Stage 1: 5th Obstacle

[kiminonawasasuke]

After the gone of Half Pipe Attack in Season 7, we have seen some tries at this position like Sonic Curve, Parkour Run and recently Tire Run (Jeep Run for season 10 promotion)

* HPA is still my best from Shin-SASUKE, but I know it will be easy for competitors nowadays.

* Sonic Curve is a normal obstacle, not too good not too bad, but I dont like it because you can run quite slow and still can grab the rope, whereas in HPA you must run in a decent speed otherwise you will be drag down by the curve wall.

* Parkour Run was expeceted to be a harder version of Sonic Curve, but it turned out to be extremely easy as no one even failed, bonus the shortcut to skip last steps and the rope so no ways I prefer it.

* Tire Run is somewhat good in my thought, but the obstacle is quite too long and it is quite stale now (has been there for 3 tournaments).



So what will you design for 5th obstacle in National Finals Stage 1? Modifying the current ones we have or change to another type of obstacle (like balance obs, etc..)

They would probably never do it but I would like the half pipe attack to return. I’ve never tried this obstacle. Competitors are more talented nowadays but it’s still a hard obstacle that requires one opportunity to grab the rope and time the drop to the platform.

Yep, I honestly think it returning for the first time in eight years would make it adequately difficult again. Plus, you can’t go below zero fails, which Parkour Run had!
