How far apart did you place your steps ?

I'm going to modify a set of Heliums and I'm 6-5. What distance did you space your steps when you did yours ?
Thanks

I have not modified, but I'm 5'11" and use beast sticks which are 22 inches apart. It is a bit difficult when I've got heavy clothes on. I'd guess most do between 18 and 22 inches. 20 is probably the sweet spot. But everything depends on your height / reach.

16 inches

17 for me

6-3 here and I make mine 20” apart

Usually bottom of foot to top of knee is a safe bet. I use an aider and I’m about to try naider and swaider. So I’d guess chin or forehead for that.

How high can you comfortable raise your leg when all geared up and boots on? That minus a couple inches...

30” just remove the middle step. WALA!

This is the most accurate.

With helium’s it’s almost as much about where you can put the holes. Investigate that before to get to attached to a specific distance.

I'm 6 ft but when I used xop sticks I routinely skipped the middle step and went the full 30 inches from bottom to top step. Wasn't to bad, especially early in the season. On hawk heliums I modified them to 20" and now I have some 22" inch beast sticks and I like them the best right now.
