Going off topic very briefly, does anybody know how tall he is? He looks particularly small up against the Warped Wall replicas. Or are some of them bigger than the real thing?

He looks short and I imagine the Warped Walls are built bigger than they need to be.

He's short.. he's like Nagano short.. but a lot lighter.. 161 cm (about 5'3) / 52 kg (115 lbs) (To compare.. Nagano's numbers in Sasuke 21 were 162 cm / 62 kg) ramblingrican.blogspot.com/2008/11/sasuke-21-full-competitors-list.html

Well Oti's and arsenette's combined answers would explain it ^_^ I was worried for a second that I'd grievously underestimated the height of the Warped Wall (despite having checked it's height multiple times with a tape measure (yes, I do know it's 5m 20cm))

I still don't get that height. It doesn't seem that big.

He posted a separate video on his blog that's not on Youtube (yet I'm sure). unlimitedcliffer.blog112.fc2.com/blog-entry-49.htmlSeems they are trying to get the ledge even further but Ryo missed his attempt in this video. P.S. Matsuda's cat is totally Kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiii

LOL He added yet another! This time Takeda narrating while he does his run in the same festival in Gifu last year. I got a partial translation (basically the gist) of wtf Takeda was yapping about.. since he really was talking a lot. The basic gist was that he was extremely apologetic. 12 guys came from the Tokyo Area (All of UNCLI and I'm sure a bunch of STQ'ers) and only 3 were allowed to be on the actual course. Ryo of course was one of them. He took time to apologize to them via Ryo for making them come all this way only to not be part of the course. He is in awe of what they do and it was rough that he couldn't get them all to compete on the course.

this is absurb! he is making it look too easy Why do i get the feeling that the organisers are trying their best to keep UNCLI guys out of sasuke? i hope i am just over suspicious...are they just afraid that these guys just come & pawn the course ( especially stage 3 ) ... making M9 look stupid? i think i heard Urushihara gave a thumbs up & said "very easy!" after destroying shin-cliff in 22. Imagine having all 5 of them doing the same & monster9 will be very embarassed! Ok, no basis here so i hope i am wrong LOL

On the Muscle Park video, Listen carefully, theres a familiar tune playing on the radio/speakers/whatever. (ironically enough it's hard to hear until after he finishes XD)

The Muscle Park time attack was insane. LOL hello Yuuji!!
P.S. lol at the guy's Santa hat, too. And, Elsie, any idea on who's the kid screaming in the other rope climbing video?

No idea what or who the kid is screaming in the 3rd video. And obviously not knowing Japanese I can't understand what the guys are telling him after he does the Time attack.. maybe he missed the time he was aiming for?

Sorry I missed that only because I was concentrating on what they were telling him.. I'm almost positive Ryo cursed so I think he missed the fastest time.

Well I kind of mentioned it was on the radio/speakers/whatever XD And now that you mention it I think you're right, sounded like he said "kuso" (I think that's the right word) which would pretty much translate to "$#!+" (I could have said the actual way of saying it but it's funnier like that XD)

OMFG on the Muscle Park video...that's just ridiculous, even for Ryo. I can't imagine how in the world UNCLI member #5 went even faster! Oh, and you're right about the Santa hat, arty, that was kind of funny. I didn't even know that Japanese people celebrated/recognized Christmas.

They seem to love the holiday From what I understand it's becoming more popular and it's another reason for them to give gifts to each other. I am surprised Keitaro "Mr. Pessimistic" Yamamoto went faster (and perfected since that's after all how you get the top time - you have to succeed as well) but it's good that he is training hard and succeeding in his training! Makes me excited for Sasuke Trials for Sasuke 25 if they are doing this well. 23 Trials was a kick in the arse to UNCLI since most of them were out of shape and resting on their laurels. I assume we will see revenge of UNCLI in 25. Btw.. anyone catch that they allowed them to bring towels to clean off their hands? LOL
