Edit: I guess a new thread was started for this so I guess I'll be in charge of posting the videos cut from G4's broadcast.
Should I embed the videos or just post the links? And let me know if you find other videos and I'll add them to this list.

Damn Jason you almost had it! Just slipped. Maybe if you started back the extra foot you might of had more momentum. Hopefully you'll get another shot!

Maybe we should create a video list? I'm sure there's a lot we missed Would be nice to have that all in one thread for others to see and share? Thoughts?

@robby
Yeah, I've been analyzing my run for some time and I definitely think I could've benefited from a number of things, even if it was just taking an extra second or two to refocus. I definitely took the shock created from jumping onto the cargo net too lightly and it just ripped my grip away.
But ultimately it comes down to why I love this show/event. You only get one shot and you better as close to flawless as possible or you'll end up failing. As always, it's just more motivation for the next one.
@ Arsenette That'd be a cool idea, I'm pretty sure I've seen other videos pop up now that the prelims have been aired, it'd also keep it all nice and neat in one place.

I don't know if this really constitutes news or not but I thought this would be the most appropriate place to post. I wasn't shown on the G4 broadcast so here's my run: You were going really fast though, you definitely could've had a top 30 time granted the rest of your run went fine.

Haha, thanks Bada and that's another thing that's great about this stuff, the big "what ifs?".
I was a little bit worried about the jumping bars since they made them completely horizontal this year. And of course the warped wall has stopped many ninjas was tons of potential. I did get to try out the warped wall after they finished filming on the last day and though I didn't get it on a half-assed attempt, I felt I was pretty close and it was doable. But after running the course and having the added pressure of the audience and cameras, who really knows?
I had several dreams after ANW2 about what if I passed the bridge of blades. I'm sure I'll have some Jump Hang dreams soon.
I'm sure so many competitors (Yamada especially) experience the what if moments after their failures. What if Nagano didn't fail the first stage in ______ tournament? What if Akiyama didn't mess up on the half-pipe attack where we could see him in the 2nd and 3rd stage again where his poor vision isn't as much of a hinderance?
Either way, I really hope I get to try out yet again. I'm still in my prime so I still feel like I can get faster and stronger barring injuries. I've just really got to work on my focus and putting everything all together.
