Sorry flibo, wrong.
airtime always equal 100. Lets say you do 6strafe with 25airtime on first and barely 10airtime on last two. You have to do last two bigger, wich wil lower your airtime on first strafe since something else is taking up airtime...
anyone gets it? haha

I get your idea, but it isn't very correct. Doing 2 last strafes bigger (not wider, but longer in time) doesn't mean your first strafe is affected at all. You could "cut" the airtime from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strafes and the first strafe is still exactly the same. As a jump's airtime is always constant regardless of how many strafes or how big strafes you make, a strafe's airtime is directly proportional to how long you keep doing the strafe. Once you stop doing your first strafe, you can no more affect how big it is. The idea you had is more like the result of making a smaller first strafe and not the reason why the first strafe is smaller. Since your first strafe is smaller you have more time for the last strafes or even time for an extra strafe.

So I'm still right :rtfm: Any objections?

Yes.
ofc first strafe would be affected if your last 2 strafes are bigger with more airtime, since it's only equal to 100 and not more. This will affect your first strafe.
Get me right though. I also meant that the first strafe should be cut down and i also meant other strafes should be bigger/wider/whateverbetter.

I wont accept you right, but i can accept both have right haha ;>
