Vlcsnap-821583 — *Downhill Jump*, SASUKE 22

The Downhill Jump (ダウンヒルジャンプ) is a Second Stage obstacle that was introduced into the course with the course redesign in SASUKE 18 following Nagano Makoto's kanzenseiha. Similar to the Super Jump in KUNOICHI, the competitor must slide down a track standing on an snowboard-like object, and then jump to a rope on a track, which then swings towards a mat which the competitor must jump onto. Since its introduction it has eliminated two people, both SASUKE All-Stars: Nagano Makoto in SASUKE 20 and Shiratori Bunpei in SASUKE 21. While it has been in every Shin-SASUKE tournament and has always been the first obstacle in the Second Stage, it has undegone a series of minor changes since its introduction in SASUKE 18.

In the original version, the rope stopped much shorter than the rest of the tournaments, requiring competitors to use their momentum to reach the landing pad. In SASUKE 19 and every tournament afterwards, the rope stopped much closer to the mat, even allowing competitors to hold onto the rope, swing back, and land.

In SASUKE 19, the rope moved at a much lower velocity than in all other versions.

In SASUKE 20, the ramp was positioned at a greater angle and thus the board moved much faster than in other versions.
