I'm sure you'd win a thousand times over, Bada. I say hand walk is the hardest. The helicopter one looked hard too, but I consider physical challenges to be harder that... whatever that counts as.

Not saying I'd beat it, but I've pogo sticked before and only 2 of the obstacles look hard. I mean... I'm not even that good at pogo sticking and on a good day i might be able to do it. It's just pogo sticking afterall... It's not like I'm saying I can do handwalk, is it really that unbelievable? How do you know how good I am at pogosticking? For all you know I could be a champion. I'm not a god at pogo sticking, but I'm good enough that I would've put up at least a good effort, and considering there are people light years better than me it just makes it seem like it'd be easy. On the other hand there is handwalk and experts DO try that, and fail. Most of the people doing pogo stick either suck, or that pogo stick everyone has to use sucks.

It's hard to say what's "hardest" becuase each event is designed to challenge the very best in each field of expertise.
That is, each event is, ideally, of equal difficulty.
However, I don't think the producers fully accomplised that goal.
Certain events like Like a Pierrot, Atletic Love, and Daruma 7 had fairly frequent victories and didn't challenge competitors to the max. As a result, quite a few amateurs cleared (Like a Pierrot 2 was probably the biggest disaster in terms of design and difficulty). Others like Kangaroo, Hand Walk, and Ottoto 9 were designed so that only a superhuman could succeed.
Most of the other events found a good middle ground where you didn't have to be THE best, but still had to be pretty darn good.

If it's easy like you said, Bada, you'd win. Either that or you'll prove to the world that you're really, really bad at pogo sticking. If it's so easy, don't you think more people would win? I do.
But anyway...
Old hand walk courses, right? I thought they were the best in terms of difficulty. The most recent was just... no.

Oti: I'm pretty sure most of the people who do the kangaroo event just suck. Look at the course, does it look hard? Maybe it's just you suck at pogo sticking so it seems hard to you?
I mean, I can't even stand up for 5 second on a unicycle, so the like a perriot course looks impossible to me. My friend however, is amazing on a unicycle and he says like a perriot doesn't look too challenging. At the same time, he thinks the bamboo derby and kangaroo events are impossible.
So what I'm saying is Oti, if you suck at pogo sticking, the course is going to look a lot harder than it actually is.
Pogo sticking isn't even hard.
Have you tried it? Are you good at it? How are you able to judge accurately? I can judge because I have pogo sticked before. I own a pogo stick. There are people who are 1000000000x better at pogo sticking than me and considering with my shady skills I could get to at least the last 3 obstacles the people who are ebtter than me would kill the course.
it's not like they try and recruit the best pogo stickers in the world, this isn't sasuke where they invite olympic athletes. This is Banzuke, they just let random people who may or may not be good at pogo sticking try the course.
There are some people I saw who couldn't even stand up on the thing. Are you saying they are good at pogo sticking?
No, they suck. There were only a few people that I ever saw on Kangaroo that didn't suck. Kangaroo is an easy event. Just because it was never beaten doesn't mean it's hard, it just means that there was never a good competitor.
Picture Sasuke. Now take out every competitor who has ever beaten stage 1. Obviously it's going to look a lot harder than it actually is because NO ONE is beating stage 1. Now put people like Nagano and Takeda who are actually good on the course and you see it's not as hard as it seemed.
Same with Kangaroo.
How are you to judge my pogo sticking skills? Do you really think it's that hard to learn how to pogo stick? Have you tried it? Did you fail so hard that it gave you this misconception that using a pogo stick is hard? because it's really not, it's really easy.
Like I said I had never pogo sticked before and 1 day I saw my friend doing it. I learned how to do it that day and was able to go on forever without stopping (Not literally, I mean thousands of jumps without stopping, and that's my first day) And it's not like I was born to be good at pogo sticking it just wasn't that hard for me and there are probably hundreds of thousands of people better than me which could make the course look easy.

I'm going to say Neko de Drive. I don't see how anyone could get past the broken piano.
That said, Sponge Bridge 2/3's red zone and the hardest of the 3 versions of the Hand Walk 2 course both look completely unreasonable as well.
Everything else (that I've seen) pales in comparison.

Someone did clear the Broken Piano but in season 1 (which is rarely aired by G4 anyone.) However, they fell almost immediately after they began the next obstacle which was a slope of some sort. Still, someone must have cleared Neko de Drive because there was a 2nd version of it. (Or they could have done like they did with Sponge Bridge 2 and change it without a victory.) And yes, the producers went bonkers creating the original Hand Walk 2.

That curved path during the 1st version of HWII was dementedly (if that's even a word) evil. Not surprised no one cleared that. And if someone did more power to them. Also G4 tends to splice footage a lot. During Hand Walk one time the Double Bridge had white powder as the hazard and the very next run it was black padding.

That was a long, pointless post just to say you think you could beat the course, Badalight. It doesn't look that hard, but that's just how it looks. Sasuke doesn't look hard either.
I think the hand walk got out of control when they added that mine cart thing and the uphill climb in running water. One dude slipped and I could have sworn he was going to break his neck.

Well the mine cart thing is practical just to test your stamina while on a moving apparatus. But the uphill climb is really dangerous the conveyor belt is really questionable too.
Bamboo Derby has insane obstacles everywhere, the dancing stones-esque obstacle is really difficult, not to mention the injury possibility if you fall wrong

Um... the mine cart is probably more about pressing strength and balance than stamina, really. The conveyor belt strikes me as more of a stamina thing because you're... on a treadmill...

Just sayin, out of every event Kangaroo is one of the easiest.
Why has no one mentioned Super Helico yet? That one looked insanely tough, navigating those helicopters takes a real professional, and some of those corridors were just the right size for the helicopter to fit through.

They aired a mini-marathon this morning with a few season 2 episodes and the last few started over from the beginning on season 1. And yes, Super Helico is really difficult. I still can't get over how some of the helicopters cost 3 or 4 thousand dollars. I originally really liked that event, but there seemed to be too many early fails and it wasn't very fast moving.

Man, that must REALLY stink to pay that much money to buy/rent a helicopter and end up breaking (or at least damaging) it within a few seconds or minutes of starting Super Helico. Yeah, that makes me prefer the physically-demanding events any day over that. Also, I was wondering something. Wikipedia's Sasuke article says that "The Japanese Clark Kent" was on Daruma 7, but failed (obviously ). If this is true, could someone possibly provide me with some more information on this?

I saw him, I remember him almost winning actually. I think he was in the episode where they had the 3 athletes do it and apparently he was a baseball player? Ionno, my memory might be failing me.

I'd most likely say the hand walk. I can't believe how much energy you'd need for that course.
