Cross slider: Keep, nice first obstacle, maybe not a killer but a drainer Swap Salmon Ladder: Honestly not sure what to do with, not bad but not great, slow and easy, either modify or destroy Unstable Bridge: Modify, Such a good obstacle turned into a joke... Needs the 2 chain board Spider Walk: Destroy, Don't get me wrong, I like it, and in classic stage 2 it was good, but the Jumping Spider came to stage 1 and they just dumbed it down for the spider walk back to stage 2, not even changing the route.. I'd rather see the JS back in either stage than an easy spider walk in Stae 2 Backstream: Destroy or Modify, I like it but swimming is odd and the jets were too powerful, but I like there's some core difficult obstacle Passing Wall: Keep, I honestly like it

Cross Slider - Add Drops (MODIFY) Swap Salmon Ladder - KEEP Unstable Bridge - DESTROY Spider Walk - Bring Back the 7-17 Version AND Put it right after the SSL (MODIFY) Backstream - KEEP ONLY if the Time Limit is NOT that low! Passing Wall - Remove the Gaps between Walls and the Mat (MODIFY ONLY if the Time Limit is NOT that low!)

Keep, Keep, Destroy, Modify, Modify, Keep.
Seriously, the Backstream was way too hard.

1. Cross Slider- Destroy. It's not fun to watch in my opinion. I'd like to see the Downhill Jump return, but I don't see it going anywhere. I guess the Cross Slider can stay, but I'd like to see it gone. 2. Swap Salmon Ladder- Modify. It's not taking out enough competitors. We constantly hate on the Backstream, but shouldn't the (historically) toughest obstacle in the Second Stage be keeping people away from the Backstream? 3. Unstable Bridge- Destroy. It's a vestige of an old era. If they modify it that's fine, but I'd like to see a new, creative dismount obstacle. 4. Backstream- Keep Keep Keep Keep Keep oh my God this is my new favorite obstacle. 5. Passing Wall- Keep. Good obstacle, maybe lower the last wall a little.

I don't have much problem with specific obstacles as much as the thing as a whole. It just lacks any sort of identity. There doesn't seem to be any finesse at all in the design/execution (dare I say I kind of like how the new ANW is looking better due to the (miles) higher production quality. The original is starting to look like crap in comparison). But, I'm going to play along.
Scrap the entire thing. 1. Boring to watch 2. Requires direct outside help to complete 3. Just crap 4. Just... odd to be there in the first place 5. Terrible modification

1. Keep - I like it, easy but still failable. The jesus imagery is cool. 2. Keep - this is the coolest version of the salmon ladder, and the toughest. 3. Modify - old unstable bridge or a new idea please. 4. Destroy - Why is this here? 5. Destroy - Reverse conveyor belt does the same thing but not as dumb. 6. Destroy - This used to be one of my favorite obstacles, but it's stupid now... that gap at the bottom is dreadful.

Terrible modification WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH U U SAID SCRAP THE ENTIRE THING FOR THE FIRST STAGE 1: its a creative obsticale 2: u dont need direct help 3: i agree bring back the first one 4: the backstream has a purpose 5: i think its a really good modification of an obsticale that has been around since the beginning

The direct help means the controlled notches of it, kind of needs to be done so the SSL isn't done in two (or one) jumps up but that furthers the problems of the obstacle

Cross Slider - Modify. Not sure how yet, but it needs to be slightly harder, at least more draining. Then it would serve more of a purpose. So far, it's just a first obstacle to me.
Swap Salmon Ladder - Keep.
Unstable Bridge - Destroy. It became a joke once they got rid of the second bored. It's just there.
Spider Walk - Modify. Maybe make the walls move a bit, make it slightly trickier. Kind of like the first 7 or so tournaments. Maybe make it longer? Idk.
Backstream - Modify. The jet's a bit too powerful, and the time limit made it really difficult in particular.
Passing Wall - Modify. The second wall is lol-worthy. And I don't really like how you can just slide under the walls if you can't lift them. It was never like that until Sasuke 21, you had to be able to lift. do u evn lift brah
But yeah, Stage 2 definitely needs the most work imo.

Although you do have valid points on obstacles 1 and 4 (I agree that 1 is creative and 4 "has a purpose" in that it's difficult), I said to scrap them based on what I said about them regardless of what other positive things there are about them. In my book, if something is wrong with it, then the whole thing needs to be scrapped. This is a high budget tv show: their standards should be higher for things like flow, aesthetics, and continuity. I do disagree on the "passing wall"/"wall lift" modification though. There was something simple and elegant about the three identical (as far as method goes) walls increasing in weight. It was a very simple concept, stopped competitors, contained a theme within itself as well as fit with the "strict time limit" theme of the stage. The passing wall, on the other hand (in my opinion of course. You don't have to agree with me), the passing wall seems to be a strange conglomeration of things. Are the first and last wall supposed to be the same or no? Is the second wall's difficulty breaking the idea that the walls increase in difficulty? Etc. It just lacks finesse.

Cross Slider: Keep. Once this kind of obstacle fails someone, even one person, it has served it's purpose. SSL: Modify. Fix the first jump, it looks to be completely level like a Jumping Bars jump. Unstable Bridge: Modify. Give us back the second board. Spider Walk: Keep. Actually not half bad. Backstream: Modify. Either we get more time, or the currents get slightly weaker. I liked the obstacle, but it was pretty hard. Passing Wall: Destroy. Stupid obstacle.

#4 D #5 M (bring back walls to the ground) / D (if that means to bring back the OTHER wall obstacle)
The rest I don't care about that strongly.

Cross Slider: Keep
Swap Salmon Ladder: Keep
Unstable Bridge: Keep w/ one board (considering the point of the stage, I understand why it's only one board. If there were two, people would timeout before even having a chance at beating the Backstream.)
Spider Walk: Keep
Backstream: Modify/Destroy (Too difficult now, so if they don't reduce the jet power, might as well get rid of it.)
Passing Wall: Keep (Regardless of whether you liked the Wall Lifting when it was raised off the ground for its later tournaments, if the Backstream is still around, might as well give the competitors that little bit of help. It's tough enough to lift it while soaking wet, it would be too much to have them lift it right off the ground. If the Backstream is gone, perhaps Modify it then, but if not, keep it as it is.
But my biggest issue is the time limit. 100 seconds minimum.

1. Keep, I like the Headphones Grasper. 2. Keep, tough but not ridiculous like how the SL used to dominate the stage 3. Modify, make it be held by two chains that way the person has to jump from the SSL to the board. 4. Spider Walk - Keep 5. Modify, tone down the jets a little. Like a mix between 28 and 29's speeds. 6. Keep.
Modify the time limit

1. Keep. It's not a hard obstacle, but it still tires out the arms a bit.
2. Keep. Great obstacle.
3. MODIFY! Seriously, a plank of wood does not equal a balance bridge.
4. Spider Walk: Modify. Make a set of panels move, and that's enough.
5. Modify. When someone who surfs as a hobby complains about how powerful the back jets are, and another contestant makes it to the end only to struggle to get out because of the jets pushing them away from the handholds/ledge, that's overkill.
6. Modify. Bring back the Wall Lift. I really think the Passing Wall is gimmicky.
