sorry if already posted.

the eliminator looks harder than the original.

i think these contestants go all out on the first part, that they are spent for the last half (which are harder courses imo), you can probably take your timeon the swimming and cargo and pace yourself

 

[shuges]

My only question about the Eliminator is that when it comes to the hand-bike, why don't the contestants just jump down into the pit? There seems to be nopenalty for falling off. So why not just jump into the pit instead of expending energy on the hand-bike, barrel roll, etc...?

 

[dman14]

^ i think you have to climb back up the course?

i think i can run that course in 1:45

Exactly what my brother and I said.

 

[darthska]

^ Because the QUICKEST thing to do is to hang on to the barrel through the barrel roll and use the hand-bike through that event.

But quickest isn't always easiest.

And the problem I'm seeing so far with that hand-bike is that people are thinking it's just an upper body thing.

I've done that before, and it is NOT an upper body exercise. It is full body, in every sense of the word. You HAVE to synchronize your hands with youropposite leg, and KICK.

So far, everyone I've seen has had their lower body either dead or just convulsing out of sync with their attempt at pedaling with their hands.

You sync your hand with your legs and you fly across that thing; bet that.

We'll see someone do it right, and I guarantee, that person will do exactly what I'm saying.

Right now? Sure.

After fighting a bunch of bodybuilding 'roiders for an hour, and one gay guy you're desperately trying to avoid spandex-to-spandex contact with? Idon't think so.

First bold: Yup. I've done it before as well and it's much easier when you synchronize your hand and leg movements.

Second bold: Yeah, Militia didn't seem too bothered when homeboy was giving him a wedgie.

And I agree that the Eliminator is tough. It's an impressive course. A thirty foot climb while soaking wet probably feels as if you're carrying twiceyour weight. The barrel roll distorts you. The hand-bike further tires your arms (after the 30 ft climb). The pyramid climb seems easy but the"bricks" are so huge that you're taking big steps as well as using your arms to climb them. And the dreaded travelator at that steep incline hasGOT to be murder at the end.

I like the show. I'm sure the ratings were good.

 

[darthska]

^ I swear, that Travelator is the highlight of the show at this point. Got these fools out there stumbling drunk trying to pull it off.

 

[slow motion g35]

So much laughs from the show I can hardly breathe, really entertaining and didn't realize how much I missed it. Hope it sticks around, much better thenthose reality shows....Big Borings.
