Please keep ALL discussion for these episodes in their respective threads. Monday, August 5, 2013 - NBC Network8:00 PM - S05, E12 - Baltimore Finals - Part 2 Description: Participants compete in the Baltimore finals. The course features 10 obstacles, including the Rumbling Dice and Body Prop. This is 1 hour show. Going to be using TV Guide and winging it to get the correct dates (especially after the debacle with the zap it website).. This is semifinals from Baltimore, Maryland on NBC. Please keep this specific episode on this thread only. Don't bring up other regionals into discussion here. Keep that on those threads. REMINDER: There are people who did not read the respective spoiler threads from when the competition was taped.. please do not include information from that thread here. Stick to the episode shown. Last reminders of course that all of this thread is a spoiler thread for what is shown on G4's broadcast. |

I'm in the same spot I was before, front row in front of the Swing Jump, I'm just all the way at far end of the bleacher row at in these episodes.
But really hyped for this episode, it may or may not have been an exciting round (even with a slower pace than qualifying)

I just heard Matt say that the Baltimore finals were in Baltimore, home of current Super Bowl winning team, the Baltimore Ravens. Is that the only f***ing reason they had it in Baltimore?

You have to cut bmore a break, it probably doesn't have many more superlatives. Crab cakes maybe?
Plus, they are definitely trying to make it look more like a professional sport with all the 90 degree arms and red circles. Probably intentional to insert the nfl reference ...
Man Tim sheif just went out on the body prop after 3 mins straight of handstand highlight reel. Very unexpected!

Dear RiderLeangle, YOU LIAR, MIKE BERNARDO DID NOT QUALIFY Sincerely, actually not sincerely He didn't but did, he came 16th and they ended up taking top 18, also you can understand my confusion with him signing the same forms all the qualifiers were, also he was in the group giving high fives in the morning as well.
On top of that I know his (among a few other) Vegas results, but I can't share since I signed NDA |

Well at least once Akbar called the grip that the All-Stars used on Pipe Slider when Brian Wilczewski "The opposite-handed grip" instead of "The Brian Orosco grip."

Possibly, even if it is, I'm not complaining (unless it effects a return next year), having it in Baltimore was an amazing experience, getting to test, getting to watch, getting to hang with my ninja brethren |

The body prop looked a lot more strenuous for the americans then it does on Sasuke. Maybe the height difference? The shorter guy (I forget his name) was 5'6" and he didn't have nearly as hard of a time with it. How wide do you think the spacing is from one side to the other? Based on the height of the competitors I am guessing around 5'. Anyone have better info on this? I am building this along with the spider jump right now and I want to be as close to accurate as possible. Any feedback is appreciated.

They adjusted the height according to the height of each competitor. |

It's adjusted by the competitors, they had everyone up getting into position and locking it at the spot where they get into position, this was done before city finals started and I guess the findings were recorded, they adjusted it into place before the runs. they actually had the competitors in random time order and worked by height for minimal adjusting time, just had similar heights running in groups sort of so things only needed moved an inch or so instead of all back and forth

I see. So the shorter guy did better due to other factors like fitness and weight. Do you think at my height of 5'10" a 5' gap would be about accurate or should I build it bigger? It sounds like you were there for the taping and have a better idea on specs.

I would imagine you would need at least a 6' gap, you need it to be wider than your height if you're gonna be able to squeeze in-between. My guess based on what I've seen is your height + 3 to 6 inches.

My best advice is just experiment, it was set by the competitors getting into position, TBH I don't know any specs despite being a trster, I couldn't attempt the Body Prop due to being soaking wet from the Rumbling Dice, some things like qualifying stuff could br done wet but I didn't attempt the Warped Wall or Body Prop and no one did the Spider Climb EDIT: Also, "sounds like I was there for filming"? I was there before the thing was set up, I got there before testers were scheduled to come lol . OK I left at 5pmish on thursday and came back the next day at (coincidentally enough) at 5ish but I saw the panels being put up |

Thanks for the input. I am going to attempt to make mine adjustable so I can change it up as needed. I will let you guys know how it turns out.
