We’ll see the conclusion of Stage One AND the start of Stage Two - ANWNation.Considering that we only have 68 competitors in Vegas this year when it's usually 85+, I wonder if night two including stage two runs means that we have a bunch of stage two clears yet again. Either that or they're trying extra hard to show every stage 2/3 run in full. |

I know most of the course for stage 2
1.Steps obstacle
2.Salmon Ladder variation
3.V Formation
4.Leaping obstacle with ledges and a rope swing
5. Air Surfer
6. Falling Shelves
Anybody have any predictions to what the SL will be like, and how many we’ll see in Stage 3?

Seems this will be more speed based than it used to be which is great. We'll see if it really is in a bit. |

Alright I can't get enough of High Road successes. It's such a tough move to pull off and the reward is sooooo high. Great, GREAT choice this year to add this in.

Seeing it in play, this actually is a pretty well made course. It's upper body but speed focused, and nothing too over the top that seems obvious right now. ANW came to play this season.

I got a kick out of Brian Burkhardt's lawyer bit because actual Texas lawyer commercials look like these...

Anybody notice that the new Salmon Ladder looks like it's from one of UnrealCanine's old flash games (can't remember which one)?

I like Sasuke's approach, where both Stage 1 and 2 are mix of all sorts of obstacles (strength, speed, balance, agility), but Stage 2 is a little more involved and demanding - not as open, not as overtly speedy. And by Stage 3, it really focuses on sheer physical ability, and forget about speed except to conserve your own stamina. ANW has Stages 1 and 3 pretty well sorted out, but I feel like they're still struggling with the identity of Stage 2. |

Considering past stage 2's, this is the best one they've done so far with the format they've had. ANW has mainly been an upper body focus so it's no surprise it's turned stage 2 into upper body and speed. Gotta keep in mind this is NOT Sasuke, it's its own thing at this point. |
