Mark and not Luci? Sorry, I know Mark is your boy, but if we're re-voting people based on fairness, Luci has to go. She made it further than Mark, plus she had a good time throughout the whole run.

I didn't say it was based on fairness or far they got, I said it was my dream team, and what would be perfect for 22.
Mark definately deserves another chance, he could've gone way further than Luci got.
Luci got as far as I expected her to, and all the obstacles from the halfpipe-attack and onward would be the hardest for her, warped wall, flying chute...
And in stage 2 could she do the salmon ladder when Brian, levi, and a silver medla olympian couldn't?
I'm just saying... obviously for a girl she did incredibly well and I'm proud she got as far as she did instead of losing on the log grip, but chances are she can't get much further than that... while Mark has loads of potential.

Lars, your getting me mad! He did it for fun. If I could do that i would to lite fifty flips and do a flip and hit the red button in mid air! On the salmon ladder. the bars heavier so it's harder to do it now so give him a break he is not perfect! Remember what Nagano said? "I understand adults to know I'm not perfect *sigh* but t's the kids, I don't want kids to start my habits too." he said to Pwnmx(spelling?)
Back on topic, I thought it was awsome, he did flips and was tired and still demolished the first stage with 21 seconds left. And it was wierd how Brian and Levi failed some spot same way.

Well, if you want to play the technicality game, you never said YOUR dream team, you just said dream team meaning the best 6 people.
Plus, while Mark has "potential" so do a lot of people. The "fact" is, he failed the Log Grip, an obstacle none of the other ANC winners had problems with, including Luci. I know he was injured, but still. Who's to say he would even make it to the Salmon Ladder? He could easily fail the Jumping Spider, Halfpipe Attack, Warped Wall, or Flying Chute. Who's to say that Luci wouldn't be able to make it to Stage 2? Let's imagine that the roles were reversed: let's imagine that Luci did fail on the Log Grip and Mark didn't. Should Luci get a second chance at Sasuke 22? By the logic you used, she definitely should and Mark should not, just because I may think she has more "potential".

Yes, by my logic it would, if you truely thought Luci had more potential than Mark... but I just don't see it, and she's never proved it.
At least Mark went against Levi on a timed course and was the 2nd fastest out of all the ANC2 finalists.
I mean, compare their videos. To ME it looks like Mark had potential to go incredibly far, and if people's predictions were an indication (including yours) then everyone expected him to make it far, deep into stage 3.

I thought Mark was told he should heal in 6 months, thats not enough time to heal and make a video enough time before the competition, by the time he gets time for those the competition will probably be over.

I think we are vearing off the subject again. Feel free to crucify Luci for being a woman at another thread. Quite frankly the long and short of it is that G4 will control who goes back from the ANC crew and by all rights because they did it with Brett... anyone who had 1 shot at it should be allowed a second. Period. As for Levi's run of the first stage - it's about evenly split 50/50 as a generational gap

I just talked to Levi, this is what he said about the Salmon ladder:
"The salmon ladder was heavier, but that didn't make it harder, just harder to predict. I failed because i used the wrong technique on it. Thanks"

I still find it ironic that they changed it and he failed, Didn't he say he made it to Stage 3 in 20 because of his adaptability?

How'd you talk to Levi Wolf?
He's the only ANC2 finalist I havn't spoken directly to.

It's not like any of them can ask TBS for a reinvite they stil have to go through G4 because of their previous ties to the competition. I guess this is the part where the "G4 could keep ____ from going" idea loses me. I would think that TBS could invite back any of them TBS wanted to invite back regardless of G4's involvement. That said, G4 could choose not to assist in their travel or permit their involvement with the ANC group, but to do so wouldn't really be in their best interest. Instead, if TBS were to invite back an ANC participant on their own, it would be in G4's best interest not to include them in the ANC contest, but to have them be part of the Japan trip with the ANC contest winners. Is it coincidence that Brett (20) and Levi (21) were handled in this manner? Maybe. We really don't know. However, if Brett (20) and Levi (21) were invited back directly by TBS, then G4 handled the situation very well, and then it would make sense.

It was my dream team... it's the time I WANT TO GO.
Colin hasn't had his second chance yet, Levi and Brian are becoming their own group of all-stars and should continue competing, Mark deserves a second chance, and Rick and Rus are my favorites... And Rus = Ruselis = Blackie Chan...

I think TBS asked G4 to bring back either Colin or Brett for their 20th, but since Colin couldn't go (for school purposes), G4 had no choice but to send Brett.

Leebai sure put a nice show-off there, indeed..
It's easy to locate his Facebooky though..
Also, I am going to check out Sasuke 22 as I'll most likely be in Japan during that time! Going to be awesome that, indeed! And no, unlike many others, I am not planning to participate in Sasuke.. Why not? Because I've got no valid reason to do so! But ya, it'll be nice to watch them though! Especially since I am from viking country #2; Norway. Heh. (not like it matters at all, but yeah..)
Anyway.. pardon for going so much off-topic here..
I was really surprised when Leebai failed in stage 2 already.. Was sure that he was going to last longer, tbh.
Also.. did any of you notice how wild Olivia gets when she sees Leebai participate? She gets extra joy when Leebai's there.. Hehe. She got the hots for Leebai, eh? Heh.
Back to Leebai's run.. If he would've passed on to stage 3, he would've had problems during/after Cliffhanger and the part after CH..

Its an easy mistake to make, I mean people either call him Rus OR BlackieChan making for confusion when two people are talking about the same person with different nicknames.
