Levi is pretty tall so i think he might pass it. Shiratori just screwed up. What does height have to do with it? You do know that is one of the only obstacles in Sasuke history that they adjust depending on how tall competitors are. Why do you think PAT and Nagano can both fit on it? Levi may even have a harder time being taller, more weight to carry. And Shiratori was struggling, and "just screwing up" is the whole point. If an all-star can mess up on the second obstacle, then it's a hard obstacle You never saw people "screw up" or even struggle on the Downward Globe Grasp. The body prop not only drained you a lot more, but people even failed it, and it was the SECOND obstacle.

I can say with confidence that Levi wouldn't have a problem with the Body Prop. He's the same height and similar weight to me, and he's really good at handstands, plus it's Levi.

I'm sure he'd struggle with it more than the DGG, and it'd wear him out more.

What's DGG? I've seen Levi do a kong over a 3 1/2' wall, land in a handstand on another 3 1/2' wall, and stick it. He has really strong shoulders, the same muscles involved in the Body Prop. I just don't see him having any trouble with that one. No way to know for sure, but I'd be really surprised. Edited to correct horrible typos and actually make this post make sence.

DGG = Descending Globe Grasp
Anyway I could see levi struggling with the body prop, but barley passing it.

But I thought Terek was taller than Levi? (Isn't Terek 6'3" and Levi like 5'11"?)
So if height is a factor, Levi should be okay. If it's not...then I've got nothing.

Levi is just tired by the time he gets to the cliff hanger he needs to work on beating that than worrying about the now defunct body prop.

I just don't see him haveing any trouble with that one. Know way to know for sure, but I'd be really surprised. I never said he'd fail it, but do you really think the downward globe grasp is harder? Body prop actually took people out, 2 all-stars even. It's definitely the harder obstacles. Harder to do, and takes a lot out of you. Considering it's only the second obstacle, a lot of people who could've failed it didn't, but it definitely tired a lot of people out. PAT struggled through that and I can only imagine how much his body was aching afterwards.

And also, his 200-lb frame was such a hindrance that he didn't even make it to the first gap of the Cliff Hanger.
Still, I'd like the Body Prop to make a return in some form - it was IMO the toughest obstacle to have been removed.

Still, I'd like the Body Prop to make a return in some form - it was IMO the toughest obstacle to have been removed. The Body Prop was very suspenseful as you could have a sudden slip at any point. Having the Rumbling Dice first and then the Body Prop gave a very slow, draining, and bleak start to the third stage. I think a 4 obstacle sequence conclusion right after the Cliff Hanger has gotten a bit too easy for the competitors. I would like to see: 3 slow-moving obstacles The Cliff Hanger 2 more "1 at a time" obstacles A 3 obstacle combo with the Green Bar acting as the platform before the last obstacle.

Well yeah, the Globe Grasp is super easy, basically monkay bars. I always liked the body prop!

A: He didn't really seem tired in 23, if anything it was more loss of focus. Besides that did you see the vid David has on his channel of Levi training for it? B: Theres a course redesign and TBS seems to be running out of too many ideas and going back to old obstacles, particularly ones talked about often here. XD Which means theres a chance the Body Prop might be back. I'm sure he'd struggle with it more than the DGG, and it'd wear him out more. Because he wouldn't be able to do the Body Prop with only half the obstacle?

I seen him do it in his Garage yea but when came to the real thing - he screwed up for whatever reason - its totally different when the lights and cameras are on you and its for real rider.

He only had the second and third ledges and he messed up the 1 -> 2 transfer. (In the chat for 23 I said "David.. You better go back there and build that first ledge for him" XD)
And look at the date of the video I linked to, that was only several days before 24 filmed (And as we know levi wasn't there)

I never said he'd fail it I could easily see Levi failing it. Kinda did there, I'm not saying Levi would or he wouldn't but because one is tall, doesn't always mean that person is heavier, just tends to generally happen in Sasuke. Plus, it's pretty awkward to use Lamp Grasper as a justification whether he'd pass or fail the Body Prop.
