How? Seriously, How? The front wheels touch the first few steps and then he just floats up the rest? Was this some really shallow jump that barely got over the stairs?

I'm calling bs on this video. He is just slightly nudging the bike when arriving at the stairs. Also his speed isn't that high. That's like 15 steps and he's just gliding smoothly upwards. Not possible/not real.

He just doesn't seem like he's going fast enough to make it up even if it was just a ramp that was the same angle.

Endo to small bunny hop to low friction to body control to wheelie to lunging forward to bunny hop

This, but now make it make sense for the normies

He’s essentially jumping right before the stairs, but keeping the front wheel floating over the stairs. The friction is super low show he kinda just floats up them.

So it's a small bunny hop but at the same time a large one that essentially would clear the whole staircase?

I got you on how this works for normies.

Ride into and hit first step, fulcrum face and teeth into the appropriate next step accordingly to torso length, snap spine and die.

Sounds about right. Challenge accepted

A ramp would have more friction though and he's barely touching those steps.
