That was the kind of unique thing I was looking for.

Yuuji failing the dismount on that thing after almost slipping off on the first half? Priceless.

I liked it alot. It's a time wasting obstacle, which makes time more of a factor in stage 2, and it's also a tricky obstacle. So, the competitor attempting it has to be extremely careful not to mess up.

The fact the second planks rotates is so cruel it's awesome.

I wonder if the testers showed the working technique. Because Rich King made it look like there weren't any testers who ended up getting it. And it took Shingo to get it down for everyone else (if they showed everyone in order).

I LOVE it. Not only waste stage 2's time limit lowered, but they added a time waster that takes more strength than the swing ladder and hella technique.

Perfect technique and everything.

What does shingo clearing it have to do with showing the way? Wasn't Takahashi Kenji the first to pass it?
EDIT: And I think I figured out what I can use to train for it.. Swings!

Sounds like a good idea, but generally swings are too far apart to work unless you find some massive swingset. Believe me, I actually tried making an obstacle like that for my Junsei Ryou series. Where you'd hold onto 1 swing and try passing the gap by building momentum and getting to the next swing. Maybe you'll have better luck, but it didn't work at all.

Obstacle surprised me, creatively if you let go with one hand you will lose all balance. Swing ladder replacement took out Yuuji, friggin YUUJI man, that's an accomplishment.

I think it was ok. My girlfriend said she thinks they're starting to run out of ideas.

Kenji's transfer between the two pieces looked more like a leap of faith, like he just barely made it. Shingo looked a bit cleaner in how he started and how he got across.
But we'll have to see a recording if we wanna go crazy with all the analyzing.

This massive enough? www.majhost.com/gallery/manaleader/AvatarTwenty/incompleteswings.jpg(Granted now it actually has swings and those swings are thicker than other swings I've found but still...)

Dude, that's awesome, that playground has turf. But it depends Rider, how close together are the sets of swings? If they're too far apart the transfer will be nigh impossible. The length of mine is too far to jump like competitors did this time, and too far to just reach. And the problem with the swings is you can't replicate the spinning motion of the second board, it's only supported by 2 wires so it tilts, however the swings won't tilt like that.
