According to Levi, Brent was 12th. He's wearing the sun hat.
You can ask some of them where they failed. They have youtube channels. I only know Ryan failed the rope swing, Caine, Strat and Trevor failed the salmon ladder too slow, and Travis Rosen failed the jumping spider.
I didn't post the full 45 list because Oti wasn't on it and he got 1:27 and there were some 1:40 times on there. I only remember Aaron Carson missed the cut by 1 or 2 and Andres de la Rosa was near the top. So I felt the top 45 was false and irrelevant so I declined to post it. Especially since I manually have to create line spacing and text type using a PS3 browser that shuts down whenever it wants....

Sims failed the + bridge. I don't even know if Luci competed. I kinda want to know if any girls made it past the jumping bars

Any news of Brett Sims or Luci Romberg? Brett's information and run were recorded earlier in the thread. I don't believe Luci was even there.

Chris put this up, but it's pretty much stuff we've already seen So glad he put this up since i like hearing what they are saying to each other. Was laughing at what Yuuji did after Nagano's demise. Loved the warped all thing and especially enjoyed the UCH practice trying to get to the first straight ledge.

Oh btw William also was too slow to the salmon ladder to advance. So was Trevor Vaughn. (Confirmed by Jason earlier). Travis Rosen failed while walking on the jumping spider. He slipped and grabbed the support bar. < Confirmed by him on G4 forum and in youtube video. (For more fail spots)

Whew. Ok we'll it's been a couple weeks now but I'll do my best to fill in the gaps. I just got back to home last week and started work again so my compilation of my ANW videos is still forthcoming. Ok first off, I double checked my pics. The final 15th competitor to make it is the guy in the bottom right hand corner with the long hair in the gold g4 shirt. This was taken before it everybody else had run the course but I definitely remember him being the final guy. Now as to where people failed: The first person to run the semi finals course, who I thought I heard was named Andrew, failed on the cross bridge. Says on that previous list that his name is Andrew Karson. So did Ibrahim Peek. (I made special note of the cross bridge failures because that's what took me down and I said to my gf before the semis that I expected it to take down a few semi finalists) I have a video of a guy that I thought I heard "Dustin!" in the crowd noise wearing a black wifebeater and shorts made it up half a rung on the salmon ladder. Maybe Austin, since that's the most similar name on the list. The guy with the striped white polo shirt (And was later wearing a Vietamese hat in the above pic) missed the trampoline jump on the salmon ladder. I assume he was 16th because he was seated after the 15th competitor. Chris W., who we know from the g4 forums (and has a pretty gnarly backyard course), failed the salmon ladder and made it up two rungs before failing the 3rd one. He actually looked really strong on it, and later said to me that he rushed it. He ran the actual course pretty fast but he also tested out the trampoline. I'm assuming that G4 counted the "fastest time" as when they actually made a jump for the salmon ladder, not when they made it to the top of the warped wall. Right now I can't think of exactly or have video of where people failed. I only recorded if they made it past the jumping bars. And at the end of the semis my battery was dying so I didn't catch everyone towards the end.

So this picture was taken before the final few ran. Thus crossin David Money off our list. Leaving Austin Green, Patrick Cusic, Thomas Hall and Andy Taber. I looked at a Colorado parkour video with him. He doesn't look like the g4 guy or the guy in the blue hoodie but I can't confirm it. We'll figure out who they are soon! LOL

K, just checked my vids one more time. Sean Morris failed the Salmon ladder. Made it up 3 rungs pretty fast and then rushed and didn't hit the 4th.
It's been said before but Travis Rosen did fail the spider walk.
Trevor Vaughn failed the salmon ladder. I know he grabbed the bar but I don't remember if he made it up any rungs or not.
Someone early on, like the 2nd or 3rd to run, I believe failed the jumping bars. I also think that somebody else failed the jumping bars but now that some time has passed I can't be 100% sure on that.
I've pretty much exhausted all that I remember from that weekend. Even though we've narrowed it down quite a bit, I still think there might be a suprise or two when G4 airs it. Like I wouldn't be suprised if one or two of the final 15 couldn't make it the boot camp so they had to use alternates or something.
And everybody, please, please watch this and tell your friends to as well when it comes on G4 (December). I'm really excited to see it when it is finally aired as the producation value just seems like it'll be way above and beyond with what they did with ANW1. I would love to see ANW grow and grow so we can have separate stages. I'm pretty sure my run will be cut since it was pretty unexciting and I didn't have a spectacular wipeout but since I was there everyday, I should at least get in some audience shots, not that I even cared about being on TV.
Oh and incase it hasn't already been said, I believe G4 currently plans on doing this annually as opposed to every Sasuke. On the ninja warrior facebook page, that's what was stated as the current plan. I also anticipate another jump in the quality of competitors and I just hope that I can make a good enough video since I really think that next year they'll actually be selective about it.
Good luck to the finalists and my personal predication is that Evan "Rocket" Dollard is going to make it to at least the 2nd stage. If David makes it past the 1st stage then I really think we'll see someone beat the UCH. I also think we'll see Levi back in the 3rd stage again. That is as long as the boot camp does a good job of sending the best competitors to Japan.

Evan Dollard is awesome. David told me he was one of the few to actually beat the semi final round.

Yeah he is and he just seemed extremely confident (but not cocky) at the tryouts. Also I think he has a huge advantage given that he was on American Gladiators for a whole season so being in front of an audience probably shouldn't bother him too much. We'll see though, Sasuke is a funny thing and even the strongest competitor can get tripped up by something like a springboard.

If I could pick 10 out of the 13 I'd pick... Levi Brian Rich David Travis Shane Evan Ryan Dorian Adam T I like that list, the only thing I'd switch is Shane with Adam Laplante. Course Shane just screwed the trampoline up, so I didn't get to see how well he'd actually do on the Salmon Ladder. But I also think that if Strat hadn't screwed the jump up then he would have killed the Salmon ladder. I hope G4 learns from this and ANW 3 has a more reasonable approach to the obstacle so we can see if more of the competitors can handle the actual obstacle and not an awkward jump from higher ground. I also really hope that the boot camp is going to be obstacle related and not something like a bench press and brick throwing competition.

As awkward as the jump to the Salmon ladder my seem, several obstacles require that you are consistent on the trampoline to succeed. Jump Hang, Jumping Spider, and the Circle Slider to name a few. So while it may seem out of place for the Salmon Ladder, the trampoline jump to an obstacle is just as much part of the obstacle. Many a contestant have been defeated before they even make it to the obstacle part due to underestimating how important that jump is. Just a skill that Ryan (and many of us) should work on for the next ANW.

Oh, I'm not discounting a trampoline jump at all, but I just never recall a trampoline jump from a higher point to a lower one in Sasuke. That is way different that just a runup to trampoline.
I remember back in highschool, my friend had a trampoline and several of my friends and I got the great idea to jump from the 2nd story window onto it expecting to get massive air. What happened? Our legs buckled each time because it was way different that just jumping progressively higher.
This is exactly what happened to the first several competitors at ANW who didn't test out the trampoline. After those guys, everybody was shouting "Test it out!" or "Stay tight!" when somebody reached the trampoline. After people saw David test it out, almost everybody after did as well.

Guys.. can we do predictions in another thread? This was supposed to be about pics and videos. It's hard to sift through this stuff (which legitimately requires it's own thread because I'm sure there's plenty of discussion and speculation) just to see if there are any pics/videos that are new.

Guy in the hot seat ran 1 after David in the semi's making him Patrick Cusic. All I need to know is if the guy in the blue hoodie ran 2nd in the semis. If so he's Thomas Hall. If not I'm 99% sure it's Austin Greene. Making me the winner of figure it out =D

I don't know if this was brought up, but I would like to say that I'm very thankful to everyone who's posted videos and links to videos for the ANW2. Seeing how much footage got used from ANW last year on G4 (10 seconds was it?), it's nice to see what I missed, not being able to go out to Cali. So once again, a BIG thank you from me to you guys for sharing.
