I didn't catch the guy's name, but he had his hair cut to look like a squirrel (even had googly eyes glued to his hair where the "squirrel's" head would be. EDIT: Found a pic of the guy: link Pic #20 of 36.

I'm sure that's Jonathan Parr, whose nickname is Flying Squirrel. He competed in Houston last year.

Damn that sucks. He is one of the trainers at Iron Sports along with Sam Sann.

Just noticed Felice Herrig's run is on the channel. They even put "(BONUS)" in the title.

I can't see the video because it's not available in my country. Can anyone tell me how she did?

Can't say I'm surprised to be honest. Her fans really haven't been the best advert for her.

Add a third ring to the Ring Swing and it feels like it could be a Stage 3 starting obstacle. No. With a third ring it is too easy of an obstacle for stage 3.

Personally I see it more as a first obstacle for Stage 2. If people know they have to aim to complete it in under 30 seconds to have a good chance of clearing the stage, they will rush which could cause more fails.

Hmm, I'll say at the most one person would fail IF it were the first obstacle in Stage 2. And 30 seconds is too generous. It'll be more like 12 seconds. Believe me, I know.

Just checked the channel guide. The name of the ninth obstacle is the pinch grab. Sounds like a cliffhanger that's trying not to be a cliffhanger.

The idea of this obstacle came from the Vertical Limit? ?

My opinion: this is the laziest 9th obstacle they've ever created. I feel like it's just an I-Beam Cross with gaps. Maybe a slight cliffhanger element in the transitions. But with the 8th obstacle being the bungee road from KC las year (albeit modified), I can see at least 4 finishers in this region.
