The Basildon Steps

[Matt6128]

Props man, But 7 and a half minutes for one angle of the jump. A bit overkill really.

[TUCKER4CHEESE]

respect..this is quite a big jump..

[GreenGaslight]

[un1onjackbob]

MAD !!!!

[SonnnyyyScooott]

All of this just to jump steps.

[CharlieRussell03]

awesome m8!

[dsnrne]

how long ago did you do this? what year?

[DanNims1]

Just watched the video and am very pleased that you didn't get terribly injured from your quest. Each of us are driven to do things that are personally meaningful. For you to have carried the vision for so long and ultimately carried it out is tremendous. I say that even though it may be wiser to pursue less risky adventures.

It was good that you warned others about the hazards. My dream would have been to jump and fly. Earned a private pilot's license later in life. It was GOOD!

[SAda940]

thank you very much...but im no hero....and sadly im no body

[ejbrandon]

Wow..... you hero!?

[Phattsean94]

Ive witnessed my friend Darrel do this on his inlines many times, apparently it issnt all that hard. And i have witnessed my other friend matt do this stair set on a skateboard. aswell as random footage ive seen of scooters and bmxers doing it. So i don't understand why this is such a large deal

[HighSpeedRocker]

cos at a speed sean its easy, its the 16 steps of doom because of the distance you have to cover and slight bank you roll inyo

[Worldchamps1966]

Great stuff, shame you didnt publicise it, then you may have had lots of people there cheering you on, also that would have added to the pressure. Well done

[GarethWonfor]

What a nutter!!!!! : ))))))) cool stuff... i jumped some steps (much smaller) on my skates when i was younger..it feels good!

[pkray07]

spontaneous living ftw...if you have an idea, dont let fear get in the way of it. your a legend :D

[dageezerboi]

[livefreefreerun]

[theidealcopy]

Top geezer

[noshunnumber1]

I used to skate in basildon and we called those steps 'liberty' because of the old Liberty hall, now QD, i've fallen and rolled down them a few times. Have a couple firneds that used to jump them on skates, one would do spins. Brings back memories of 'stairriding'

[aaronskiaaronski]

[noshunnumber1]

@aaronskiaaronski dave.

[dmswannsw]

Great stuff. Nicely paced. I've not seen those steps since circa 1972. I was very young.
