How do you think Kacy would have done on the St. Louis course?

How do you think Kacy would have done on the St. Louis course? I hate to say this but I'm thinking the rolling log would have flattened her. Just be glad she went to Dallas instead! XD

How do you think Kacy would have done on the St. Louis course? She did everything so slow and controlled that I think she is adaptable enough to have completed any of the finals courses. She never even looked like failing anything in Dallas!

I don't think she would have passed Cannonball Alley in Venice or the Crazy Cliffhanger in St. Louis. Yeah that's valid. She hasn't really had a chance to showcase it but she has supreme grip strength and obviously carries no weight. Seen clips of her smashing the ultimate cliffhanger at the Alpha Warrior gym. I think she deffs would have gotten to that last ball on Cannonball Alley. Its just so damn cool to see a chick smashing it harder than 85% of the dudes.

She has trained on and finished a replica of the Ultimate Cliff Hanger multiple times, the crazy cliffhanger looked like a piece of cake compared to it. No leaping from ledge to ledge. But Cannonball Alley would have crushed her for sure, unless maybe she got creative and pulled something out of her a** like Kevin Bull.

Kacy was clearly the highlight and so impressive, I hope she gets recognized so she can get into stunts like she wants to.

I've been lurking around on different subreddits to see the reactions to Kacy's run (most notably /r/videos, /r/fitness, /r/2Xchromosomes, and /r/newjersey). Most reactions seem to be positive, but I can't help but notice all the misinformation that is going around.
Most people in those subreddits seem to be under the impression that Kacy beat ANW (which she did not, she only completed the Dallas regional finals course so far) and that the course she ran is the national finals course (which is not since it's only the Dallas regional finals and resulted in a lot of other people saying that ANW's Mt. Midoriyama is way easier compared to Sasuke's Mt. Midoriyama.
I hope these people stick around to watch the national finals so that this misinformation is cleared up.

From years of watching both shows and reading the comments sections (usually setting me in rage mode) I've noticed that no.. it only gets worse. Between NBC over-hyping EVERYTHING and creating their own misinformation, to fans not doing their homework, to rumors being spread as fact, there's literally no way for that kind of misinformation to die down. People who have only seen clips of the show speak like they know both shows' history and whatnot and speak loudly on social media helping the misinformation to spread. It's sadly the nature of social media and the instant audience you get from tweets/Facebook/reddit, etc. and the "well I heard" (or worse) "I read on the internet" perpetuating myth. Unless someone truly becomes a fan of the show and follows it (and makes their OWN judgments) this will continue to happen and get worse. My only hope in all of this is that between the social media comments you get true fans of the show(s). We were all "new" once to shows so I usually cut those a break since in their euphoria people tend to get quick-fingered in writing out how awesome it is without checking if anything they are saying is true. True fans will know the difference.

How far do you think kacy would go on stage 1,2 and 3 . I say she has a chance of completing stage 1 and maybe even 2

Having competed and finished the St louis course, im confident saying she could have gotten to the rumbling dice. I dont know if she would have gotten past it. The cliffhanger she would have cruised through.

Actually, if they have it, I had a dream that she failed the Half Pipe Attack,

If the JS is the same as last year she won't make it. If she does though, I think she'll time out considering it took her like 10 minutes to finish the Dallas finals course.

I say she fails the Jumping Spider. +1 that, unless they made the JS easier this year (I hope they did), in which case probly a timeout on the Warped Wall.

A lot of disscusion not related to the episode surprised the moderators haven't said anything. Oh we'll. My two cents the JP is most likely going to be hard or harder then last year otherwise I could see most of the competitors finishing stage 1 as opposed to a quarter

No way the JS is going to be harder. Took out like over 50% of the field last time (Shieff, Stratis, Laflair in ANW4, Frosti x2) The thing is a killer. They shouldn't make it easier but they can't make it any harder! I think Kacy is out on any obstacle after the first. Not big enough jump on the Giant Cycle like last year (she missed the tramp almost completely last year but even if she gets a good jump it will still be difficult for her)OR she will be too short for the JS.

For NO REASON should the course ever be made easier. It just means the competitors need to train harder.
