My obsession with steepslides has begun when I saw Gorbachev_x 's video of him landing 1900 steepslide with lj pre. I have already landed 1850 at the time and I liked the idea of being a second ever person to do something so I made a couple of maps for myself and started grinding. In a span of 2 days I landed every steep going from 1875 to 1925 in 5 units increments. Last of which took me more than 300 minutes. Meanwhile I was trying to push my time on kz-endo_slide_svn_steep_x to the limits just like with the steep distance. With each new personal best I would spam my Steam friends, including blackelf . After my 6:19 run he messaged me that he would make a movie for me if I get a sub 4 minutes run. We both took it as a joke because it was really outlandish and not thought to be possible for me. Eventually, it happened after 15+ sub 5 minutes runs, 3:30, more than 2x quicker than the previous wr holder, Gorbachev_x . Student surpassed his idol, pretty cool, isn't it? I didn't really think that steeps would appeal to anyone but blackelf persuaded me so I tried my best with showing what is possible with this technique. A couple of times I had a 400 minutes uptime on my lan grinding with no major breaks. 1950 is the best of all three, with a frame perfect duck at the end. 2020 is solid, I would stop earlier but 2020 in 2020 is just dank. 2075? The easiest one to improve, it is actually really hard to get on a steep correctly with ladderbhop and 299 pre for some reasons. Also I almost completely forgot about the 252 "kkz" jump, it either wasn't as hard as I thought or I just got lucky. And these are all insights that I am going to write there, have fun watching.
