Here it is too, sorry! I keep forgetting to check both, dont hate me, lol. I had a blast meeting everyone, it was a dream come true, haha. I did meet Olivia and gave her hell about not picking me, turns out she did pick me as one of the top three but then narrowed it down to David. She hugged me and said I felt like one giant muscle, which is probably the best compliment a woman has ever given me, hahaha so she is forgiven. I put my camera up by that time though so no footage of me talking with her, hopefully that will be on G4 come 21 June.
Id say the only thing missing from the course was some one speaking Japanese over the loud speaker while we were running it, Kristen wasnt doing a good job on keeping up with the action. The obstacles were close to the real thing I would imagine except for a few spots like the cliffhanger being only half as long, no huge gap from the trampoline to the spider jump and no gap from the pipe slider (glider more like it!) to the platform. But the warped wall, steps and doing the spider climb were pretty authentic feeling. Id maybe 10 people finished the whole thing correctly with time to spare on the clock. I didnt really look at my run like "Oh I got one of the fastest times blah blah blah" like G4 was trying to make me do in the after interview. I had to tell em its all about getting people passionate to run the course, it doesnt matter who's the fastest, just so long as we beat the stage and keep moving on to the next one. As soon as I did finish the run one of the G4 producers for the ANC competitions said they need to get me to Japan, and of course all I could say was, I'll be entering in ANC 5. So we'll see!

LOL Strat don't apologize since this is really your second post.. ever.. LOL Glad it went well for everyone (meaning the event was a success) and ya'll had a chance to meet up and be geeky with da Ninja (Gaww.. did I just say that?).. either way it's a good step forward and I hope they grow from here and actually have a trials like they do in Japan. Half the fun of watching Sasuke these days is watching the Trials!

This was good exposure for Strat. G4 could pull his interviews, his runs, and his past entries and build a story on top of it. Same goes for all the other dedicated guys who trained and came out for this event. I heard that the forum guys were treated well and some were interviewed by G4 (Leon told me he was interviewed too). The obstacle course was cool and was a reasonable replica (all factors considered), but getting in front of G4 and doing your stuff on it is smart too. This could pay off. I hope G4 will do more of these this summer.

Straticus = "Susan Lucci"? Don't let it be so! This was good exposure for Strat. G4 could pull his interviews, his runs, and his past entries and build a story on top of it.

I hope G4 will do more of these this summer. Agreed! They have the potential to hair their own Cliffer and park stars

Dang I hope I dont wind up like Susan Lucci! I had to wikipedia that one though, no clue who she was, nominated 11 years in a row for an emmey then finally gets one! Well the only thing I will do that is like her story is that I wont give up until I do go. Then I probably wont go again unless G4 invites me back, would like to give it my all one time and then make room for more people to give it a shot since the slots are so limited.
