Well, that was fun. No team course runs this time, but the new tag event was interesting.

I liked it. I'm happy they did away with the relay. It's just not interesting seeing people attempt a few obstacles of a stage. The skills were always the stronger thing. The one year the teams were interesting in my view was when they had some higher level ninjas attempt full stage 3 as well as the women attempting full stage 3. But relays to me isn't as interesting.
The tag was awesome. Such a creative event that really shows physicality. Some of the other events seem more fun than physical. I do question if those who win get any financial compensation. It's interesting to see Jesse Graph compete with a brace. I'm just curious if it was worth risk for someone like her. Obviously, she decided it wasn't.
I really miss the lache for distance and the super salmon ladder. Also the increasing wall. Those events were physically impressive. But it was still enjoyable and has me excited for this season.

For once, they never fast-forwarded any runs, but I wouldn't have minded if it meant having another event or two. It annoyed me in years past because the relay took up so much time. We actually saw the same number of events as Season 11/12 (but that one was for different reasons  ). Season 10/11 actually had 6 events even with a relay, and Season 8/9 had 7 events with 3 entire events digested. So it's possible to have at least 6 events with fewer fast-forwards now, which I think is a good amount. |

I liked it better when it was a individual competition to see who was the strongest for an extreme version of a particular obstacle (warped wall, salmon ladder, etc.), rather than this head-to head stuff they're doing now. The full 30 minutes (not counting commercials) dedicated to that ridiculous slider dive was especially egregious.

It was filmed last year and they had to shoot Kaden climb stage 4 before moving onto the all star special. This put them way behind and had to drop at least 1 if not 2 skills. I do recall they were going to have an air surfer for lache, and see who could go the furthest but didn’t have time for filming. They really didn’t even have time for the striding steps bc the sun came up.
