Resetting

[yamfriend]

I just thought of what seems to be two pretty good questions.

First of all, how much time does the Sasuke staff spend resetting a stage after a run? After all, I would imagine that it would take a few minutes to do such things as putting the Log Grip back in place for the next competitor, among multiple other obstacles. I mean, some things (i.e. Halfpipe Attack) probably can be reset for the next competitor in less than a minute (which I've seen them already starting to do in the background on Sasuke while the competitor is moving on to the next obstacle), but others such as the Log Grip might take longer than most Stage 1 runs to put back in place. Can anyone please clear this up for me?

My second question stems from the previous one. What is the Sasuke audience and other competitors doing during these "resetting times" (and for the entire day-long competition) anyway? Don't they get bored while constantly waiting for the next runs?

Wow, me just writing about these things has made me realize more prominently than ever before that we don't know close to as much about "Sasuke: Behind the Scenes" than what's televised.

Actually you missed G4's behind the scenes then. Kevin Pereira mentioned how boring it was to see that poor guy reset the Log grip after every single run.. It does take a lot of time which is why you don't see all the competitors there all day and you show then All-Stars and G4 crew chilling out in the bus.

Log Grip takes approximately 5 minutes to reset.

Yeah, I forgot that I usually just watch the tournaments and rarely the extra stuff...nevertheless, I didn't even realize that they actually ever showed something like this during Sasuke 21/American Ninja Challenge 3 (I'm just assuming they showed this on G4 during this competition, which I don't think I saw anything other than the G4 broadcast of Sasuke 21 itself). Thank you very much for letting me know about this!

P.S.---Is there any links that any of you might have showing some of these things? It's just something I'd like to find a little more about! ;D

Stage 1 takes the most work - Log grip needs setting( i'd think this takes the longest) - curtain slider- halfpipe- slider jump - tarzan rope.

Stage 2 downhill jump board - salmon ladder stick - metal spin

stage 3 arm rings and gliding ring which both take a few seconds they hook em with a long pole thing and move em back.

Stage 1: Log grip Slider Jump Tarzan rope
Stage 2: downhill jump salmon ladder
stage 3: arm rings gliding ring

HPA and metal spin just need 2 be stilled

No. The Half-pipe Attack's rope is on a track, so that needs to be reset and I imagine they turn the Metal Spin so it's the same for every competitor.

[bigblind168]

hmmm never realized its on a track...

and Ive seen the metal spin be different every time for every competitor.

[RiderLeangle]

The HPA isn't on a track. the rope is tied up high on a beam coming out from the structure the wall is on, they do have a short rope to pull it back and hold it in place until released

[Oti]

I thought it was on a track back in 19 and stuff. I dunno.

I wonder how long is needed when the Rolling Log fell off the track.....

Perhaps the length of time between the last post and your post.
