I need some serious help with those springs.
I've sifted through all the technical information, scores of scientific data with charts and numbers, but in reality it's no help to me.
I watched many videos. There's a lot of guys there scoring highly by doing the "wait for a long spring" and run thing, but I think they were just lucky. When I do this, 80% of the times it works, but it still means I'm dead long before Level 7.
I also saw some of the masters getting up the ladder on a short spring - how does that even work?
Dean says he's watching the entry arc, with peripheral vision. Even when looking at the springs directly, the difference in the arc is not easily made out. And where do you stop to assess the situation? When I'm even just one step up the ladder and my eyes dart from the right to the left and by the time I found out I need to go back to the safe spot, it's already too late.
I think my reaction time and general skills are good enough to crack this, but right now I'm stuck. Any help greatly appreciated!
