Dome Steps - 90% Rolling Log - 70% Jump Hang - 70% Bridge - 70% Log Grip - 80% Soritatsu Kabe - 50% Circe Slider - 20% I think i would fail the circle slider. Absolutely NO experience with a springboard, will be tired by the time i get there, and i am not so tall. IF i get EXTREMELY lucky and pass it.... There is NO WAY i will pass the balance tank. I have bad balance

I don't think I would have trouble with the Dome Steps or the Rolling Log. I have built many replicas of the jump hang so not there. Bridge jump is just about being light on your feet and then jumping on to a rope which is my speciality Log Grip I probably would have no trouble with so I think I would make it to the warped wall. I have never built a replica of the warped wall before so I think I would have trouble with it. Im fairly tall but I think I would fail the warped wall, but im not sure untill I try one out. Even if I did pass the warped wall I probably would fail the circle slider. And if some how I would pass that I should be able to pass the first stage with time to spare. I don't see any big threats on the second stage and time really isn't a "huge" factor for me so I think I would be able to pass the 2nd stage, but hey, you never know. There is no way in hell I would pass the 3rd stage *period* so i'll just stop while i'm behind

Rolling log probably but i reckon if i had all day i could get to the circle slider before faling; im tall enough but i wouldn't stay on it . I'd say the only one i could probably do, after the dome steps, is the warped wall and probably the wall lift. I can at least say that with some degree of confidence.

I said Circle Slider too, because I still haven't practised springboard yet. Yes, I'm short (even shorter than Nagano...ehem...), but I was hella good at springboard back in middle school, and it was my first try. I think I could do it with a bit of practise (not to be arrogant. Just being honest.). Being optimistic, I can't really see myself failing anywhere before, except for the S. Kabe (that's the Warped Wall for G4 names fans j/k), same reason as before. I'm short. But this could be an advantage, because being so worried about it, I watched and rewatched every single Soritatsu Kabe run I've seen and tried to come up with a scheme to beat it, kinda like Hironori Kuboki. By the way, if I passed the Circle Slider, I think I would end up failing the Balance Tank (never tried walking on a barrel before) or timing out on the Wall Lift. I could manage to Shingo under the first two walls, but the third one is heavier than me, and I'm still not that strong. No way I can lift that.

I feel like I could beat every obstacle in stage 1... besides time and probably not in succession. I feel i could go down at the jump hang, log grip, warped wall or circle slider (even tho im 6'). I put down circle clider tho

I could fail the Dome Steps.
Or I could get as far as the Warped Wall.
No idea where I would get too.

Well.. I guess it's time to make another one of these posts.. I'll go through my chances on the course obstacle by obstacle
Dome Steps is all about focus really, The way the earth makes dantobi obstacles naturally they're already round so I should have no problems here
Rolling Maruta all you have to do is make sure you're in a place it won't malfunction and just hold on tight, I've done pretty much the same thing on my Punching Bag only vertically with no grips so I can pass this.
Jump Hang I feel is easier than the Jumping Spider even though I can pass both easily, Get a good jump and try to grab the net high and go over and I should be fine, If I do end up jumping too low and it'd be better with my time to go under I'd have my legs on the net and keep them up until they're completely over the mat, climb over and get up.
Bridge Jump is a mix of speed and balance, run fast and step on the boards right in the middle of them and you should have them balanced fine, Grab the rope and just hold on until it's done.
Log Grip you just have to grip the log as tightly as you can, so as long as you can do a death-grip with your whole body you're fine. Although despite the fact I know I can pass this TBH it seems like it's the most challenging obstacle in Stage 1 for some reason, I guess the mental aspect probably.
Soritatsu Kabe is no problem, I can run up plenty of walls and pull myself over, I should have no problem here especially considering that it has a place to have your hands completely over it and not just hanging on a flat surface with your fingers like I can already do so it should be easier than how I train for it.
Circle Slider shouldn't be a problem, I've never used an actual springboard but I hear the trick is using more of your own jump than using it and I can jump pretty high on my own so I should have no problem here.
Tarzan Rope and Rope Ladder are no problem, I know the fastest way to climb a Rope Net is grab the vertical section with your hands and just keep moving the whole time. Since I know to run on all the paths and keep going I should have no problems with time. Onto Stage 2
Slider Drop is mostly focus, I can align the bar while it's moving so I should pass this easily
Double Salmon Ladder, I can do the Salmon Ladder just fine and I've done several methods of training for it, I can do the jumping bars too so I should have no problem here.
Unstable Bridge I know the most effective method is keep jumping across then swing, jump and continue jumping across then swing and dismount. I have practiced endurance enough to have enough energy to do the DSL and this in a row and still have plenty of energy left to finish the stage so I shouldn't have any problems here.
Balance Tank I know I can do because I've pretty much had makeshift replicas a few times on varying inclines so I shouldn't have a problem, The rope I can get through easily too.
Metal Spin just grab the rope and keep your grip tight the whole time, I've done pretty much exact replicas (Except for one of them it spun downwards so if anything the speed would make it harder and jumping to make it go upwards made sure I know how to jump with enough force). I should pass this just fine.
Wall Lifting is lift with technique and go under, I should pass this just fine and I should get through all the other obstacles with plenty of time to spare so I should be going onto Stage 3.
Roulette Cylinder I've practiced grip similar before it even was an obstacle and I've improved before 25 even filmed so I should pass this just fine.
Doorknob Grasper I should get through easily, I know not to rush and make sure my grip is fine before continuing so I won't have the same thing that happened to Brian happening to me.
Floating Board I'm unsure of my chances on, I should pass this obstacle if the gaps don't get me. Just to be fair I'll vote this even though I think I can pass it.
Ultimate Cliffhanger is more mental than anything.. I've practiced endurance with long cliffhangers, and I've practiced getting to the third ledge and getting to the 5th ledge and the jump from there.. While I'm not 100% sure I think I have a chance of passing this but I might fail here. Before the obstacle and continuing after it I'll probably try using "Nagano Rule" or at least using all 30 seconds if I can't go over
"Jumping Rings" seem easier than the Jumping Bars to me since you get more momentum, the tracks mean the rings could move but I know to jump to a way I can grab the rings anywhere they are on their tracks, I should pass this
"Rope Junction" like I always say, it has no function.. I should pass this with no problems.
"Jumping Pipe" seems more of making the most of your momentum but not over-doing it and flying off the edge like that tester from the 50 second commercial/start of the broadcast, Seems the best way to approach this is get 1 or 2 swings to give you the distance and use the legs up kick trick most people use for the SL/DSL. Just keep doing that until the end and get 2 or maybe 3 swings and just jump off and leave the bar there.
Final Stage I can't comment on since I don't know it so I don't know how well I'd do, Shin Sasuke's I think I had a good chance of at least making it close on

Dome Steps-clear
Rolling Log-about a 80-20 chance of passing.
Jump Hang-I train on a trampoline, though I still say 80-20, because you could easily mis-hit the tramp.
Bridge Jump-clear
Log Grip-80-20.
Soritatsu Kabe-probably will have trouble here(although I'm taller than the average Japanese, I'm still short), so I think possibly here.
Circle Slider-no springboard training, so probably here.
I'm gonna say Slider because I can pass everything else.

Dome Steps -- I should clear, I've made smaller steps than these and passed them, it's all a matter of keeping your momentum
Rolling Maruta -- I haven't had much experience here, but I'm confident I can hold on long enough to make it
Jump Hang -- 40-60 I make it, never had experience with this (plus along with this and Neshireta Kabe/Crooked Wall Sheep's sim has me fail here the most XD)
Bridge Jump -- As long as I don't take my mind off the rope I should have minimal trouble with this
Log Grip -- This is 50/50 for me, all of matter of can I hold on with my whole body
Soritatsu Kabe -- This is probably where I'd fail, I'd probably get stuck like Yamada (could get up there but something keeps it from happening)
Circle Slider -- No chance
Tarzan Rope/Rope Ladder -- I don't have good luck with swinging from a rope like that (nightmares of JROTC Summer Camp comes to mind lol) but I'm confident enough to swing out to the Rope Ladder, which is no problem
Will I time out? More likely than not. Will I go for a drink? Possibly. Will I have fun no matter the result? 100^infinity% Yes.

I think I honestly can beat all three stages right now, if not then in about 4 weeks of training for the new stage 3. No idea about stage 4(dont know what it is).
I've increased my stage 1 training and worked alot on the jump hang, the only potential problem in stage 1 is the circle slider as I have not used a spring board, but I studied the technique on how to hit it for every single successful attempt on 25, and I learn extremely fast and efficiently, a strength I always utilizse in my training for the show.
Stage 2 really is very easy, only 2 changes to it from before, as long as I keep straight on the pipe slider theres nothing to really worry about in the rest of it(especially considering I have also been training my balance good too lately)
Stage 3 is just a guess on how I could do now, but I willnot have many doubts in a few weeks when I've upped my training for awhile to keep my grip stronger longer, and increasing my leg strength so I can do the floating boards without using my hands as much, people call the UCH rediculous and impossible but its not as bad as it seems. The rest of the stage is pretty easy, I could fail the pipe jumper by mistake though, it does look like you might be able to slide off the front of it even if you land on it(though they look to have fixed that from after the clip that shows the guy fall, the stoppers are on a greater angle currently).
Stage 4: The first stage 4 I could have won the entire thing on, I JUST put my 2" thick rope up today(same type of rope as on the show, and just as thick) the rope goes 30ft up into my tree, very first try I scaled it in 16 seconds, 30ft in 16 seconds(and not getting tired)leaves time to spare with 49ft and 30 sec. I don't know how I would do on the other final stages, but feel I would at least be close, if I practiced each I could get it.
This is all obviously going on if I am on my game and have my head screwed on straight allowing me to tackle each obstacle the correct way. Obviously I could slip up on any obstacle if my mind slipped for one second, so this was assuming as said before that I am totally in the zone.

Any one who says they could beat the UCH and go onto the final stage is just a fool lol.

When you and me are 21, and we get on ANW, I'll bet you 30 bucks I'll go further than you. No offense to you sir, but I'm SURE your not going to go as far as you think you will
