LOL I was taken aback how he did it.. Lord knows I've been bugging the living crap out of him to ask NBC for at least one of the Sasuke stars.. it would have been better though if they did some sort of announcement for those who wanted to see him in person but couldn't the last 2 times he was here! Either way I'm happy at least they finally got him there. Still gutted for Yuuji (as he's just about admitting defeat on twitter.. so sad) but happy that Nagano was invited to AMERICAN Ninja warrior.

Judging by that pic, Giant Swing is obviously confirmed.

Poor Yuuji. He is ignored, yet again.

That's kinda cool you get a personal pic like that, congrats, and nice that we have news on it... Also I wish Yuuji went too... A two time champion deserves it... Judging by that pic, Giant Swing is obviously confirmed. Yeah, Jumping Spider too, I see the framework for it and that's the right spot, S1 seems to be the same as 27

OK, Jumping Sider, Warped Wall, Spin Bridge double confirmed, HPA confirmed (I see the rope and landing pad). Final stage looks nice. But I'm not digging the arrows on the JS for some reason... Maybe it'll look better on TV...
Also the familiar height for the JS, so same as 27

It's just red and white, look at the daytime shots, not much black to be found

OK so we have Rolling Log instead of Rolling Escargot, Giant Swing confirmed again. And the final stage still looks awesome as f**k EDIT: Oh no f***ing way... I see a bit of a wall at the end of the pic for what we can see of stage 3... please tell me they don't have the UCH with the Shin Sasuke next 3 obstacles...

Haha thanks I will. We decided to drive down to the location of the course at around 9:30ish and the Final Stage looked magnificent. The construction crew did a spectacular job. We never actually stopped while driving through because there was no way of entering but I can say that it looked like a few guys were hooking something up right at the 10 meter mark of the tower. Possible double obstacle Final Stage action? But of course, I'm no where near certain but they definately weren't securing safety cables or anything of that nature. I also can confirm the Metal Spin in the 2nd Stage and the Rope Ladder at the end of the 1st like always. (I don't believe anybody pointed those obstacle out yet) Whoever posted the picture with the rolling log beat me to it but the 1st Stage is just about the same. (Although my eye did not catch any sign of a step slider , but, again, not certain). With all things taken in I can definately say I love what they did with the designs of all of the stages (Red, White, and Black is the scheme for the 1st Stage which looked pretty wicked) and they decided to go wacky with the honey comb looking walls as they seemed to be in the 3rd Stage as well. But my favorite was definately the tower. You would think all the buildings and that giant pyramid in the background would have taken away from it but not at all. It looked stunning. Edit: One thing I wanted to add was the weird arrow pattern going on in the 1st Stage. Arrows were on everything lol

And also confirming the Wall Lift and the HPA seems to be a padded version of the 27 incarnation

Damn... if Yuuji was there, I think he would have won the whole thing again whilst making everything look pathetically easy. Too sad he didn't get to go.

The JS seems different. The spider walk portion goes up a lot more.
