Silk Slider given how disfunctional it was. Aside from that, the jumping spider scares me. Perhaps the spin bridge could trip me up as well. I'd say about 50% chance of beating stage 1.
Stage 2 I'd probably get gassed on the Salmon ladder given my current conditioning. If not that, then unstable bridge would get me. If some reason I'm having a great day and a ton of motivation to power through those obstacles, it would be the metal spin.
As for stage 3, it'd be the floating boards.

Hopefully next time I awkwardly stumble through the course it won't be 5 am and 30 degrees outside. I can say I did better than Bada though, he said he mistimed the dismount on the Rolling Log and failed it (BTW don't even laugh about that happening to him, the rolling log was brutal and took out most of the competitors) and I failed one obstacle later on the Bridge of Blades. I really should have gone over the middle like Mike Needham did, my first step was way too hard and with how it tilted by the time I got to the next blade it was going down too much to go forward... True, though I can honestly say I'm in the worst shape of my life. Got tired jogging a mile the other day. I used to do 5 mile jogs as a warmup for Track, then I'd have the actual practice, then a 2 mile cooldown jog, and then I'd go to soccer practice later that day (not to mention 2 gym glasses during school). Of course once I got home then I'd do my Sasuke obstacle and upper body training. I was a beast back then. I also tend to do poor when there isn't something on the line. If it was actual competition rather than just me testing, I think I would've performed better. Kinda elevates the feats of the Sasuke Champions doesn't it? Very true, those guys are amazing. Staying motivated is the hardest part, but they've been chasing this dream for so long. I think with me it's that I discovered Sasuke in middle school which was the worst period of my life, and it's something that I really needed at the time. A lot has happened since then, and I don't need Sasuke like I used to. I also completed my goal of competing on the show, at least somewhat... which I was content with despite my poor performance. Moving onto bigger and more important goals though, but I will still submit my rehashed video every year and hopefully be selected.

Damn, we are all 21 now arent we? You, Badalight, and a few others. Is there a thread in particular that talks about all the results of you guys? Perhaps a wikia page on Sasuke forum member results? Any of you guys made it on tv? I actually competed in ANW4 and ANW5, and was a tester in ANW6. In ANW4 I competed in Dallas and lost in the prelims on the Jump Hang obstacle. In ANW5 I competed in Denver and made it one obstacle further, you can see the gif in my sig for the failing moment. That was actually taken from a Denver news program - which is the only TV exposure of my actual run. I've technically been in a bunch of the crowd shots, even some closeups, but nothing spectacular. I still love Sasuke, but I don't train for it so much anymore - not since I've graduated high school. If it was me in my prime, I have no doubt I would've wrecked those courses. The only one to blame is myself (and college and joining the workforce).

Pipe slider is my favorite obstacle of all time. Flying bar is lack luster, you essentially win before even ending up on the final platform. It's just a strange finish.

Eyyy, it's that game I started like 5 years ago.
Guess I will continue my trend from back then.
