RE: Road to American Ninja Warrior - Day 27

Need some January goals dude! Keep at it, slack lining is such a good one for the balance obstacles - those are always the most intimidating for me as is always feels like there's a that bit of luck involved!

Sort:  

Oh, I've got them... I've just got to catch up on my posts... man, the slightest little change in my routine and the whole Steem thing falls apart. If I put in a huge effort tonight I'll be back on track.

I went out in the semi-finals of AusNW because of the stupid spinning log. I was heaps confident about the following two obstacles at least. I was so annoyed with myself... but yeah, it's totally luck. The spinning log didn't claim anyone in the first 25... then they took a break to change over the audience... suddenly every 3rd person falls victim... but again, there's an element of luck there too.

Haha looking forward to reading them dude!

Ah man, I feel your pain! In the NWUK Finals the paddle boards took out 12 of us (There were only 15 in the final!!) We just kept seeing people go down and it puts you off big time. Once you see some of the crazy parcour guys bail on it, it doesn't exactly help the old confidence! Although the producers did later admit they set the bloody thing up wrong and won't be bringing it back! Not got space for a slackline at my house so I have to wait for the good weather to get it set up in the park!

Hey dude... I know this is an odd thing to ask... but can you put some thought into a January goal for me (I know it's hard because you don't know what I can do and what I've got access to) but I've love to put your name alongside my Jan goals each day...

Course man, although I'm not sure I can give you much that's new! How are you on the pegboard? Also what's your deadhang time? I guess figure 4 circuits on the pegboard and/or a two minute deadhang would be the first ones, although if you can do them already we may need to shift the benchmarks!

OMG, deadhangs are the worst! I should be good at them but I just totally struggle. It's got to be the biggest mental game out there. I'm good for 40-90 seconds at this point... but I'm already measuring dead hangs on my Monday posts.

The pegboard is a great idea. There is one at a parkour place in Portland that I've never tried because it looks terrifying... so that's a perfect goal for me! Thanks heaps!!

Ah nice, good hangtime, must have missed that on Monday!

Pegboard is great for working on lock offs, if you can get the figure 4 technique down it can genuinely help in a jam even though it doesn't look like it!

Hey, also... you may have noticed your big payouts come from the curie account. Here are the guidelines. If you've got heaps of content to come, completely ignore this... but you can't get a curie upvote if you've made $25 on another post in the last 7 days... so maybe space out your really great posts (or go for broke and build up an amazing followship)... just thought I'd like you in case you were wondering why some posts go big and others don't.

Thanks man, I have noticed their guidelines before, thing is I don't want to just do posts on the chance that they'll upvote me. I might wait a week then get no upvote from them anyway! At least by posting regularly I'm building a good followship like you said :) Hopefully anyway!! It is frustrating when you work on a 3000 word post like the one I did yesterday and meanwhile some dude with a 70 rep can post a photo of some baked beans and start trending! I guess that's the same with any platform though! Good job I'm already hooked on this place!

Awesome! I just wanted to let you know in case you were wondering why one excellent post makes a trillion dollars and another doesn't. There are a heap of factors that might count out an otherwise amazing post... but it sounds like you're pretty on top of it and got your head in the right place! Keep producing your amazing posts dude, you're one of the most exciting Steempeeps goin' round.

Really appreciate the heads up dude, it's such a toss up, on the one hand their upvotes make such a difference in terms of followers etc, but then again I'm happy just to push good content out and hopefully people take notice! Glad to hear I'm on the right track anyway :)
