I might have tried that on my banana seat, high handle bar coaster when I was 10 and didn’t know better. 😂

I've raced on the Worlds courses at Bromont and Mte. Ste. Anne. Those places give you a different outlook on what's doable on a mountain bike.

We use to race down the stairs on the west side of the Skydome, but they're straight and it's basically a stones test to see who'll stay off the brakes the longest. They best technical set in the city is the Baldwin Steps - Casa Loma to Davenport Rd., hands down.

That where Lucas Lee met his demise (Scott Pilgrim...), at the end of the clip.

 
I know those steps. Used to walk my dog along the river down there.
They were difficult enough for walking let alone on a bike.

Sketchiest stairs I've ever ridden were the old ones going from York St. (the old road leading to the OG Queenston-Lewiston Bridge) to the access road to the water treatment plant at the Queenston Docks. The rise/run/angle on each step was vastly different and it was really tricky with them and the pivot turns at the midway landing.

Found this pic from a couple of years ago on the Dekerf Owners FB page (don't know how I missed it - I'm an admin along with Chris). I had no Idea Chris had built a 36er (his brazed forks are art).

That's why I rode down them. Sitting at the bottom watching my friends walk their bikes down them was some pedal-on-shin smackin' funny stuff. That, and the one upmanship with my buddy who's a better MX rider than me who refused to try it.
