No, that's Stage 2. Which I can see a bit of the DSL and Unstable Bridge on, and we had drive by confirmation of Metal Spin, Slider Drop was confirmed before anything other obstacle and we've seen Wall Lift in at least 3 pics including that one so the only stage 2 mystery is Balance Tank. As for Stage 3, it's placement in the lot is before stage 1's start line, Consider where the Final Stage is in actual Sasuke, it's there. Note how you can see the Ascending Climb and Spider Flip in this shot www.majhost.com/gallery/manaleader/Sasuke/ANW4/rlgsfs.jpeg

Short youtube vid of someone running (Stops recording before the giant swing though), so Step Slider is confirmed, so Stage 1 is the same as 27 except with the Escargot replaced with the Rolling Log EDIT: Unsure why the Giant Swing has the swing locked up on the other side... maybe now it's just jump across the gap lol It's not locked up, you can only see the other side of the trapeze. For some reason both sides have bars the bar they grab onto is black. Source: The pic your last post linked to

Yep, Stage 2 is confirmed to be the same as 27 (barring minor changes). Also black/red DSL looks kinda badass

When are they ever going to change stage 2? I mean it's effective, but come on. Give us ONE new obstacle will ya? One of the biggest draws of Sasuke was that it was constantly changing. We havn't seen much changes to the course at all in awhile. Over-all, the design is still not much different from back in 18. Stage 2 has changed the least in my mind.

I expect the changes to come in 28 to shock everyone.. at least HOPE they do a full course redesign for 28.

I'm absolutely loving the course design, from a purely aesthetic point of view. The half pipe attack IMO looks the best it ever has, the third stage is given a bit more personality with the honeycomb walls and the vegas backdrop just seems to fit ANW so well. Sure it's the same old course in terms of obstacles, but god damn, it looks nice!

More pics: http://instagram.com/p/JwNJQyL--p And a humorous post (albeit spoilerish) about the event organization (check out the first reply to this one: twitter.com/#!/senatorGinty/status/194326074304368640 Seems the production today is beset by massive delays. Stop start stop start..

So, this is what just happened. Only one competitor passed stage 2 but he did not make it to the buzzer in time (He was 4 secs off). NBC is right now reshooting his run to make it look like he passed. He will be moving on to stage 3. Sorry I know this is a spoiler, but I have lost all interest with this sport. This is my one and only post. Goodbye. The only way I will believe you is if you say the competitor. Also, this post conflicts with a recent tweet.

Who is this goodbye character and why are such absurdities being pronounced?

Who is this goodbye character and why are such absurdities being pronounced? That person posted at about 7 AM EST under the name Goodbye. After I commented, they promptly deleted their account. Put on your tinfoil hats, everyone!

Wow that is awful for the integrity of the "sport." Or, maybe we can finally toss that word out and just use "reality show."
From a results standpoint that is shocking as well.

I honestly think it isn't true. In a pic that was posted earlier, You can clearly see that Paul Darnell cleared and is getting interviewed.

I am not buying this post whatsoever. I'd need to see a secondary source.
P.s. that vid that was posted earlier looks to be Brandon Douglass.
