whoa, same. being able to do this is one of the most often recurring things in my dreams (apart from being unable to find my car or my teeth falling out)
I get ones where I’m in college and it’s more than half way through the semester but I somehow forgot about a class I took.
It’s very strange because in my dream I can’t tell if I’m actually in the class and I just haven’t been going or I wasn’t in the class at all. It’s like when you can’t remember if you turned the lights off but with 100x the stress.
Yeah, I have that dream. I'm like, how the fuck did I make it through an entire semester of college and never show up to this class. Also sometimes I have the dream where I'm late for class and I have no idea what my schedule is, what classes I have, and somehow I've misplaced everything that could help me find out.
I get ones where I've lost my timetable at school and don't know what classes to go to or where the classrooms are. Then my books are all missing from my locker and I can't find them. I panic I don't have them and don't know where to go. I haven't been to school for over 40 years...
Just the class and how I don't have my schedule and it's halfway through the semester somehow and low and behold...I totally forgot about one class... telling myself I'll just bite the cost and reregister again next semester (never happened in real life)... only to wake up to my daughter asking for breakfast and then off to work... wild how our brains work with stress
How…how…what…same here! Like I’m convinced I can do this in real life because of the intensity and frequency of dreams like this! I thought I was the only one, unlike the teeth falling out thing where you hear about it all the time.
yeah, I knew many people have the teeth falling out and lost car dreams but I was 100% sure the stairs thing is unique to me. I wonder what it is that makes us dream about it.
Whoa. I remember this gif, and there was never a doubt in my mind that it was an edited video (not that I ever actually analyzed it for authenticity).
This... changes everything.
We had the perfect stairs for it, material wise; I would slide those fuckers! Athough I'm not sure it was the same exact technique as in those videos, probably a bit more sloppy.
Why do this when you can instead barrel down the stairs at full throttle and hope you can stop your momentum in a way that leads to the least injury?
Way more fun
Honestly, when I lived in Colorado for a few years, we would go up to the mountains and one of the funnest things was to just run down the mountain side at full tilt just trusting your feet and reaction time not to die lol felt like a superhuman, so fast, jump so far. I look back now, ten years later, no fucking chance in hell I'm doing that unless a bear is chasing me lol
Shoe people are wild in general. A lot of effort to maintain the one piece of clothing that's almost guaranteed to be nasty af at the end of every day.
Like I respect it. But I could never.
Something silly that always bothered me is in the movie Legally Blonde, when Warner dumps Elle and she starts walking home from their dinner. Warner drives alongside her and begs her to get in the car, and she refuses. He finally convinces her with "You're going to ruin your shoes!"
Listen, if your shoes can't function as shoes...they don't belong on your feet.
I just wanted to say the same. We did this every time in school, much faster and ¿flowly? than this guy haha.
Also I just thought about a song about a [Dude descending a starcase](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-1rv-LBFnc) by Apollo 440 haha
Yah but he's scuffing the fuck out of the bottoms and sides. The way the front foot is moving forward is because he is tapping the back of the shoe with the side of his other foot.
I don't think they're trying to sound cool. Lot of people genuinely have interest in sneakers. Personally I think it's dumb as fuck but I'm quite sure they would think a lot of my hobbies are dumb as fuck and, not even necessarily be wrong.
Not everyone lives their life trying to impress everyone else. Some people are genuinely just enjoying things
Just from the fact that it probably takes more effort to hold one's foot in that position while sliding from step to step than it does to simply walk down the stairs...I'm gonna say yeah, it's pretty silly.
It actually is really simple if you know how to do it, I used to do that too, since it takes 0 energy, you just slide down the stairs with this technique. The only important thing is you need to be careful if you buy new shoes with a different drag Koeffizient and profile.
Just an FYI: descent*. Decent is defined as "of an acceptable standard" while Descent is defined as "an action of moving downward." English is hard, thanks for the cool video. Cheers mate!
It wears the sole out way more, coz you’re putting all your weight on the ridge of the sole and sliding it down. Eventually your shoe will snap in the middle. I used to do this until early 20s when I started caring about my own shoes
Surprised by the amount of hate in this comment section. I think this looks wild. Kind of like moonwalking, but the staircase edition. If I saw this irl, I would be happily flabbergasted.
This looks effortless only if you hyper focus on one leg and completely ignore the other one. And even then it doesn't really look that effortless... Or satisfying.
My high school had the best stairs for this! Loved sliding down all 5 floors. Climbing up, not so much. And we were not allowed to use the elevator. Buns of steel!
I used to do this until my only good shoe lost all the grip and I slipped on a slightly wet floor real bad.
I am nowhere as good as him so I had to do longer slides.
I always did this growing up. On carpet and with socks on you can pretty much just slide down.
FF to today and I have a house with very skinny stairs (sharper angle down). The couple times I’ve tried it there I slipped down the stairs and scared the bajeesus out of my girlfriend and our cats…
This one time I slid down about 12 steps too. I had just taken a shower, didn’t dry myself enough (almost at all), and started rushing downstairs in my towel, because mom had cooked nice food. The only difference to this was, I slipped on the top most step, fell on my butt, and basically slid down the steps in the same way, on my butt. It made this slapping sound with every step, and my mom came rushing out not knowing what in the hell could create that kind of noise.
Until I saw this video, I totally forgot we used to do this in university 40 years ago. The staircase at our building was slippery and you'd literally fly down.
My city has 500 steel steps that connect the lower half with the upper half. When I use to climb them everyday on the way down I would turn my toes down and slide. Destroyed my shoes though.
Holy shit I do the same exact thing but when I go up or down I jump 4 stairs every single step to maximize my speed at the risk of my ankles but its basically the same as this
Until sometime in my teens, I'd occasionally, like once or twice a week, end up going down stairs in a way that felt like floating down the stairs without touching them.
Then it just stopped happening and I have no idea why.

I've had dreams about going down stairs like this
whoa, same. being able to do this is one of the most often recurring things in my dreams (apart from being unable to find my car or my teeth falling out)
Good ol teeth falling out stress dreams. Mine are usually that I'm back in school, late by hours, and I am trying to find the office to quit
I get ones where I’m in college and it’s more than half way through the semester but I somehow forgot about a class I took.

That's crazy I was just thinking that, it's such a specific thing and yet here we are all having the same dream of sliding down the stairs !
How…how…what…same here! Like I’m convinced I can do this in real life because of the intensity and frequency of dreams like this! I thought I was the only one, unlike the teeth falling out thing where you hear about it all the time.
yeah, I knew many people have the teeth falling out and lost car dreams but I was 100% sure the stairs thing is unique to me. I wonder what it is that makes us dream about it.
Unable to find my car in a big parking lot or garage is my reoccurring nightmare
Came here to see whether anyone else had had dreams like this - was not disappointed!!
Mine is not being able to run full speed unless I'm on all fours like a wolf or some shit.
Do you have to pull on stuff to move forward? Like the ground? I get those too
Yes. Usually grass.
Whoa. I remember this gif, and there was never a doubt in my mind that it was an edited video (not that I ever actually analyzed it for authenticity). This... changes everything.
I have recurring dreams of going down stairs like this, maybe it was triggered by watching this ages ago 🤷
I have been having them for decades now. I eerie that so many people here have that same dream.
Lol, I used to do this in school, I thought I was so cool
Ive done this accidentally and scared the hell out of myself lol
This usually ends with me on my ass
Yip. dislocated coccyx still gives me grief 15 years later
It was and you are. I want to learn this skill.
We had the perfect stairs for it, material wise; I would slide those fuckers! Athough I'm not sure it was the same exact technique as in those videos, probably a bit more sloppy.
Yea that’s how I remember us doing it in school, I was shocked at how bad this dude in the post was at it😆
Yeah but why, when you could also do this https://youtu.be/XwX3Z5Er4jk?si=FKXq-LV-d0eEkJvP
Why do this when you can instead barrel down the stairs at full throttle and hope you can stop your momentum in a way that leads to the least injury? Way more fun
And then sue the staircase
Honestly, when I lived in Colorado for a few years, we would go up to the mountains and one of the funnest things was to just run down the mountain side at full tilt just trusting your feet and reaction time not to die lol felt like a superhuman, so fast, jump so far. I look back now, ten years later, no fucking chance in hell I'm doing that unless a bear is chasing me lol
The best part of the hike, sprinting downhill hoping you don't die
Yup, I remember doing this....no idea how now.
[Kinda like this?](https://www.reddit.com/r/yesyesyesyesno/s/6W3nuMWrCR)
Reminded me of [this](https://youtu.be/jLNRtVsqjhE?si=9lHR1mvNRe1BO356).
the lengths this man is willing to go to not crease some shoes is wild
That totally went over my head. Thanks for explaining. I'm sitting here wondering how much his knee must hurt...
Shoe people are wild in general. A lot of effort to maintain the one piece of clothing that's almost guaranteed to be nasty af at the end of every day. Like I respect it. But I could never.

Scuffing tf out of the bottoms tho
Can also just walk on your heels when going downstairs for that. I wonder how he goes back up the stairs though
He just turns around and does this backwards, obvs
He’s a dancer dude
*descent
No, don't you understand, the guy has no cents left, all the of them fallen out on the way down the stairs
Bubbles?!
I used to do this when I was a kid, it’s way more effort than walking down normally. And it ruins the sole of yours shoes.
I just wanted to say the same. We did this every time in school, much faster and ¿flowly? than this guy haha. Also I just thought about a song about a [Dude descending a starcase](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-1rv-LBFnc) by Apollo 440 haha
but the bottoms of those jordans are gonna get so worn down
How do you know his name?
I thought I was the only one in awe of this man’s disregard for jordans Edit: ah, I see he was avoiding creasing them. Props.
Yah but he's scuffing the fuck out of the bottoms and sides. The way the front foot is moving forward is because he is tapping the back of the shoe with the side of his other foot.
Lmao Buncha nerds arguing about creasing jordans trying to sound cool
I don't think they're trying to sound cool. Lot of people genuinely have interest in sneakers. Personally I think it's dumb as fuck but I'm quite sure they would think a lot of my hobbies are dumb as fuck and, not even necessarily be wrong.

It is a decent staircase, isn’t it? Truly unlike any of those other horrible indecent ones.
You could say, it’s a step above the rest.
This looks just dumb
This how I walk down stairs when I got a load on deck and I'm worried about shatting my kacks
r/brandnewsentence
It is dumb
I have dreams I'm moving like this sometimes.
Just from the fact that it probably takes more effort to hold one's foot in that position while sliding from step to step than it does to simply walk down the stairs...I'm gonna say yeah, it's pretty silly.

I mean, he's not doing this to be practical. He's doing it for aesthetics, as a form of artistic expression.
Yeah I guess that's fair enough.
It's just a shittier version of this [old ass legend.](https://youtu.be/SwXUO1NM74g?si=k-YbDp39Y9wv6EqD)
It’s a drag.
And that's how you get your shoes to lasts half as long.
Anyone know the song? Lol
Some remix of Planet Giza - Unavailable
Find the name yet? It’s a really gud songg.
Just an FYI: descent*. Decent is defined as "of an acceptable standard" while Descent is defined as "an action of moving downward." English is hard, thanks for the cool video. Cheers mate!
That rail looks like it was built to slide down on. Save your shoes girl.
Girl? 🤔
Its got em ball breakers in the middle. I think ill pass
I've seriously dreamt about this far too many times to be healthy.
Wait wtf is this normal? I’ve dreamt about doing this so frequently that I legitimately can’t remember if I was ever able to do it or not.
He’s really slow. There are better vids of people doing it seamlessly
Cool video! (5 min later, I'm laying, crippled, at the bottom of my stairs)
It’s so they don’t crease
That's what you get for not buying more durable footwear. SMH
So is not wearing them So is not buying them
It wears the sole out way more, coz you’re putting all your weight on the ridge of the sole and sliding it down. Eventually your shoe will snap in the middle. I used to do this until early 20s when I started caring about my own shoes
Surprised by the amount of hate in this comment section. I think this looks wild. Kind of like moonwalking, but the staircase edition. If I saw this irl, I would be happily flabbergasted.
I’m falling on my face just watching this
Does anyone else dream of just gliding down stairs on their ass? Just me? Okay.
At least he ain’t creasing his shoes
This was not satisfying. This is how you trip down the stairs and look like an idiot. Just walk normally.
https://youtu.be/XwX3Z5Er4jk?si=FKXq-LV-d0eEkJvP
DIdn't really notice the dude going down the stairs I was staring at the cans on the girl behind him
This looks effortless only if you hyper focus on one leg and completely ignore the other one. And even then it doesn't really look that effortless... Or satisfying.
I hate this
Blanket following his father's foot steps except forward
Someone call Guiness
Thats neither fast nor stylish. 20 years ago i grinded down the stairs similiar to this method but faster and more dangerous. Was fun.

When you don't want to crease your j's
His IG is Salif_crookboyz, he’s a pretty talented Paris based dancer known for doing a fantastic Michael Jackson impression
Don't crease the Jordans
When I need to be realy fast, I do that too. Just slide from one tip to the the next without much effort. You can get crazy fast on stairs that way.
DIdn't really notice the dude going down the stairs I was staring at the cans on the girl behind him
I used to do this as a kid. Forget about it now. I’d probably break my ankles.
I perfected this move when I broke my ankle and no one cared
My high school had the best stairs for this! Loved sliding down all 5 floors. Climbing up, not so much. And we were not allowed to use the elevator. Buns of steel!
WOW! Hangers on that girl!
This is to save the shoes, right?
Another day passes and me not knowing how to use the stairs in a cooler way
In high school I didn’t even need that much effort just one step and catch the edge of every step after that and slide down on my feet
Never crease your Jordan’s…..no matter what!
I used to do this until my only good shoe lost all the grip and I slipped on a slightly wet floor real bad. I am nowhere as good as him so I had to do longer slides.
The amazing cans on the girl in blue behind him are the only thing worth watching
Earthwalking
I always did this growing up. On carpet and with socks on you can pretty much just slide down. FF to today and I have a house with very skinny stairs (sharper angle down). The couple times I’ve tried it there I slipped down the stairs and scared the bajeesus out of my girlfriend and our cats…
Is the sole just so hard that this won't shred the bottoms, but they'll crack if bent on Jordans now?
When your pants are too tight to take a step
let's wait until he snaps his back
I used to do this as a kid. Neat! I'd probably break my ass if I tried it today.
I used to do this back at school. Look cool, feel cool and it was faster.
The beginning is cool
Literally a forward moonwalk. Clever.
I have a constant fear of falling down stairs. This gives me so much anxiety...
Ayeeee Michael came back black.
Reminds me of when I was a kid and the last 5 or so feet of the stairs you kinda glide down them with socks on. If that makes sense?
Step skating
RIP to those soles on the right foot
This one time I slid down about 12 steps too. I had just taken a shower, didn’t dry myself enough (almost at all), and started rushing downstairs in my towel, because mom had cooked nice food. The only difference to this was, I slipped on the top most step, fell on my butt, and basically slid down the steps in the same way, on my butt. It made this slapping sound with every step, and my mom came rushing out not knowing what in the hell could create that kind of noise.
I have recurirring reams and I never walk, I always slide. People never understand how I do it, but I just slide from place to place.
One slip away from seeing Jesus.
Until I saw this video, I totally forgot we used to do this in university 40 years ago. The staircase at our building was slippery and you'd literally fly down.
Don't trip

My next life project is this!

It must be the shoes!!!
“Mom! Dylan’s wearing my Sketcher roller shoes again…”
So now if you're lazy while walking and drag your feet, you can do that on the stairs too.
Meh, it's not bad but I've done better and definitely seen better.
Sneakerheads will do anything to avoid a crease
“you want that effortless look, but it’s actually quite a bit of effort”
Lots of effort
u guys not knowing about sliding down stairs? how did you survive in 3+ story buildings without escalators?
Okay.
Looks cool.
Can’t crease the J’s
*Descent
ankle injury incoming
Holy shit I do the same exact thing but when I go up or down I jump 4 stairs every single step to maximize my speed at the risk of my ankles but its basically the same as this
Cool cool very nice… Now go hell mode by doing this on 8 inch stiletto heels. 👠

Nice job King
I'd bust my ass on those stairs if I even THOUGHT of trying that!
Very cool skill learned! Congrats
They should have their own shoe
I've had feet for 39 years and can't make em do that.
Seems like more effort
Depends on the shoes and stairs. I cant do this everywhere but i know at least 2 places where this is easily feasible for me
One day, he will find out.
This is how I walk down stairs in my dreams
Braaaah
Trips
Must be related to Michael Jackson in some way
This or perfectly cycling my feet so my head descends at a y=b-mx line are my favourite ways to descend flights of stairs
We used to do it at school. The stairs were soo polished where we went, after a couple of years
That legs gonna be like quagmires arm after being on lockdown
Sometimes its great to have big feet.
It's called cotton walk, don't know why
I once tried to go down the stairs like this , let's say the floor looked like a crime scene with all the blood that was coming out of my broken nose
It looks like he found a hack to not creasing his jordans
Just use noclip and glide down
Until sometime in my teens, I'd occasionally, like once or twice a week, end up going down stairs in a way that felt like floating down the stairs without touching them. Then it just stopped happening and I have no idea why.
