You're right time limit is to small at my course.It should be 80 seconds.

I'd say put back the second Unstable Bridge board, tone down the jets on the Backstream, replace the Spider Walk with the Balance Tank. Make the time limit 100 seconds. Also lower the Passing Walls third wall, or put the "teeth" that are on the first wall on that as well. Cross Slider is more or less useless, but that's all I can think of for this course.

Also, how cool would it be if there were 5 SUPER easy obstacles, ALL AFTER the Backstream! not at all

I honestly hate the backstream. Like other people have said, swimming is a skill, and some people can do it much better than others. But when you have to tone it down for certain competitors, it REALLY takes away the integrity of the Sasuke name and makes everything look ridiculous.
If I had to design it, I would do it like this:
Downhill jump with the chain reaction following the end of the chain, making it so that competitors need to balance themselves and then be quick on the 2nd chain.
Swap salmon ladder followed by the stick slider
Bring back the Sasuke 23 unstable bridge
Metal Spin
Wall Lifting
Time limit: 100 seconds.
It may sound ridiculous, but I'd love to see it.

Least we can all agree it needs something different. Backstream wont go anywhere. To get rid of it now would be admitting the obstacle was a bad idea. Unstable bridge and SSL need redesigns, things are ugly. If they replace the UB, I'd like to see Rumbling Dice and a new obstacle starting stage 3. Move jumping spider back in to stage 1 and have a 2 Meter body prop without gaps instead of the spider walk. I'd like to see the ASEAN cup lifting walls with the 4 set. Get rid of that silly passing wall. Maybe evolve the obstacle with walls you have to go over mixed with ones you have to lift.
Cross Slider> Swap Salmon Ladder> Rumbling Dice> Body Prop> Backstream> Up and Under Walls.
In my mind Stage 1 is speed, stage 3 is strength but stage 2 should be speed+strength. In this way, bringing back old stage 3 obstacles with a stage 2 time limit would make great future second stages. The Sasuke Open proved that some old stage 3 obstacles are easily completed with in seconds.

There were quite a few one-time obstacles in the history of Sasuke, many of them in the second stage:
Tackle Machine (Sasuke 5) Ledge Walk (Sasuke 6) Grip Hang (Sasuke 16) Net Bridge and Shoulder Walk (Sasuke 18) Skywalk (Sasuke 19)
There's nothing wrong with admitting an obstacle is a bad idea when the obstacle is truly terrible. I'd honestly prefer to see any of the above obstacles over the Backstream (yes, even the Shoulder Walk which still causes me to shutter).
I'd like to see the Backstream be removed and replaced with the Metal Spin, the Spider Walk upgraded to the original Sasuke 1-4 design, and the original Wall Lift replace whatever that thing they have now is. The time limit should be increased to 110-130 seconds. I think with this course you'd get a fair number of people to the Metal Spin which is always a nail-biter regardless of the competitor. Here's how it would go:
1) Cross Slider 2) Swap Salmon Ladder + 3) Unstable Bridge (just 1) 4) Spider Walk (Sasuke 1-4 version) 5) Metal Spin 6) Wall Lift (Sasuke 1-17, 19-27 version)
