Has anyone tried out this Tactical Surfing?

The other day out in the wild of Social Media the Russian Systema Serbia was showing off their tactical prowess by surfing down a staircase which caught lots of attention.
Well, Mike the Cop on Facebook who always likes to try out new things, decides he wants to see how hard is it to do this tactical surfing and see if its worth doing.

What he finds out is that its easy to learn to do but reality is that it hurts (like hell) when you try to surf this tactical style down a staircase.
He may have done better if he'd lubed himself up with some slippery jell. I still can't think of a tactical reason to be doing this, it definitely isn't a hard entry nor a soft one. See Mike the Cop tries out this tactical surfing on video here.

Do it on a piece of carpet. I actually move furniture that way, all on a piece of carpet. Works like a charm and the kids get to play also.

From the title I thought this was about “Skeet Surfing”.

“This beach is safe to surf!”

“Get out of the line of fire” is a tactical reason to surf down stairs. Most of the surfers have their attention on whatever it is they are escaping - to successfully navigate steps in a hurry (under hostile fire) you have to watch your step or jump

Silly thing to practice.

If you want to come down stairs in an “effective shooting position” sit in a cardboard box and add some speed to your entrance.

Carpeted stairs and a Tyvek suit would speed things up.

No, because I like having front facing body parts attached. I solve the issue of attackers and stairs by not having any stairs in my home.

/Seriously, that looks painful, to me at 48 years old. If your belt (as a native Texan, we’re obligated to wear the dinner plate sized buckles, don’t ya know?) gets caught, you’d dead anyway.
