[Hide Comment] There's enough space for pads without blocking the trail for this one. I wondered if something broke, it seemed much harder than 72-inch. Jan 8, 2022

[Hide Comment] Barely there feet is correct. Based on the description I think Ken Tanaka's video is skipping the first move which I think might be the hardest move on the problem. May 29, 2026
