3-Step Approaches

I ran into this recently and was pretty impressed. Looking at his videos, he has this awful looking approach, but pretty damn good vertical.

I wonder why hasn´t he prolongued his approach.

Could be that once he gets past 7 steps, he doesn’t get any higher. He’s got this ugly swerve in the approach that probably doesn’t help for longer approaches.
