btw the riddle of the walls.. seems they used sandbags to keep them from guillotine'ing down Semi's are tonight so noone has Vegas spots yet. Yeah, one of my sources said the walls had counterweights and pulleys for safety, which made the obstacle easier, the last wall was supposedly 110 pounds but actually felt more like 80 because of the counterweights... BTW, based on This pic, Personally I would think if you can go a notch or two up past the white notch on the salmon ladder, it'd be a good idea so you're getting some momentum from the start on Cycle Road so you don't lose as much energy there struggling for momentum, sure an extra SL notch would take energy too but it's better than getting stuck. Just my little tip to those in the NE semis

You guys are finding information that I don't even have, and I was THERE. I didn't know Grandpa Ninja made it. Love that dude, gotta find him. Is he NE or SE?

how many of the top 30 in the SE cleared? Heading out for the evening but I was told NE was significantly weaker than SE by comparison. Unsure by comparison to the other regions but something like half of the 30 in NE even cleared while SE was significantly stronger. That's all I know.

haha also, at one point a big fat dude in a batman mask ran onto the course and got to the second quad step before falling, then got out and ran off into campus. Nobody really tried to stop him because everyone was laughing so hard. I don't think it got on tape so it will probably not make the show lol.

well I heard a lot of talk about the SW being much stronger than the NW and that was not the case at all.

Good for him, that should get him through Id imagine. He has always been a really genuine, solid guy when Ive been to Miami Pk. Im not as much of a fan as I am an aspiring competitor, but I really hope he does well!
Everyone was saying those salmon ladder rungs looked really close. Im not surprised he took the first 2 in one jump.

Don't you DARE touch my Angela. I didn't, but she touched me (nothing not G-rated). She's nice. She does have difficulty putting on a straight face after you make her laugh, though. The lightning in Miami looks to be about the same as it was in Dallas. The area they filmed in Dallas didn't have as much greenspace around it, but it give a greater sense of "wow, this is epic".

I agree about Angela. She's really nice and seems like an actual real person, not just a pretty TV face.

Question any women make it far? According to one of my sources no, He's unsure if any made it past the jump hang and if any did they failed the jumping bars.
