Linked in a thread on Tommy Sandoval's frontside flip down the 20 as background on what has gone down at the stair. Also a first for the series, with the interview done at the spot.

I actually have a problem with the methodology they used to calculate the length of this set in this video. Please correct me if I'm wrong. They added a step to the length when calculating the length of this set. If each step is 11" x 19 stairs (you don't count the top stair when calculating length). **This set is actually 209 in = 17' 5" long.** **They even say, they are multiplying by 20 only because "it would be impossible to land that close"** or something... it's about 4min 10 sec into the video: [VIDEO] Now, I'm not sure how accurate **any** of the numbers are for sure, but if they did add an arbitrary 11" to this measurement and this was not done for El Toro... The real comparison would be: * **El Toro = 9'6" high and 19' long** * **Skyline = 9'9" high and 17'5" long** **...** NOTE: I watched the Dern Brothers video from El Toro and sadly they did not measure the set.
