ANW 10

[scnoi1217]

Well, we know it happened in 21 (101 people) and I'm pretty sure it happened in 22 (because Ishikawa didn't have a number).

So do we know if all 10 ANW guys ran?

No, there were reports that SASUKE 23 had 104/105 people run, mainly because of ANW. That's why most don't have any number.

He was obviously joking, but thanks for the info.

We know of 8 in the broadcast atleast, maybe 9 but I only counted 8.

The other/s weren't shown.

Travis being one of them... wonder what happend.

[arsenette]

We know for a fact that Travis ran We'd have to wait on the other confirmation I don't see why all 10 did not compete if that helps.

[Badalight]

Well David made to sure to keep quiet about Travis

Well I do want to see how the magically edit ANW.. and of course any behind the scenes stuff they did (if any) in Sasuke.

A good bit of the semi finalists didn't have a clue about ninja warrior. Seems it was passed around the parkour community at the last minute. I found this out from talking to a few of them since I was there as a semi finalist and I had to sit through the same paper work headache and legal briefing that they did. When it came time to sign and the limitations came up for which shows you could be on after doing ANW and potentially Sasuke out in Japan, hands were raised and concerns about their parkour / acting / stuntman career came into question. Granted those things are important but give the people that know the show and want to be there a chance instead of calling up your agents to work out the paper work. Take a wild guess who that was! Oh and yea some of them didn't even care about running the course either, just wanted to go back to Japan. Horse's a**...

After watching all thirty go through the full ANW course I would definitely say cardio played a huge factor. Many of them were extremely out of gas at the end of it and one even went and called out some dinosaurs aka puked his lunch up after his run hahahah, which we'll see Im sure since the camera was right there. Im sure they will work on what is needed to get better. I wonder if 10 more will be selected to go the next time or they will take it down to just a few? Especially seeing how only 3 out of 10 moved on to the next stages with 2 of those being repeats from before.

All 10 competed. Levi, Brian, and Rich did the best! That is all I can say. I WANT A FREE TRIP TO JAPAN TOO..lol

According to Shane the reason why he timed out is because his shoes wouldnt stick to the walls on the Jumping Spider and he lost too much time.

[penguincatfish]

I wanna know what kind of shoes everyone was wearing.

[Straticus]

Say it aint so! I think Shane had on Vibram Fivefingers if I saw correctly. I know he wore them at ANW and from the clip at Sasuke 23 it looked like the same pair. Wonder which kind he had. There are three different versions, wonder if one is supposed to grip more than the other.

[Ninja Chris]

He had his fivefingers with him, but something hurt his foot and he was forced to wear regular tennis shoes during his run. His feet still ached during his run, and we know he was able to get to the rope swing before his time-out, but he would have done fr better if he would have been able to fit into his fivefingers.
