Bleh! Can't wait to see my wipe out, lol. Looked like an ejection seat launched me, I didn't even come close to the bar, I went straight back and feet in the air into the water lol. Seeing how I ran 6th I was still pretty concerned about time so I didn't wait that long before jumping so I just went and when I realized I over shot the trampoline and hit towards the front and not the middle it was too late. After me and Shane and about 2 others whiffed it there everyone started to drop down to test it. It was just a lot tighter than the others, plus dropping down and going back up and out was tricky. Wish I could have gotten it but just glad I did twice as good as I did last year! Shane's time held up and he is in the top 15 if that wasn't already stated. Well now that all the pressure is gone I can go back to training and get ready for next year! Man what a trip! Oh and I got video of Nagano asking me to use my sticky spray on his boots before his run, what an honor!

Here is Strat's run from the semifinals. Great stuff. Really hope you get it next year man, I was really rooting for you as I know you've been trying out forever and just missing the cut each time. Oh and I'll be adding pics to my photobucket album in the next hour (spoilers): s88.photobucket.com/albums/k163/jpwhitt/American%20Ninja%20Warrior%202/And I think that rather than upload all of the videos I have, I'll just make a big compilation of the best of what I got from the weekend. It'll have spoilers from the semis so just be aware. It might take me a day to get all that together as I want to really improve my movie maker skills since I just started using it.

Ok, here's pics of the final 15. I took 4, but you can't quite make out everybody. This was taken at the very end of the day, after all the runs had been completed and right before they called it a wrap. I'm not completely familiar with everybody as I never got a chance to watch all of ANW1 (I was overseas, and if anybody has torrent or download I would appreciate it), but I could probably name about 10 of the people. I would've tried to get better pics but I got a horrible sunburn on my face and was past ready to get into some shade. I know that astrocalder from the G4 boards had his camera rolling at this time so he must have some better angles (plus he's at least more than a few inches taller than me.) of the finalists. Final 15 Spoiler Top row had the fastest times from left to right: I have it as Travis F., Levi, Adam Truesdell Next row is: Paul Kasemir, David Campbell, Rich, Next row is: Ryan "Cloud", Evan "Rocket", Dorian Next row is: Adam Laplante, Brian O., Brent Steffensen Next row is: Shane, (Blue hoodie) "Hot seat"- The 15th competitor: ? (gold g4 shirt) Anybody feel free to let me know where I messed up and help fill in the blanks

Hmm you sure that's the top 15? because I saw a couple people seated that I know for a fact were eliminated earlier..

Almost positive. Just because they may have not made it through the full course, they still had a chance to make it for the top 15. The guy with the banada was the last person to actually complete the course. Brian O. failed the ring slider. Everybody else was judged on how fast they got to the Salmon Ladder.

Brian K. was there and he was just a tester though since we knew he was eliminated in the prelims.. at least that's what I saw was first picture top left. Also positive I saw Caine Sinclair and he was also eliminated.

Gotcha. I'm not completely sure of all the people's names and unless they did a switcharoo at the last moment then it's entirely possible. This was taken during the last minutes of filming so I've really got to assume that this is it. Allison did some last minute filming and signed off.

AAAAAAH I just noticed something.. the first name I mentioned was actually on the OTHER side of the barrier now that I compare the pics.. still not sure about the other though.. could be because it was Tempest sitting together. I only know part of the list that's in but not all of it so that's a good guess given the seating arrangements Thanks!

Am I missing something or am I not hearing anything about Levi Meeuwenberg? (other than making the top 30)

NVM I read it.
Well the Adam in the back is Adam Truesdell & the guy with the bandana looks like Adam Laplante.
The guy in the red looks like this guy:
I believe his name is David Money.

Yeah, David Money sounds right. I really had no idea about the guy in the Bandana's name and looking at the video that's definitely him

Cool you have some of my pics. One mistake. My name is Jason Paul. Not Jason Whitt. The whitt part from my photobucket album is from ages ago when my friend Whitt set it up for me when I was new to this whole internet fad.

Someone needs to ge David or Chris here to fill in the blanks. Kinda was hoping Sean Morris made the final but it's unlikely unless he's wearing the straw hat.

Adam LaPlante is one apparently. I'm not sure who he is but I'm sure the freerunners know him Jason yeah that pic definitely is exactly what you thought it was. That is the top 15.
