I would assume some Oxygen, mixed with Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide. Maybe some Methane but that depends on what he had to eat.  When I posted, yes on the methane. Now, I'm avoiding the refried beans. They cause gas. I don't enjoy breathing methane. Back on topic, the Gliding Ring has a tendency to twist. That's probably annoying when you are holding on to it. |

But not as annoying as falling in the water.
Or breathing methane.

Personally, I'm glad the Spider Flip is easy. I mean, it replaced the devil's swing. Devil's swing was kinda tough but it wasn't so hard. Hang Climbing is hard enough so I don't see why they should make the spider flip even harder.

Well I never really thought the Spider Flip was much of a challenge, I try practice with bigger gaps and almost make them (I'm glad its not a gap between 8 and 10 foot gap) on less of or no ledge so I'm not woried about the jump, the Gliding Ring, now THATS a challenge.

I was re-watching Nagano's run and I'm fairly sure that he uses his feet at the end of the Hang Climbing. I can't screen cap it right now but can someone confirm? It's very quick but it's between the time they cut to Takeda's reaction and they show him starting on the Spider Flip.

I believe he used his feet only when he reached the Spider Flip part. Once he touched that obstacle, he used his feet whereas before that he didn't.

If I remember correctly, the Spider Flip jump is 2m and the Heartbreaker jump is 7m. The spider flip is 2m, heartbreaker is 7ft. |

Centrifugal force doesn't exist. I assume you meant centripetal?
That's only a difference of about six inches. Not really significant.

Nagano does use his feet at the end of the climb, but that's only once he got his right hand on the highest rock. [a href="  "][/a][/url] The top two shots are of him as he reaches the top rock (he just moves his right hand up) and the bottom two are after he puts his feet up and thrusts over and puts his left hand onto to the Spider Flip. |

Centrifugal force doesn't exist. I assume you meant centripetal? I rarely nitpick on this, but I will clarify. The perceived centifugal force (which is actually just tangential inertia perceived as force) is higher, which does require a much higher level of centripetal force (the gripping force holding you onto the ring). Ultimately, the amount of perceived weight that you have to hold onto the ring under those circumstances is significantly higher than your actual body weight. |
