Sasuke never was on Spike, either you mean G4 or are mixing up Ninja Warrior and MXC (which was a comedic dub of Takeshi's Castle, another TBS physical challenge show but much older, it was filmed at Midoriyama studios though ) EDIT: Wait... Never saw Sasuke 4? So you never saw Akiyama be the first person to achieve Kanzen Seiha!? Sure Nagano's is more famous and Yuuji did it twice but Akiyama was the first

Or we could all just do Asaoka's technique of placing your head out in front of the bar for stabilizing, but you need some flexibility to hold it long enough before you hurt yourself.

A strategy that I never see used... just letting the bar slide back, but using all the power you can on the return swing. Being half a foot back and getting a good swing out of it is a good compromise. That's the strategy I perfected on my old broken pipe slider

Sure Nagano's is more famous and Yuuji did it twice but Akiyama was the first Could have sworn I saw it on Spike TV/Bravo, maybe it shared a channel with G4TV in my region? I've seen Akiyama's kanzenseiha online but never on TV. Also I looked at Travis' sasukepedia page, and him being a US Navy salvage diver sounds veeeery familiar, but I guess he wasn't impressionable enough to remember

Back to Pipe Slider technique... I've never been a fan of the Pipe Slider since I feel there's too much uncertainty regarding if the bar will "cooperate" and stick to the track or slide all around. However, the technique I think is most successful is the one where you swing only enough to get a bit of momentum and then shoot your legs up almost bar height and then make a big arc to the landing platform. Nagano's Pipe Slider clear in 17 is an excellent example of this.

I would kip from about 4 feet out from the end in a sort of flying-bar manner, so that the bar hits the end with my body leaning forward and my legs behind me for a solid swing to the platform. I'd rather not deal with the whole pipe-sliding-backwards issue. Heh, I've thought of the same exact technique before! I think it would actually work well.
