the fisheye lens makes the edges of the frame squashed down, it distorts the image so u can get heeps more action in the frame. so yeh it looks a little low in the pic but its higher in real
did you make it to the second set? you seem really low in that pic

sweeet!
speaking of security... When shmity hit the gap at federation square on the earlier city ride there was this guy who owned a restaurant talkin to us and sayin how cool it was. One security guy was watching from a distance and dint do anything then this other one came up and told us to get out :lol:

fastrider_ben and duncan^kona;
stop giving other people shit, if you are so god damn perfect why don't you show us how it's done. A little support and respect would be appreciated in these forums.
think he would have told us if he cased it.
With a dually like that he would have/should have been able to set the back wheel down on the flat without tooooo many problems....then again i know jack shit. :P

Like i already said i landed on the top step so i was close to casing it. as for the full face i'd rather have a chin at the end of the day than look cool cause i kno chiks dont dig deformities. And we wern't streetin all day we just went into the city to hit that gap. post up some of ure big shit or other wise hows shuttin ure mouth sound?
who gives a shit if he was wearing a full face in the city anyway? even if he didnt go for a ride before hand
once again top work man
accidental double post....read below

the Adelaide boat show was on. the RC boats on the river had just finished, and so everyone was leaving and they came up the stairs from the river and then we were there looking at this stairset. so some stayed and watched :D it was soooo cool with about 50 people watching :D.....pitty i didnt have a front brake :( u gotta slam on ur brakes as soon as u reach the bottom. if u dont u hit this glass wall about bar height, then get flung over and land about 10-15foot below :!:
so i guess the guards couldnt hear/see us from where ever they were coz of all the people, or they were just busy somewhere else kicking skaters out or somethin??

thats a nice gap now i think u should set the goal of dropping off that wall in the background onto that second set of stairs now that would look good
i know your agreeing with whatever the hell i said all that time ago but please dont grave dig its farkin annoying and what makes it worse, it was a double posted grave dig :roll:

nice
i think ricky was talking bout the one near the hexagons in civic....
Oh and to all you melbourners, do people hit up the real big stair gap on the other side of federation square...its a real huge flight of stairs that finishes a bit over to the right of the 'information' glass building thing.
I went on a skool trip to melbourne earlier this year and i was eyeing off that gap wishing i had my DH bike and a fullface along with me.
