That whole thing with Apple Bloom and Rainbow Dash doing extreme sports stuff, while not too unreasonable for Rainbow's ideas of things to do for a cutie mark, might've also come out of the early pitch bible. The pitch bible describes a story outline in which "Appleseed" is trying to do this sort of thing and eventually shoots herself out of a cannon, something I'll have to talk more about once we get to Sonic Rainboom. Still, it's interesting how that's a thing that eventually got ascribed more to Scootaloo.

When I discovered the show this was the newest episode.
For me this was a little turn-off because suddenly there was "that little annoying child" that took over the show.
In hindsight I have a vastly different opinion and shifted towards the positive but at the time i had mixed feelings about this episode and the other Crusader episodes of season one.

Strange watching this one given the big 180 they did with the Cutie Mark Crusaders story.
This episode played up the idea of having kids run a gambit of tasks to try and get a cutie mark off as a laugh. Now it's what the CMC do.
