Yeah, I am, without sarcasm, super agile and coordinated. I would love to have these steps. It would be fun for me every time. And I'd feel so safe at the top of my tricky stairs. Unfortunately my wife would never. She'd just be trapped downstairs.

I run 6 miles every other day. A local rails-to-trails path near me is exactly 2.5 miles long, so I have to find some way of getting in an extra mile on my runs. The trail ends at a real railroad track, so for a while I tried running a half mile on the track and back, between the rails landing on every other tie as I ran since the distance perfectly matched my stride. This went on for a couple of years until one day I was doing it and actually started thinking "wow, this is pretty amazing that I can do this and not fall". Not five seconds later I tripped and fell, landing both elbows and both knees on tie.

Somehow I was only bruised and didn't break anything, and after ten minutes of groaning I was able to drag myself up and even complete my run. That was my last time running on railroad ties though.

You should try the Oahu Diamond Head hike then. Its like a half mile of hiking up a funicular track.

Yeah, never take it for granted. You gotta do it on purpose with your feet every time. Learning to purposely activate intuitive motion is the goal. In a way, they're extraordinarily zen stairs. You have to be right there on the stairs every time.

"My wife" aka the lady you brought down before the drugs wore off who can never leave your basement.

:P

Psh. The drugs never wear off. She smokes weed all day every day.

Perfect stairs to your man cave 🙂

Except I'm not a man, and I don't have a cave. I'm a woman, and I have a cage. But it has to be accessible to my wife so she can let me out eventually o_o So again, no agility stairs allowed.

Sorry, I somehow failed to notice the [she/her]. Didn't mean to offend.

Oh you're good. I actually put it in there after seeing your post. You and the Hexbears inspired me.
