Deckbuild 6th Gear April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 I think we need to consolidate all the sports tread soon, seems like alot appear lately. I tried it twice, damn expensive, if you are FAST, it's fun, as it's always near CNY where I get really lazy to train, therefore I'm always in the slow group which ends up A LOT OF WAITING! Time wasted to wait for station seriously is no joke.... Even if you skip, the penalty is still better than waiting for the obstacle. The stairs is a killer this year at the F1 pit, for the fort canning hill steep slope also another. Other than that I would say it's quite fun. If possible, try to skip the mud pool, damn dirty if you drive or ride.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckbuild 6th Gear April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 what about the 1st obstacle? The one you have to climb over the container? Is it easy? and what about the 2 sets of parrallel bars? I am not exactly tall.... I can't remember all the obstacle so u ask I will just answer. Climbing over the container used to be easier, but this one without the grip, it become very very very slippery due to too many sweaty palms, I was lucky because I'm light, I get thru it easy. Those shorter than 160cm will have problem especially the ladies. If not careful will knock on your knees as well, but if wanna join, thats the price to pay The normal parallel bars is easy, it's just like walking via hand. The 2nd one I think is stupid, it's like mission impossible for those shorter than 160cm don't have the leverage to hang in there end up just walk thru... For me, both are easy =X Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just like climbing the wall, don't really need training. Much easier than the wall I should say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinOrLim Clutched April 23, 2013 Author Share April 23, 2013 Hi Deckbuild, how about the monkey bars? I saw in youtube video that the height is quite high..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckbuild 6th Gear April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 Hi Deckbuild, how about the monkey bars? I saw in youtube video that the height is quite high..... That one is easy, they will have a platform for you to step, but make sure your hands are powdered. Damn slippery, I did twice as I slip the first time without applying powder.

Zakkwylde 5th Gear April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 That one is easy, they will have a platform for you to step, but make sure your hands are powdered. Damn slippery, I did twice as I slip the first time without applying powder. U got no issue running up fort canning? That to me is the killer. Actually the running is ok. But when fatigue sets in, even a simple task like the monkey bar and parallel bar becomes insurmountable...Well based on my experience. Maybe its me because I don't train ;) ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
