Probably the only sasuke qualities I have are speed and balance. Im fairly strong but not nearly as strong to pass Stage 3 Sadly, im only 16 so I have to wait 5 years of agony before I can run the course And by then, the whole course will either be redesigned or there will be no more sasuke

Its a good and bad thing though.

Dome Steps - Honestly, this obstacle scares me a bit since it's the first obstacle and I'd probably be nervous as hell, but I know I could pass it as long as I'm not having a nervous breakdown haha.
Rolling Log - I'd probably pass this. I have great grip strength, and I know to use my legs and hold on tight, so I think I could pass this.
Jump Hang - This would probably be the first real tough obstacle for me, because I'm always nervous about the jump and grab obstacles. But on a good day, I'm pretty confident I'd pass it. I can get a much better long jump than high jump, so I'd probably try to aim far and low and avoid hitting the water.
Bridge Jump - I think this obstacle is easy to underestimate. But I feel I could pass it as long as I'm super careful.
Log Grip - Yea. I'd pass this. This one can be underestimated, but I'm very confident I'd pass this one.
Warped Wall - I'm pretty sure I could pass this. I'm tall (a little over 6'0") which is an advantage right there. And I've practiced wall runs and whatnot. If I didn't get it my first try, I'd probably just use the "run up a little, then back, then go for the top of the wall" technique to get up the wall.
Circle Slider - This is the obstacle I'm pretty sure would take me out. Even though I'm tall, I don't have any experience with springboards, and like I said earlier, I don't have a great vertical jump which is key to this obstacle IMO. Maybe I could get really lucky, and Kenji Takahashi it. But for the sake of this thread I said I'd fail here.
Rope Ladder - only thing to worry about here would be the time.
Slider Drop - I'd just be careful with the bar, and I'd be fine for this obstacle.
Double Salmon Ladder - Even though I have explosive pull-up strength and have practiced for the Salmon Ladder in a variety of ways, I have never built a Salmon Ladder replica, so I would probably fail here in Stage 2.
Unstable Bridge - This obstacle isn't too hard, but the endurance makes this one an issue. But I feel I could pass it.
Balance Tank - Balance isn't my strong point, but I have been working on it a lot recently. And I think the key is to keep your center of gravity a little bit forward and not lean back in any way like Kanno did. So I think I could pass it.
Metal Spin - I can get a good long jump and have great grip for grabbing onto ropes, so I think I could pass it.
Wall Lift - Yea I'd pass it. Only thing that would be troublesome would be time.
Roulette Cylinder - I could pass this obstacle but it would probably tire me out a lot.
Doorknob Grasp - I could pass this obstacle too, but I'd probably be extremely tired after two obstacle combination.
Floating Boards - This honestly worries me a lot. Even though my grip for grabbing onto ropes and hanging off ledges is very good, my pinch grip strength is a bit mediocre. So I could see myself failing this in the third stage. But hopefully on a good day, I could at least make it to the Ultimate Cliffhanger.
Cliffhanger - If I'd be lucky enough to get up to the third ledge, which I honestly think I could do. I plan on building a replica to the third ledge anyway. I would probably go out on the little tiny gap. When my upper body endurance is drained, I've noticed I have a tougher time positioning my hands to regrab something. I don't know why. So yea I'd definitely fail there.
I don't really know for sure how the rest of the obstacles work, so I'll stop there. Damn, that was a long post. Anyway, even though I listed every obstacle shown, I put I'd go out on the Circle Slider, so don't start bashing me haha.

Dome Steps - I can pass this Rolling Log - 50/50, I dont know why but i see myself failing this Jump Hang - I trained for the jumping spider so i think i can pass this Bridge Jump - As long as I dont trip at the start then i will clear Log Grip - Same as Rolling Log Warped Wall - I think i can do it because i have trained for it Circle Slider - idk but if i do, it will probably be like kenji Tarzan Rope/Rope Ladder - I will time out Slider Drop - If i dont do a levi then i will clear Double Salmon Ladder - I could get to the top of the first ladder but after than i will be too tired and fail Unstable Bridge - I would fail no matter what Balance Tank - I will clear but i wont get this far Metal Spin - 20/80 No that great with ropes Wall Lift - clear easily if i have time Roulette Cylinder - idk but probably clear Doorknob Grasper - clear Floating Boards - idk but i think i can clear Ultimate Cliff Hanger - i would pull a terek Jumping Rings - I can do the jumping bars so most likely Rope Junction thingy - Not that great with ropes but i can still clear Pipe Jumper - I can do the jumping bars but i will still fail Final Stage - I suck at climbing rope so fail
I said LOG GRIP

Dome Steps - No problem Rolling Log - A danger, but so long as I hang on properly it shouldn't be a problem Jump Hang - Again, no problem. Just not sure whether or not to go Bunpei style. Bridge Jump - Easy. I do more difficult footwork in PK training Log Grip - Same as Rolling Log Warped Wall - No problem thanks to wallrun training Circle Slider - Could be dodgy, but assuming I hit the springboard alright, it shouldn't be a problem. I've been training for it. Tarzan Rope/Rope Ladder - Also not a problem for me Slider Drop - Clear Double Salmon Ladder - I'm not sure about this one. So long as my hands dont get sweaty too quickly (a big problem for me), then I think I'd be strong enough to do it Unstable Bridge - Same as above Balance Tank - Clear Metal Spin - Again, shouldn't be a problem as I've done a lot of jump/grab training Wall Lift - Easy clear Roulette Cylinder - Hands are far more likely to get sweaty here, so I might slip off. Depends how effective SASUKE sticky spray really is (any info on this?) Doorknob Grasper - Clear Floating Boards - I'd be a bit tired at this point, but I think I could clear it Ultimate Cliff Hanger - If I weren't tired at all, I could get to the tiny ledge (I've been practising the large gap between 2nd and 3rd ledges), but considering I'd be physically exhausted, I'm pretty sure I'd fail here. Assuming my arms weren't exhausted for the following (since there's no way I'd beat UCH just yet): Jumping Rings - Done lots of swing jump practice, so I could do this one Rope Junction thingy - Quite an easy one, could do it Pipe Jumper - Almost definitely a fail here Final Stage - Just fail. No rope climbing technique whatsoever.
Overall judgement: my best possible outcome would be UCH, assuming I didn't mess any of the obstacles up before it.

With them bringing back the Rolling Maruta, that's the main one I'm worried about as far as my grip will be concerned.
Other thing I'm worried about as well is the Jump Hang to make sure I can hit the trampoline just right.
The last thing I'm worried is the Circle Slider since when dealing with the springboard......don't know too much about it myself and will probably trampoline it instead of just giving myself a spring.

Rider: I highly doubt you'd pass the circle slider with no practice on it. Infact your trampoline practice might be your downfall here because you're too used to that technique.
it takes a lot of practice to get those things down. Just come watch one of my track practices. You can tell which of our jumpers have more practice than the others. We have people who can barely jump 5 feet, and others who can get up to 7. Practice makes perfect. You'd pull a Ryo on your first try.
Also all of your "salmon ladder" training doesn't count for much. I have done the same things as you in regards to that, yet when I made my real replica it's much different than you'd expect.

Although it's obviously a joke (I hope), I love how someone always votes "Kanzenseiha". Classic. Also, jump hang- 67.4/32.6 clear That's creepily specific. ALSO, 800th post. I post too much LOL.

Realistically, I think I would drain all my energy on the Warped Wall. Even then, the Circle Slider would be my undoing.
Then again, the Jump Hang is always brutal, but I'm not exactly a couch potato.
So I'd say I'd fail the Circle Slider.

lol. Who voted Kanzensheiha? I did, cuz honestly, every single person here over-estimates themselves. So really, i always vote kazenseiha on these Not me...I said that I'd fail the second obstacle. But for the most part, you're right. Other than a few of us on here, most people think they'll go farther than they probably will.

Would be interesting to see which category people think I'd fit into lol But I agree, almost everybody overestimates themself, and underestimates the course. Hence why I try to compensate for both as much as I can... well... usually ^_^

Dome Steps: Clear ( No questions asked, I have great balance) Rolling Log: 50/50 but I think I would clear Jump Hang: If I get the right distance then clear Bridge Jump: Clear (See Dome Steps) Log Grip: 50/50 but I think I can clear Warped Wall: Unknown (Never tried one though I am fairly tall) Circle Slider: 60/40 (I have expeirence with spring boards so maybe) Tarzan Rope/Rope Climb: Clear (Only if I get up the WW in 2 or less tries) First Stage Outcome: 40% Clear : 60% Fail
Slider Drop: Clear (Just keep it steady) DSL: 30/70: Most likely fail (i can't make the distance between the 2 ladders as of now) Unstable Bridge: Clear (Most frequently trained obstacle) Balance Tank: Clear Metal Spin 50/50 (Most Likely Clear) Wall Lift Clear (If there is 15-20 seconds left) Second Stage Outcome: 70% Clear : 30% Fail
Roulette Cylindar: Clear (I have fairly good grip and endurance so 90/10) Doorknob Grasper: EPIC FAIL (Build one ._.) Floating Boards: Fail (I'll make a mistake somehow) UCH: Fail (No questions asked) Jumping Rings: Probably Clear Rope Junction: Fail (I'll be too tired) Jumpn' Pipe: Fail (I'd most likely over jump it 3rd Stage Outcome: Fail 100%
4th Stage: Unknown

Sorry to break it to ya guys, but from wht ive seen the only people who post/read the board who can pass stage 1 are: Oti David Keita Venom and on most days i can see Chris and Brian (Unclesam and Baron) beating stage 1 (log grip could take out both)

Don't leave me out pal. just because I don't have as much chance at the later stages as the others doesn't mean I can't kick some stage 1 a**.
I don't see anything that would give me even remote difficulty.
Dome steps: easy
Rolling log: easy
Jump hang: Have almost the same trampoline that I practice on, easy.
Warped wall: Easy. I'm tall and can go up vertical walls of that heigth
Log grip: Easy if Mr. Octopus and Luci Romberg can do it.
Circle Slider: I'm on springboards every day
Tarzan Rope: *yawn*
The only unknown is the new bridge obstacle. I believe I could pass it but we havn't seen much of it so I just didn't adress it.
Now the salmon ladder would kick my asss.. but stage 1 is almost a cake walk.
