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.

As being legally obligated to do so, I would like to congratulate A. Smith & Co. on building 9 very safe obstacles.

They wouldn't because that would go against their "whole not touching water" (the one that screwed Flip) thing.

Does anyone know what the Crazy Cliffhanger looks like? They wouldn't because that would go against their "whole not touching water" (the one that screwed Flip) thing. You're acting like this hasn't always been a rule even in Sasuke.

I hope they show Mike Needham run this time mostly because I enjoy seeing someone my size finishing the course and doing it quickly.
Surprised they ff him during the qualifier given nbc made a big deal about Katcy height the week before oh well!

Let me tell you this as someone who was there, they did a horrible job editing the qualifying episode. Sadly I wasn't there for the city finals since I was on a greyhound back to MD at that point :/

Let me tell you this as someone who was there, they did a horrible job editing the qualifying episode. Sadly I wasn't there for the city finals since I was on a greyhound back to MD at that point :/ Why do you think they did a horrible job? Because they didnt show enough people? There were plenty of runs that deserved to be shown but were not even referenced. Let's start with Chris Wilczewski WHO THEY DEVOTED THEIR ENTIRE PROMO TO who got FF, as far as complete cuts, Elet Hall successfully jumped to the platform from the first bar of the second part of the Double Tilt Ladder (they showed someone failing in a FF doing the same thing but they can't show someone who successfully did it? and did it earlier in the night at that?), I may be biased towards the walk ons but they didn't bother showing any of the 3 who cleared? One of which was the first person to clear at all and another had been trained by Joe Moravsky. They could have shown Tukrong Klengdong (who failed the WW due to traction but was fast enough to make it into the top 30), he didn't break his nose this year but after he went through that in Miami Finals last year that deserves TV time. They missed setting up a redemption story when Andrew Lowes cleared the qualifying course after the time out incident in Stage 1 of Vegas last year. After all the TV time he got last year I expected at least a FF for Jeffery Tan despite failing the Rolling Log. How about 55 year old Mike Maitem who completed the whole course but got DQ'd on the Bridge of Blades for using his hands. Now they cut all these and what do they show attention to? A guy who had a mediocre entry video with snapping for transitions? A plumber who failed the rolling log? another clear overturned by DQ because of a blatant dip on the Rolling Log (instead of someone who had a more impressive achievement due to the circumstances involved). I don't even care that they didn't show me, so many more deserving athletes with much more amazing runs got completely cut, the stuff that didn't get shown compared to the stuff that did get shown really rubbed me the wrong way... EDIT: You know after going on a rant like that, I'll be nice and ACTUALLY show what the CCH is more like, It has a transitional ledge, so it got mental help and the Crazy Cliffhanger is more used salesman crazy rather than padded room crazy

It's got that transitional ledge though. Still crazy and I'm stoked to see it but not QUITE as crazy. I'd imagine if it's at Vegas though it'll be Sasuke-crazy?

If it was the SASUKE edition no one would pass it because the weights of everyone! That's the big problem. They did seem to tone the crazy cliffhanger a bit thank goodness.

"Let's have competitors have to move a 60-pound metal box and then tell them to traverse a small ledge right after because that's good obstacle design."
Said no competent person, ever.

They mentioned Rosen as a Team USA member. Glad that was mentioned. That's the only thing I remember of him. Anyways he's the first on the crazy cliffhanger.

You're acting like this hasn't always been a rule even in Sasuke. Exactly, someone got DQed in the very latest Sasuke 30 tournament by brushing the bottom of their shoe on the water.
