I seriously don't get why the gliding ring was made a lot easier in 22. I would rather see the gliding ring in 21 again cause it was like the pipe slider.

Worked better as a last obstacle in 21.
Hang Climbing is the last real obstacle now...

Personally, I think its find with the way its described. Because guys, if it was like in 21, the ring would be level with the pad. No way you can swing that big ring enough to get the angle you need to make it. It's called gliding ring, it glided didn't it? There you go the name fits now.

Ditto. It's irrelevant how it behaved in 21, it's the gliding ring, not the pain in the a** shimmying and sticking ring.

Worked better as a last obstacle in 21. Hang Climbing is the last real obstacle now... we underestimate the obstacles so much, yes the gliding ring was a lot easier than it was in 21, the only reason we see sumone clear it thought is b/c the level of competition is so much higher than it was when the pipe slider was being used....hell its a lot higher than 18, i mean its at the point now were probably 15-20 people if they got to stage 3 would have a good chance of beating it. I believe A) poor nagano and B) the gliding ring is tougher than the pipe slider...its still a very tough obstacle...Yuji just performed it perfectly |

Honestly, all I think they need to do to the Gliding Ring now is just move back the mat about half a foot...
But, I will say that I don't think it is harder than the Pipe Slider. Maybe with the stopper gone it is because one might not have control on where they are, but I think that it isn't as tough because you can just glide down the track and use momentum to carry you, not much of an upper-body strength obstacle.

Wow, I like Nagano and all but this is moving into New England Patriots fan territory.
The obstacle now does what it's supposed to do. End of story. We move on to 23 and see what happens.

Giants!
The weird thing is that I'm also a Red Sox fan(except when the play the White Sox)
Go Bears!
Anyway, putting alliances aside, the change is actually better, now it's beatable.

Either change it back to the way it was in 21, or don't put a rest on it.
because seriously, after the spider flip jump all you have to do is climb down... that's like half of an obstacle. That's too easy. So you get 2 breaks near the end.
And then an easy finishing obstacle? That's stupid. If they get a break before it, and before that you do an easy obstacle, the final obstacle should be hard.
If you had to do the 2nd part of the spider flip AND the gliding ring, then I agree with the change.

The Spider Flip is basically a non-obstacle, if the gap was wider than maybe.

Now, let's not talk about who' going to make the playoffs(expects Jim Mora references). Even though the Bears will win the Super Bowl.

Poor Nagano. That's all I'll say.

Was the new ring looking too easy to you guys? Come on guys if you can get past the cliffhanger alone you deserve the break from the strain so the ring slides easy for you. That doesn't change the fact that the jump is HUGE, Yuuji almost didn't make it.
