2018/19 American Ninja Warrior thread

Was surprised to see them set up near work last week. They filmed a qualifier on Fri. and Sat.

When I've watched it on t.v., I've always thought to myself, I could crush that course (those thoughts may or may not have been influenced by some liquid courage) :D. Truth is, the scale is much more impressive in person. It was amazing to see how many contestants failed to move beyond just the 3rd obstacle.

Still, it would've been fun to give it a shot but evidently registration took place some time ago; no walk up registration. Also, filming was at crazy hours...something like 8pm, 12am, and 3am.

Watching the dude with noticeable Parkinson's run the course makes me feel like an even bigger pussy for bailing on the gym today.

It's instances like those that help me to keep things in perspective! I wish him the very best in his future.
 
Still love it, but obvious it is getting too big.

A whole obsticles set up around the new Mission Impossible movie (with clips shown during the performance).

2 full minutes of commercials while while they show another runner doing the course in a small corner of the screen. Looked like a good run too, would have liked to hear the play-by-play.
 
Dude goes shoeless...hell of a good run. Although I wonder if his bare feet give him better traction on the wall?
