I'm still sticking with the number on his chest theory Yeah scnoi disagree on this point theehhehehe hopefully someone gets an answer from Levi about the number and how far he got before they recalled him. That way we can get resolution to this. Though I do agree that Aoki is far from un-cuttable but given that they showed the other 2 (even without numbers) it just seemed a little odd to now show him given that Levi had his number. The only reason we are even bothering to think that is that Aoki was given Levi's OLD number thus causing the controversy in the first place (obviously IMO).

Yeah they don't explain s*** to you, iot sucks. I was asking questions about the rules when I was there and couldn't get a straight answer. For example I asked if I could hang by my knees on the gliding ring if I wanted to rest my arms, and they were like..."hmmm well that would probably be ok I guess, I'm not sure though." I asked other questions and never really got very definate answers.
I saw someone get disqualified for holding onto the steps like in the picture above and he seemed to not know that was illegal (and he was Japanese!!!), but then if you watch Sasuke old and new episodes, there are people that use their hands and it's no big deal.
I think they just make it up as they go.

David you must have shocked the crap out of TBS when you asked that question.. I'm sure they were going wtf.. we didn't think that... LMFAO!!!

Hmmm, I was suprised as well of the absence of flips...should have thought something unusual happened Yeah they don't explain s**t to you, iot sucks. I was asking questions about the rules when I was there and couldn't get a straight answer. For example I asked if I could hang by my knees on the gliding ring if I wanted to rest my arms, and they were like..."hmmm well that would probably be ok I guess, I'm not sure though." I asked other questions and never really got very definate answers. LOL I've been wondering about that on the Pipe Slider for ages..haha.

Why M9, why did you make such a crap rule. If you need to use your hands so be it. Some of the most memorable Steps clears were from unlikely competitors who struggled and flung themselves through the obstacle.
This is very similar to the guy in Bamboo Derby 1 who skipped a single step on the Staircase obstacle and was stripped of his kanzenseiha and prize money. Both were stupid rules, but one ended in disaster and Levi's ruling fortunatley went in his favor.

No, Aoki wasn't shown.. He might have finally passed an obstacle and we'd never know it... And I assume the Dome Steps hand rule is new.. That or they just let Kuramochi go in 16 because they didn't want to feel bad about it and he wasn't going to pass the stage anyways XD (Also.. Shame on you guys not having a JET/Golden Sun (have they shown anything besides 24?) of 16..) Wait what abut hang glider man he got disclified fr the short cut on steps can you find that picture

If there's no way to prove that the rules were explicitly stated, then really there's no other option. Denying him a 2nd chance smacks of unfairness and could end up being a major diplomatic gaffe.
See, this is why God created copy machines. I know it's Japan and all, but Monster 9 really needs to stop going on the Honor System.

I'd like to know why Levi even needed to use his hands to pass that. A pro free runner can't pass some curved steps using just his feet?

It was... erratic, to say the least. I can definitely see him doing that same thing on the Dome Steps and slipping a little.

If you knew there was no recording of Sasuke Maniac, WHY ASK FOR A PICTURE? because rider is GOD... of getiing SASUKE Pictures But there is NO RECORDING, our best bet would be hoping Arsenette blogged on the episode with Harashima's step DQ and provided a pic with it. If she has no picture then the so called "picture god" would have no way to find it, plus, he only finds pics in his majhost I'm sorry for getting this off-topic a bit, just something I had to discuss.
