IMO the Rolling Maruta shouldn't be underestimated. A small mistake and you're screwed, unless you manage to Tajima it. Heck, it took out Shingo once. Log grip: Easy if Mr. Octopus and Luci Romberg can do it. I wouldn't say so. Remember that Rich failed it, Jun Sato failed it once. And actually Octopus isn't all that weak (just ask Brett Sims, they had a friendly pullup competition in Kuramochi's restaurant). Also...what's with Luci? I don't think she's really weak. There have been a lot of strong guys who failed the Half Pipe Attack. Still, it's not a VERY hard obstacle, but I wouldn't underestimate it.

Not me...I said that I'd fail the second obstacle. But for the most part, you're right. Other than a few of us on here, most people think they'll go farther than they probably will. Well besides the people who say like dome steps or rolling log. Sorry to break it to ya guys, but from wht ive seen the only people who post/read the board who can pass stage 1 are: Oti David Keita Venom and on most days i can see Chris and Brian (Unclesam and Baron) beating stage 1 (log grip could take out both) Ouch, much? I'm pretty sure that my agility is about the same as (perhaps better than) Jun Sato's, having seen his ability in Parkour both in SASUKE, and (we think) in that youtube video I posted, and he's beaten Stage 1 twice. I'm pretty certain I wouldn't have a problem with it - the obstacles are just the kind that I'm best at, after all.

I think you can, seeing your videos, BUT, i havent seen to much stage 1 related stuff from you. Hey i just tell it how i see it. Same for you bada. Also guys, dont underestimate the log grip. As David said, its like two HARD punches on your chest. Its not as easy w/o all your energy

As David said, its like two HARD punches on your chest. Its not as easy w/o all your energy I definitely agree with you on the Log Grip. I guess the only ways I could show off Stage 1 skills would be wallruns (Warped Wall) and tictacs (Dome Steps), so I guess it's a fair judgement. Just don't rule me out on it lol

The only thing is, the strong competitors who fail the log grip underestimate it, or get unlucky. However us hardcore fans would know better. To fail the log grip you have to let go, simple as that. I wouldn't let go =) Also, jun sato is a horrible example. He's not "strong". Stage 1 is a caaake walk. I mean of course there is always a chance I could mess up on an obstacle, but I know I can beat all of them and I don't think I'd make any mistakes. Also time is not an issue because I guarantee I have more speed and endurance than most people on Sasuke. Now I'm not gonna say I can easily do stage 2 and stage 3 is in the realm of possibility, no, I know where I'd fail. Stage 2 it'd be the salmon ladder. And stage 3 the UCH. I know for a fact those are the spots I'd fail. Chances are I wouldn't fail the slider drop... or the obstacles before the UCH. Only reason I'm so confident about stage 1 is because it's perfect for me. It has all the obstacles that are easy to me. Shin-Sasuke had the flying chute, slider jump... etc. I had bad feelings about those. Those are gone though, and the only stuff left are things that I am very confident I can do. It's like the new stage 1 was built for me =p Also, I may have no shown too much stage 1 things in my videos... but it's definitely the stage I'm built for. I have videos showing off my stage 3 obstacles just because those are easier to build. I mean... what can I actually build from stage 1? Everything is so massive and hard to replicate However out of all the stages I'd do the best at 1. It's just my thing. Just like Levi is more suited for stage 1.

I guarantee I have more speed and endurance than most people on Sasuke. Really though? Really? Lol but I suppose I shouldn't judge until I see you try the course. It's just I smelt arrogance from your post, and I hate arrogance! But maybe I just misinterpreted your post, I dunno

Whether you're just super confident or not it does come across as arrogance; a little modesty would make people never question whether you're being arrogant. I'm not being critical either by the way.

Also, jun sato is a horrible example. He's not "strong". I never said he was lol All I mentioned was that he and I were of a similar AGILITY, which is what counts for the most part in Stage 1. And even if he isnt that strong, he's strong enough to beat the 1st Stage.

Whether you're just super confident or not it does come across as arrogance; a little modesty would make people never question whether you're being arrogant. I'm not being critical either by the way. Very few people on Sasuke have speed an endurance. it's a buncha old guys... they don't run a lot, none of them do. The few that do (like Levi, and Brian) are few and far inbetween, and I probably might have more endurance than them. Considering I'm in track I run every day. Miles upon miles. Build my endurance. Not only that but sprints to also increase my speed. My school has gone to nationals quite a few times in the past and it's only been around for 15 years. The day I tried out they told me I'd be starting varsity and that's without any practice at all. Now I'm 10x better than when i started and if we go to state consider me all-state It's not me being arrogant, it's just that not many people on Sasuke have speed or endurance. They don't run a lot. Nagano doesn't run a lot. David Campbell doesn't run a lot. Most of them don't. I'm not saying they suck or anything, it's just one of the things that they don't focus on as much. They prefer replicating obstacles and training for stuff in stage 3. If you want to know my times, I can run a mile in 5:15 (before track season started, so I was out of shape and didn't have proper training) Can run the 400 in 51 seconds. 2 Mile in the low 10's. I don't have a time for short sprints, but I'm fairly good at those too. And this was a long post for such a simple response. edit: and by endurance I mean... I won't get winded doing stage 1 like some people do. A lot of people are huffing and puffing at the end. I most likely wouldn't. The speed thing didn't mean speed in which I complete obstacles or endurance in which I do stage 3 if that's what you thought I meant... which I don't know how you would've gotten that since I was purely talking about the time limit for stage 1... READER COMPREHENSION. And there are far more arrogant people than me on here. See Oti, Rider, Venom. Not that they don't have anything to back it up or anything, but if you want to point fingers there are others more worthy of it than me,

A 400 in 51 seconds? Dayyum.
The middle school record for my school is 54 seconds. You must be extremely fast my friend.

That's middle school ^ In middle school I ran a 67 (Gym class). For a middle schooler that's EXTREMELY good. Hope that guy went onto track and field in highschool.

You don't need to tell everybody how great you are even if you are. For example: Nagano is unquestionably the greatest sasuke contest ever, but i highly doubt he would admit to that even though he knows he is. And im not just directing it at you, there are plenty of others too like you've mentioned. There's nothing wrong with being confident in your ability, just try not to step into arrogance.

I think a lot of people here are severely underestimating obstacles; their ability to complete all these obstacles consecutively, under pressure, and within the time limit; plus the fact that no one knew the obstacles beforehand since the course was different would make most here at least cautious enough to fail earlier than where they "could" go or be too cautious and time out later on.

I agree with you 100%. I feel like one of the biggest obstacles would be the pressure of all those people watching you and the cameras following you. Even when I was in my old school's band, I would feel really nervous before concerts just cause a few hundred people were watching me, and I bet if I was on Sasuke it would be even worse. It really affects your confidence and your ability when you're under pressure.

I agree, but at the same time there are people who actually build replicas and have proven they can do certain obstacles. And it's not like I ever said sasuke was easy... just stage 1. I've already said the other 3 would kick my a** countless times, so if anyone thinks I'm being cocky, it's the opposite. Sasuke would hand me my own a** on a silver platter. Even with all the training I'm far from being good enough to make a good attempt. It doesn't take much to clear stage 1. 10/100 people did, and a lot of those 100 never had a realistic chance to being with. A lot failed because of pressure, some because of psyichal disabilities, etc. I'm not saying I couldn't fail stage 1 (Nagano even does...) but the chances IMO would be more me passing than failing. It's like, perfect for me. It's like unbeatable banzuke. I think the handwalk challenge would be harder for me than sasuke, even the first one. Why? Because I can't walk on my hands... at all. Not even for a second. Atleast in Sasuke I'd have a chance, even if it was like a 0.0000001% chance. But people who CAN handwalk would think the handwalk course is easier than Sasuke, because it's what they're good at. Others might find it hard, but it's suited towards people who can walk on their hands. Stage 1 is suited towards all of my strengths, I have confidence if I was at 25 with a relatively high number (50's+) that I would've passed stage 1. And like I said, stage 1, not stage 2 or anything after.

If I tried I would defiantly fail at the double salmon ladder so I marked that. However, I have not watched Sasuke 25 yet so I don't know what several of the obstacles are. I could fail on several of the new ones.
