Ninja Warrior

[The Don]

Am I the only one who loves this show? 100 people doing an insane obstical course.

The first stage is just for idiots (IE Comedians, actors and normal idiot) to get their kicks, but the second and third stage is insane Swinnign from chain to chain, jumping from bar to bar and so on. G4 has almost made up for all the Star Trek they show with this. Too bad the show is only on once a week.

Here is the best video I could fine on YouTube of it.

Ninja Warrior

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Ninja Warrior is a televised tournament held in Japan. It consists of four obstacle courses, each more difficult than the last.

Participants must complete each stage in 95 seconds, with the final stage consisting of a 100 foot vertical climb with only a 30 second time limit. Each challenge increases in difficulty as the competitor makes his or her way through the course.

Since 1997, over 1,400 individuals have attempted stage one of the Ninja Warrior tournament. Only 200 competitors have successfully completed the first stage.

Overall, only one person has managed to navigate all four stages completely, within the time restraints.

One particular point of interest is the broad spectrum of participants. Many comedians from various Asian countries compete, as well as firefighters, martial artists, wrestlers, jugglers, Olympians such as Paul Hamm even some competitors as young as 14 years old.

Currently, Ninja Warrior can be seen in the The United States on the G4 channel, Tuesday nights at midnight EST.
