I never really got what those people were all fussed up over. It's basically a breathing exercise that helps me relax and zone in. And yes I do visualize the energy of the universe flowing through me. Also I imagine I am the center of the universe and so for example on the obstacle course it's the course that's moving around me and mot me moving through the course if that makes any sence......it's an Aikido thing heh! (well the fancy hand movements are Karate) But TBS asked me to do it first of all (before that they asked me to do friggen air guitar because I said I was a musician, then after I turned that down they wanted me to do a backflip but I'm not that solid on those and land on my face half the time, so I'm like "uhhhh how bout this" and did the fancy breathing thing to which they agreed). But even if they don't know any of that, I did if BEFORE my run how was I wasting time by posing? I think they're just haters. I did waste some time on the trampoline for sure, but I just wanted to make sure I didn't fall. No 2 trampolines are the same and I really had no idea how it was going to feel (if you try to spring off a trampoline too soon or too late it drasticially decreases your bounce!). Also I should point out that I didn't have the opportunity to practice with the all-stars on their exact replicas of the Sasuke trampoline as past ANC winnder did! If I had I wouldn't have had to test it obviously. *end rant* But yeah I do plan on mentioning some issues I had during stage 1 and addressing how I've worked on them. Did I mention I built a full scale Slider Jump?

Sorry for making you go on a rant, but I just pointed it out so that those idiots can realize that you were doing it for good cause.
Can I see a picture of it?

And I feel like crying right now because I have no space nor the money to build something like this.

Yes, it wasn't stupid. Yes, general audiences don't realize that. As someone who had the general idea of what he was doing, I still think he looked silly, but not that much more or less silly than everyone else. It probably didn't help that he was trying to do a meditative exercise with a clock on him. I think TBS's translation of David's post-run interview was more ridiculous than anything else, but my experiences are horribly biased in that aspect.

"If he wouldn't have kept doing all his little kung fu moves he'da had more time left. He was just like that Bruce Lee guy from years ago. Still, a decent 1st time run."
"ninja focusing f****d him over. Next time stop posing and jump!"
"If only he didn't pose so much... do us a favor G4 and don't send this guy back again."
The last one was the one where people ticked me off about your run.

Oh, no I was talking about the TBS transtation of what I said after my run, heh!
Yeah I saw all that crap, bastards! I've been getting hater comments on my video's since ANC2 though so it doesn't bother me.

David.. I want your back yard.. enough said Carry on Actually it's my older brother's backyard. My backyard is a bit small and is allready getting crowded from the few obstacles I've built already. So I talked him into letting my take over a corner of woods on the edge of his property. Eventually I'll have the entire course minus a couple gay obstacles like the Circle Hammer. oh I got it, how 'bout "Campbell Castle" hahaha After the Slider Jump , next is a full scale final stage and the Jumping Spider! I actually found the company that makes the yellow trampoline from Sasuke it's only $1300 plus $500 shipping! My nephew and I are actually planning on going in together and buying it, but I just can't afford it at the moment. If I win Sasuke that's the first thing I'll buy though!

Yah supernovamaniac Im in NJ too ={ WE'RE MISSING ALL THE ACTION ..... They say NJ to great too since im 15 mins from NYC pfft id rather be davids neighbor or something haha Yea... haha All I can practice is Spider Climb atm around the school, when its in session. I'm thinking of making Cliffhanger replica since I need to increase my grip strength (for golf uses too), but I don't know where I would place it. Plus, the budget... I still don't have a job cause of school =P P.S. Someone should get a person in Alpine to make a backyard course... Heck, if they are really into SASUKE, they can make the whole course and still have leftover money. Huge land? check Lots of money? check Workers around the area? check All the equipments? check SASUKE lover? uhh.... go find one?
