The first obstacle was just alright to me. Personally, I'm getting tired of any of the steps as the first obstacle since they've been there so long despite the trickiness in this one. However, the curtain slider was pretty cool and fun to watch IMO. The only complaint I have with it is that it takes hardly any time to complete it when done correctly.

As much as I like the Circle Slider, and I like that it did take out a fair amount of people, I could see them taking it out for 24. If its windy on that day, that obstacle will be a pain to clear. Just look at Lee Enchi's run.

Just look at Lee Enchi's run. You mean curtain? And Scnoi, it looks like they prepared for the wind, it was latched onto the pole at multiple places, and it never once seemed to blow really hard int he wind. And lee's run isn't a good example, he attempted the obstacle much different than everyone else. Maybe he didn't do it the normal way BECAUSE of the wind? Is that what you're saying? Either way, I don't doubt he would've have beaten it the normal way regardless of wind.

Yes, exactly what I mean. He was getting ready to run directly at the thing and then stopped when he saw it was blowing in the wind. How is it prepared for the wind if the bottom isn't attached to anything? I highly doubt that Lee Enchi, after seeing how EVERYONE else did it that day and how fast they cleared it, would try something new. Watch the video again.

Wasn't saying you were wrong just trying to clarify, I only saw his first stage 1 run once. (Alliteration ftw)

Yea, I didn't catch either watching it the first time, but looking at it again in HQ, it's pretty clear that it wasn't set properly.
