I've got 2 Questions for David ( if it's only supposed to be one use the first one)
1. The first person to clear stage one went directly before you. Did this make you more nervous or confident?
2. Assuming you stayed for stage 3 when yuuji was attempting the gliding ring did you fear it would work like Nagano's grinding ring?

What's was a typical workout for you in preparing for Sasuke? Specifically how did you train your upper body?

In the preview (either Sasuke Navi, or the 10 minute preview before, or perhaps both?) they showed a glimpse of someone climbing up the tower to draw people in. It was a shirtless dude in white shorts (unless I'm getting too old to remember), so I thought it was Hitoshi Kanno as I watched him complete the first and second stages, but as it turns out... he didn't make the final stage.
Did you get to see if he got to be one of the testers, or was it just some random tester that just happened to be shirtless and wearing white shorts?

Remember guys to please post either a name or location so David knows where you guys are from. I know I like reading that and knowing where in the country (if it even is from the USA) you guys are posting questions from.

I'm curious about your treatment over there. From what we glimpse on TV it seems that the other contestants and even the audience has really embraced the American contestants. How do you feel our American competitors are recieved over there? The fans truly embracing each of you as well as the other contestants, and even the Allstars? How did you deal with the language barrier, and any funny stories with that regard during your trip over there?

After his run in SASUKE 20, Brian Orosco said of the course was "a lot more mental than he expected". Do you agree with this? If so, how did that affect your run?

Was there anything about the course and Sasuke that you did not expect (and/or may have hindered your performance)?

What was going through your head when you saw the new obstacles, did they seem threatening? Were you happy that the pole maze and flying chute were gone, or afraid you might mess up on the new ones?

A couple questions:
-If you would have made it past Stage 1 in time, how much further do you think you could've gone?
-If you get to come back again, will you do anything differently, whether it be technique on the course itself or training for the course?

-Did you think the course was easy/hard as you expected it, and why?

-What were you thinking when your foot was hanging, but keeping you out of the water on the Slider Jump?
-How did it feel/What was it like getting farther than all of the All-Stars and ANC guys?
-What were your thoughts watching Yuuji attempt the Final Stage

In my opinion, two of the toughest obstacles in the first stage are the Jumping Spider and the Slider Jump. What would you say is the best way to train for these two obstacles without building exact replicas based on your experiences with them in Sasuke 22?

Out of all the obstacles from the 2nd & 3rd stages you unfortunately didn't get to try out, which one(s) were you:
1. Most nervous/afraid of facing? 2. Wanting to try the most?
Hope you'll be able to go to Sasuke 23 David.
