How far would you get? *Spoilers*

[RiderLeangle]

Well I turned 17 back in October, This October I'll be 18.

30 bucks huh? How much do we have to pay if one of us qualifies?

lol, these threads are always good for a laugh.

indeed sir, indeed.

venom im sorry but I don't think you'd be able to pass stage 3. If Hashimoto couldn't then I doubt you could. As for the final stage thing saying you got a good time, you must consider the fact that finalists go through 3 stages of hell beforehand, Nagano and Akiyama of course would be a hell of a lot faster if they only did the final stage.

Anyway as for me how far would I get.....hmm well I definitely would not pass stage 1 that's for sure. I think the furthest I'd ever get in my current state would be the Jump Hang, or maybe the steps would throw me off balance, I don't know the exact distance between them. I think I could hold on to the rolling log though.

First post edited. Did what rider did. kind of.

[intelligentinfer]

Bridge jump probably. I have VERY bad balance. Otherwise I'll time out right before attempting the Wall

No offense but if your balance is that bad what makes you think you can pass the Dome Steps anyways?

[rodprime79]

Rolling Log. I don't think I would be strong enough to hang on all the way down.

I practice steps ALOT and that will probably overcome it. Or I'll fail it like a miracle and lose my face

[venomcarnage89]

FAMAS: I did 2 hours of training before I did the rope, that equates to much more than the first three courses which only takes up maybe 10 minutes of time.

[arsenette]

Rolling Log.. I'd fall off from being dizzy. LOL!!!

[chackpop]

Hmmm...

Dome Steps would be easy, I'm a runner. My legs are strong.
Rolling Log is 50/50.
I could see myself barely missing the Jump Hang net. Fingertips and all centimeters from the net. I don't know why.
If I managed to beat the Jump Hang I'd prbly beat the Bridge Jump and would prbly fail the Log Grip.
No matter how good I'd do, I would die on the Wall.

So I put Jump Hang

[yamfriend]

In all honesty, I think that I'd fail the Rolling Log for some reason. Although I do train on a pretty consistent basis, it has eliminated some pretty strong competitors in the past, and I wouldn't be surprised if a similar thing happened to me as well. Another reason why I voted for the Rolling Log is (when considering what I said before) I'd have a 50-50 chance, but I'm pretty unlucky in the first place when it comes to this kind of stuff.

As for the rest:

Dome Steps - I'm hoping I could pass it
Rolling Log - See above
Jump Hang - If I get a good jump, then I'd pass it
Bridge Jump - As long as I watch my stepping and my hands aren't extremely dry like they usually are when grabbing the rope, then yes again
Log Grip - I don't know, considering I'd be pretty tired by then (so about 25-75 here)
Warped Wall - I've been practicing something similar to it on my tree (BTW, I hope to get a video of this up soon ) so maybe
Circle Slider - I have no clue, though I most likely wouldn't pass it
Tarzan Rope/Rope Ladder - I'd probably run out of time
Slider Drop - If I'm careful, then yes
Double Salmon Ladder - probably not even close; I'd probably do about as well as Jun Sato did on the original Salmon Ladder in Sasuke 24, if that
Unstable Bridge - Almost certainly not since I'd be too tired from the DSL
Balance Tank - 50-50 since I have decent balance
Metal Spin - Unlikely, despite jumping to a rope from a similar distance (i.e. rope does not equal metal chain )
Wall Lift - only if I had at least 15-20 seconds left
Roulette Cylinder - Depends on my grip
Doorknob Grasper - I'd probably pass this too as long as I didn't screw up on it like Brian Orosco did
Floating Boards - Probably no since this obstacle takes a while and I'd be too tired my that time
Ultimate Cliff Hanger - I have a better chance of winning the lottery than passing this...and I'm underage
Jumping Rings - Maybe since I'm good at the Jumping Bars
Rope Junction thingy - I'd probably be way too tired by then, though I'd put it at about 40-60
Pipe Jumper - Unless I'm crazily lucky AND still full of energy, no
Final Stage - Uhhh...we don't even know it yet

[RiderLeangle]

The Metal Spin DOES have ropes hanging and not chains.. I think you watch G4 broadcasts too often..

Oh. Well, in that case, I'd theoretically have a better chance of beating it. ;D

Well, considering I got there.

[ansem120]

To be honest, I feel like I would have a better chance of beating 25's First Stage than 24's First Stage.

That said, I can't see myself beating both the Soritatsu Kabe and the Circle Slider on my first try.

Something tells me that if I were to run right now, I would take a lot of time beating the Soritatsu Kabe, and I would end up failing the Circle Slider with 10-15 seconds to go.

Also, if by some miracle I actually beat the First Stage, I would have no prayer on the Double Salmon Ladder. Mainly because I haven't actually tried a true Salmon Ladder yet.

[Lennon]

@rider, there is always David Campbell's shrine or park or whatever he decided to call it. That's probably the best representation of the real thing as you'll get until you turn 21. I guess you and JPJuice can do it and bet there.


Oh, and I picked Jump Hang. Due to not having really any experience on a trampoline. If I beat that, probably the Circle Slider for about the same reason. No experience on a springboard.

Doesn't matter. Which ever one of us gets further in the obstacle course gets 30. You in? Its a few years away, but I remember these things.

[jfeathe]

I'd probably fail the Jump Hang. My upper body strength is not good, but my leg strength is pretty good.

[Gavo]

I think I would fail the jump hang.

So even if we both qualify the bet would be on hold on which of us does better in Sasuke

[Badalight]

Okay, usually I go into intense detail on these things... but the answer is pretty obvoius to me.

Double Salmon Ladder.

Nothing on stage 1 scares me. I'm in track and practice on springboards everyday. I have a trampoline that is very close to Sasuke's. Warped wall is easy for me, etc... stage 1 would give me zero problems.

Yet, I highly doubt I could beat the Salmon Ladder. I built a replica recently, and even though mine is considerably harder I can still barely get up 1 rung.

I feel like on the real one I'd make a mistake somewhere, or simply pull a brian/takeda and let go from the shock.

The rest of stage 2 doesn't look all the menacing... but I cannot pass the salmon ladder as of now. Stage 3 obviously would end at the UCH.
