The Metal Spin, SASUKE 14
The Metal Spin (メタルスピン) is an obstacle in the Second Stage that replaced the Gyakusō Conveyor in SASUKE 14.An array of chains dangle from a horizontal wheel that freely spins, resembling a chandelier, over a water hazard. The competitor must jump to grasp one of the ropes, spinning the wheel to the other side. Starting in SASUKE 15, the ropes were replaced with bungee ropes causing the ropes to stretch and requiring competitors to have a strong grip to prevent the rope from slipping out of the competitors' hands. It was the only Second Stage obstacle to be retained after Nagano Makoto's kanzenseiha. However, it was changed. The Shin-SASUKE version has a longer run-up but the actual obstacle is also further from the platform than in previous versions. It is still in the Second Stage as of SASUKE 25.
