Old Jumping Bars > New Jumping Bars I agree that the old Jumping Bars were tough (they took out Nagano and Koji, after all), but I happen to think it'd be trickier to have to jump TO the first bar with these new Jumping Bars. But hey, no one's failed the new version yet. |

But hey, no one's failed the new version yet. well ofcourse they're harder, there were 6. the jumping spider would be harder is it was 2M longer. salmon ladder would be harder if there were 2 more paars of notches ect.. and jumping bars r ment to tire you. I mean its almost like a drop. 5ft away and i thnk its a 30cm down i think. so a swing or to, then drop and grab. its really an energy waster |

Thing is really does stage 3 now really need to be any harder than 14s? it still took 4 tournaments for someone to clear that version only change was the jumping bars were shortened in 16 onward.
Its balanced about right now to be honest plus if they went way too overboard no one would ever pass and no one would ever get a shot at the tower which is where the gold is!

Exactly 19 and 20 almost killed it the show is on its way back up slowly and it needs to keep producing decent results for this to go on as long as possible.

Id' think maybe like you have 1 minute to rest and they time it, after that they tell you to go so you take a few more seconds to actually start the obstacles. That way people don't take like 3-4 minutes (nagano) before starting the next obstacle.
I know on my obstacle course I do at home (Junsei Ryou) I give contestants a leaniant 30 seconds before the next obstacle, if you arn't ready you can take up to a minute but if you arn't starting the obstacle by then you're disqualified, and I give htem updates on how much time they have left.
But I'd rather them just make a few harder obstacles than do that.
After I make my globe grasp tommoro, I can pretty effectively gauge how easy/hard the first 4 obstacles are.
I have a cliffhanger, normal globe grasp, and devil steps, so I'll do all 3 in order to see how tiring it is.
