my legs are too short so i have to go one by one T_T
but if i want to stretch my muscles a bit i go two at a time....going up that is.
I always skip stairs.
I like to move fast.
Plus, I mean, cardio? Anybody?
Going down stairs three at a time is quite fun if it's a long set, but the best is jumping each entire flight in a block of flats. Utterly silly, and yet rather fun. And I'm too used to going up two at a time, so my cadence goes all weird when the steps are really wide =S
I like grabbing onto the handrails and just going down the entire flight in two steps. 8-)
If I'm in a hurry, I'll skip every other one.
I'm never in a hurry. *nods*
I don't usually trust myself to take more than one at a time. I've tripped more than once. :shifty: But if I am in a hurry, then I'll risk it. I was late for a ballet not too long ago and I was running up stairs in horrible shoes. No tripping that time, though.
I usually skip steps when going up if only to go up faster, and when going down I go one by one but at running speed. Yes I have a fast pace :moomba:
A very random question, but now that I think on it, yes, I do take the stairs two at a time. Not going down though, might trip and fall with my luck.
I do double when walking and triples when running. Singles are for slow people.
I do three at a time usually.
I do two when I'm impatient or running, and three when I'm impatient and runnning.
I typically take two at a time, unless I'm especially worn out or something.
I take two whether going up or down. I think it's just a habit.
I take two or three at a time going up, and jump the last few on the way down.
Going up, two at a time mostly. Going down, I'll skip the last one to three. Sometimes jump the last four or five, but not as often as I used to. :p
I generally take stairs on two at a time, except on the escalators on the tube since they're about twice the size of a normal step anyway.
I go up in groups of 2 or 3. Whilst going down I try to take one at a time, or two and hold onto the handrail, it just seems more sensible
2-3, always.
I can skip steps going up or downQuote:

I dunno how any of you people can take even two at a time! How are your legs long enough for that?! :p
I can only do one at a time, that's all my legs can reach.
I usually take two at a time going up. Taking one at a time is boring and it makes me feel slow. When coming down I take two less often (tripped, fallen one too many times :p) but I always always jump the last step or three; no use for them.
I skip one when heading up the stairs, but I usaully hit every step while going down, jumping sometimes from the fourth step. If I'm in a rush, I'll jump up and down stairs three at a time.
I skip every other step, only when I'm going up stairs. When I'm going down, it feels to awkward for me to skip steps, so I just take one at a time. I dunno, skipping steps when you're going up is faster, and sometimes sort of funner. xD
I usually run up and down stairs, two steps at a time. I've found that placing my feet sideways makes it easier to run down stairs. It gives me more stability and precision.
Skipping steps on stairs is also known as taking the elevator.
I take one at a time, but if I am late for something or in a hurry, ill skip 2 going up, and going down....just jump
I skip stairs in public places but not at home.
I skip steps and jump down stairs all the time. :D
Going up: 2 at a time or 3 at a time
Going down: Skip Final 3-4 steps
Same here, Rye...same here.... ._.Quote:

and its literally a race to be first at the lunch line so I jump down through the middle of the entire stairs if I'm hungry...I also intimidate people with my destructive nature/behavoir/deMEANor
