The creators of Sasuke (Ninja Warrior) decided that after Makoto Nagano achieved Total Victory in the 17th Season, they'd have to make all the stages harder. So, they redesigned Stages 1 - 3, adding in brand new obstacles and only keeping the most difficult obstacles from previous seasons (such as the CliffHanger). They also redesigned Stage 4, completely taking out the 12-meter Spider Climb, making the Final Stage into nothing more than a 22.5-meter (74 foot) rope climb. And, if they haven't changed the time limit, one only has 30 seconds to get to the top. That means a competitor would have to climb an average of 3-feet per second if they have any chance of getting to the summit in time. Sounds nearly impossible. So, I've decided to really step up my Ninja Warrior Training, and one thing I'm going to do is focus on climbing ropes.I've always considered myself to be moderately strong, fit and healthy. I've been into weight-lifting for years; I've competed in many long-distance races, including one marathon at the young age of 16; and I've obtained the rank of Black Belt in Korean martial arts. However, it wasn't until November of 2007--the month I was introduced to the competitors of Japan's famous Sasuke "Ninja Warrior" Competition--that I realized what it really meant to be strong. Powerful men and heros such as Makoto Nagano, Mr. Ninja Warrior, and Shunsuke Nagasaki acted as the catalyst to spark my desire to compete in Ninja Warrior, and so I immediately began my training.As I mention in the video, my goal is to compete in the SPRING, 2009 Ninja Warrior Competition (in or around the end of April, beginning of May, 2009), and I've trained hard for it. Of course, I'll continue my training, always progressing in strength, speed, agility, endurance, and flexibility, and I'll do my best to create small videos such as this one to chart my progression.By the time I submit my G4 American Ninja Warrior Challenge Video (right around December, 2008 / January, 2009), I hope you'll all watch and vote for me. With your votes and with your support, I'll have the opportunity to travel to Japan and represent the American People in Sasuke's 22nd Season. However, I have no intention of simply going and competing and having a good time. I'm going to win! I'm going to become the first true American Ninja Warrior, by conquering all four stages and ascending to the summit of Mount Midoriyama!Please continue to watch my videos. As time goes on, the videos will become more and more impressive. I promise you that.Thanks for watching and for your support. If you leave a comment, please leave one of support and encouragement. Nobody likes receiving comments intended to ridicule and tear down one's dreams.The song I used in this video is called "Push It" by Static-X.

Nov 21, 2008 - If it was a full on rope climb, I think the time limit would either be 30 or 35. Akiyama's pace in Sasuke 4 was about 0.625m/s, which would just about finish 22.5m in 35 seconds. Of course you'd have to deal with the added fatigue and a much more taxing third stage right before it. 30 seconds might be pushing it a little, lol.

NixSeraph Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - I agree. I think 30 seconds is approaching impossible.

Nov 21, 2008 - exellent vid bro

TMM098 Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - I just saw a video of a guy climbing a 20m rope in 26.5 seconds. That's just about the pace that would be needed for 22.5m with a 30 second time limit. A top rope climbing enthusiast could barely do it when he was fresh...

NixSeraph Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - Is that video on YouTube? If so, please reply with the link to it. I really feel like I need to know just how fast I'm going to need to climb in order to get to the top. Thanks.

TMM098 Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - watch?v=gr1cEpZREf4It's right at the end.

NixSeraph Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - Hey, thanks. I just watched it. I now see exactly what I need to do in order to achieve Total Victory! Thanks a ton.
