Taki Kudari (滝下り), originally named Maruta Kudari (丸太下り), called Log Drop in English broadcasts, was a First Stage obstacle used as the sixth obstacle in SASUKE 1. Placed right before Free Climbing, it was a vertical log that competitors used to slid down onto a mat, although some competitors bypassed it all together and just jumped from the platform above.
TBS officially counted it as the sixth obstacle in SASUKE 1, something that was not done by English broadcasts, even with Log Drop naming. However, in the next tournament, it was not regarded as an individual obstacle, only referred by the announcers as the Oriru Maruta (降りる丸太), counting the obstacle as a medium to Free Climbing, in a similar fashion to how Brick Climb would be to Spider Walk in the future. In its appearance, it didn't eliminate any competitor at all, probably the reason it was replaced by Tarzan Jump and Rope Climb in SASUKE 3.
